Health Care: A Right or Privilege?
Originally published at Brad’s Tiny World. Please leave any comments there.
Do you as a person have a right to healthcare? If it is a right, then it is the government’s responsibility to ensure that you get it. If healthcare is a mere privilege, does the government have the legal right to manage how much it costs? If it is a right of the people, what is the difference between healthcare and elective medical treatment? If healthcare is simply a privilege when does it become the financial responsibility of a family to keep a child or the elderly alive?
New Artist Choices You Probably Haven’t Heard Of

I need to shout out to Claudia. This morning she sent me a list of new artists, at least new to me, and I just needed to share a few of them.
First up is Marie Digby who I apparently missed somehow a while back on Weekend Edition. If you liked Brooke White on Idol I think you will like Marie Digby. The first song I want you to here is called Fool. It is the story of a good girl picking the bad boy and it basically going wrong. This is the story I always would tell college girls as an excuse of why they should leave the party with me rather than tall, dark, and braindead.
Stupid for You, is a pretty good follow up to Fool
Gas Tax Holiday Idea Stinks

The proposed Gas Tax Holiday smells like it has been stuck up the ass of a politician for years and is only now being pulled out at election time. No matter how you try and sell the plan, the results still stink.
First there is nothing to prevent stations from simply offsetting the 18.4 cent discount by raising their prices. In fact most economists believe this will happen unless the holiday comes with a price freeze. I like that second part a lot better as a driver, than I do the Tax Holiday.
Secondly, if you figure out how much gas you use in a week the saving just don’t amount to squat. My wife and I burn about 20 gallons a week in the summer between the two of us, which is better than the average single driver who burns roughly 14 gallons. If you multiply the tax savings out over the twelve weeks we save as a family $44.16 while the average single driver will save $30.91. I know you are excited about that! Face it what can a single person or a family get for between $30 and $45. Amortized over 12 weeks you will hardly notice the difference.
Keep On Googlin’

I sort of feel old that I know which song this post title was paraphrased from. Today’s pop culture report is brought to you by Google, Digg, Stumbleupon, and yours truly.
Eddy Arnold, the legendary country music singer died yesterday. For the record Eddie Arnold, despite the popularity of the Google Trend is a very different person. Also Eddy Arnold is not that guy for Green Acres. Green Acres started Eddie Albert, who has been dead since 2005. While I am not a big Eddy Arnold fan I must give him his props for all he accomplished in the music business. Here’s to you Eddy!
While Eddy died yesterday, but there are still birthdays to celebrate today.
