Cameron Petersen is a 21 month old child whose family was given no hope for treatment by doctors. That is no hope by doctors in the US. China on the other hand offers cutting edge stem cell treatment that is not available here thanks to our repugnacan leadership.
Cameron suffers from optic nerve hypoplasia, a leading cause of blindness in children. The condition causes underdevelopment of the optic nerve and can lead to permanent blindness.
Cameron was treated using the latest in stem cell technology, not in the U.S. but in China.
Cameron is now showing significant improvement. Please follow the link below for details.

This is an off the top of the head rant so please bear with me. Th other day I was listening to a right wing nutjob hawk the proposed Fair Tax Initiative. The suggestion is that we do away with federal income tax and institute a 23% national sales tax in it's place. Every purchase would be taxed without exception, food, medicne, cars, all of it. This would supposedly stimulate the economy to no end. The nutjob on the radio repeatedly stated that the economy would grow 10% in just the first year. I'm calling BS on that just because the right hasn't been correct about anything in at least 7 years.

It's 1:00am est and CNN has just shown Macasskil pulling ahead Webb looks like he will win by a sliver and Tester is looking very solid in Montana. The house looks like we will pick up about 30 seats. That leaves the repugnacans with one limp dick president. George only thought he was the decider, he forgot or never knew that the voters always have the last word. The voters have clearly rejected the Bush agenda and the repugs can either co-operate to get the country back on course or they will be seen as obstructionists. These results are more than I ever hoped for, for the first time in months I will go to sleep with a feeling of hope for the country.

The republicans are crowing about the Bush administration creating 6.6 million new jobs over 6 years, let's take a look at that.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics measures employment in two ways. The Establishment Survey gathers data directly from 400,000 companies and then estimates how many Americans have payroll jobs. The Household Survey, based on surveys of 60,000 households, determines how many people are working and produces the unemployment rate. Read More

Several republicans have started to blame Mark Foley for their upcoming losses on Nov. 7th. They are partly correct, the Foley scandal was the last straw for many conservatives; however the lion's share of the blame has to go to president Bush. The basic principles of what conservatives stand for are sound. Reduced federal spending, less government involvement in our daily lives, keep taxes as low as possible. It is hard to argue against any of them. The problem for the republicans has been the way the president has ignored all of the conservative principles. Read More

Today the president said that it would be fair to compare the situation in Iraq today with the 1968 Tet offensive in Viet Nam. Bush said, "George, my gut tells me that they have all along been trying to inflict enough damage that we'd leave,". I'm sure these words haunt anyone that lived through the Viet Nam years. Back then the nation was strung along year by year being told that we just needed to send a few more troops, Read More

Chicago recorded its earliest measurable snowfall ever on 10//06 with 1/3 of an inch falling and near record low temperatures. Buffalo NY also recorded 2 feet of snow the same day that left thousands without electricity. Global warming denier Matt Drudge will use his radio show to whine that "if there is global warming why is there record snowfall and record cold temperatures?" Drudge is either intellectually lazy or willfully ignorant of the climate research that has been done. Read More

ABC news reports that Bush 41 the current Presidents daddy warns of a "ghastly" future if "wild" Democrats take over congress. Bush 41 is referring to the horrors of what the rest of us call accountability. In our daily lives each of us is accountable to our employers, our family and society in general. Read More

Politicians are not exempt from the legal or moral obligation to report criminal activity to the authorities. Dennis Hastert, John Boehner, and Tom Reynolds all knew about Mark Foley's inappropriate email and instant message exchanges with underage boys and they hid it. Rather than expose the GOP to scandal they tacitly approved of what Foley did. By putting political concerns before the moral obligation to protect children from a predator they have demonstrated that they are unfit to hold the offices to which they were elected.

Are we finally are getting the true picture of "No Child Left Behind."
Boehner knew about it and did nothing. Hastert knew about it and when the story broke his office denied he knew anything about it, after Boehner spilled the beans and told reporters he had notified Hastert, Hastert's story changed. Read More
