I may be a little bit upset with the failure of many of the initial policy agendas, and their lack of liberal-ness, but right now, I’m feeling good on Obama, and the future. Why, well, that turns out to be a research question in and of itself. Most of my positive thinking right now is [...]

I’m procrastinating a bit here, but I need to get my creative juices flowing again, and hey, this website is really nice, so I guess I should try to keep it up. But the main issue here, is that I’m disappointed in Barack Obama. Seriously disappointed. Ridiculously disappointed. I’m glad I have had a fair amount [...]

It might seem like a fantasy, and I’m wondering if it is. But if the Democractic Federal Government fails to pass and fully-implement & fund comprehensive health care reform, maybe the only hope leftists like me have a chance to show the country that single-payer works in the United States is to make it work [...]

This is the first in what will probably be a several part series of rants and internal monologues about how I feel about Goldman, Sachs. Basically, the company can go bite the curb, collectively. If you’ve been paying attention to the recent noise over Goldman, you are definitely familiar with Matt Taibbi and his article, [...]

“If during the week you need an audio fix, you can download the podcast on iTunes by searching for Matt Darey Nocturnal in the iShop.” I’ve been hearing that line a lot recently, in my car, via either internet radio, mp3, podcast, or burned CD-RW. Listening to the latest in dance music is hard work. There [...]

This has been a very depressing news cycle for me. Ugh. So much negativity swirling around my head. It means that you’ll probably be seeing a few rants within the next few days on this page. Iran is still a mess, and people are dying. Of course I’d like the regime to fall, as well as [...]

The book I’m still reading, Viral Spiral, (yeah, I’m an idiot slow reader. Say a prayer for me for when I get to grad school) got a little more interesting in the past few pages, namely because instead of talking about the history of the commons movement, there was a recounting of philosophical disputes between [...]

There is a lot in the news. One, we’ve got Iran in a mess. And two, we’ve got some real idiots compromising away real health reform. Three, we’ve got some real idiots compromising away on regulations that could save us from another recession like this one in the near future. Enjoy!

On the whole, I’m very happy with Obama pushing for a public option to be included in any kind of health reform bill. Without a public option, there might as well be no reform. Sure, cutting costs and expanding public health are really great things–things we should do and need to do–, but there is [...]

All of these stories are health care / reform related, so expect to see a post from me later on the need for a public option for health coverage. That’s all for now. I’m off to Berwick Senior Circle to help present some information on nutrition. Health Care Reform Bill Lacks Details Politico The Senate Health, Education, Labor [...]
