Latest CNN Poll: Healthcare

Republicans have always been one to says that government shouldn't be involved with our nation's healthcare, but, the people of this country say otherwise.
According to CNN, 72% of those questioned:
Seventy-two percent of those questioned in recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey say they favor increasing the federal government's influence over the country's health care system in an attempt to lower costs and provide health care coverage to more Americans, with 27 percent opposing such a move. Other recent polls show six in 10 think the government should provide health insurance or take responsibility for providing health care to all Americans.
Sorry that I cannot provide a link to the poll, but since I am now having to go through blogger instead of my own software to post, I haven't figured out how to block-quote or link to the story. You can find the poll results at CNN.com.
Power outages and blown up computers can really fuck things up!

The Freezing Rain Disaster

By now, most of you know about the power outages in Kentucky. Remarkably, there are still people without power!
The freezing rain and snow knocked out our power for 12 days. In the meantime, while running gas powered generators,my power supply and motherboard were fried, my 50 inch screen tv was also fried, as was my satellite internet modem, which came from Wildblue. I must say that Wildblue's customer service really sucks ass! I'll have more on that shit later on. Did I mention that we also lost both cell and landline phone service?
Right now I'm using my new laptop briefly only because I still have a shitload of security enhancenemts to make. I'll be back in a few d ays with the Wildblue-Hugesnet saga.
