1. Thanks for this great link!

I love Chris. He's so right on with this issue, and so many.

2. If I don't have to pay for my employee's health insurance I can hire more employees!

It's so amazingly simple but no one ever mentions it. If small businesses didn't have to pay Workman's Comp and for their employee's health "insurance" how much more capital would they have to hire new employees, upgrade their inventory, etc. It would have made Ford/Chevy/Chrysler and all of our manufacturers more able to compete with foreign manufacturers. Plus their employees health would improve, there would be fewer sick days and fewer people having to come to work with communicable diseases. Oh but Universal Health Care has been branded Socialist Health Care by the media and the ill informed can't have that. :banghead:

Chris Rock always cuts through the BS. Thanks for the soapbox and the video.

3. ok, I can't be quiet about this...

The WH was going to cave after Brown's election.

This package got through because of Nancy Pelosi.

Enough about how great a politician Barack Obama is.

Give credit where credit is due.

Had Pelosi been president, we'd have a public option right now.

4. Here's a link to NEW RULES

Something's strange with it this week.
New Rules is VERY SHORT, it is NOT political, and it's positioned earlier in the show and not at the end of the show as usual, weird!

5. Great show. Is it just me or does Bill Maher's speech sound a little different?.

To me, it sounds like he is not moving his mouth as much as he usually does sort of like after a dentist's appointment. I hope he is OK. He has such a great show. Thanks for posting this.
