Somebody just sent me the link to this video.  I’m sure there are more recent event vids, but this is posted for posterity.

Deathers

Do you truly believe that any of the bills creates a “death panel” which mandates counseling to help old people decide when to end their lives?  If so, please cite the specific passage so we can discuss it.

On the upside

Paul Krugman, the stimulus plan naysayer from the left says the economy has bottomed out.  Sure hope he’s right.  It does feel like things are a little better around these parts.  And productivity is up.

But if you’re craving a taste of the downside, the good folk at Calculated Risk will always oblige, although they’ve gone and posted a couple of items of good news as well.  What is the world coming to?

Very sad

According to the Arcata Eye, HSU’s Natural History Museum will be closing by the end of the month.  Permanently.

My kids will be very sad as will many others.  This is a major loss of a North Coast asset, one more move towards conversion of the county to a retirement community, especially if HSU is in as much trouble as the article describes.
