If 'pro' is the opposite of 'con' what is the opposite of 'progress'?

Like pointed out before, the Health Care Reform didn't end when the bill passed. The fun is just starting. Republicans have already stated they are going to everything in their power to block this bill from taking effect and that could be a terrible thing.

Just a few moments after the bill passed, Democrats who supported the bill are now being threatened - this includes "accidents" and vandalism. This shows how narrow minded people are about the grants they are receiving through this new consent from the Government.

The bill pretty much says if you're over 75 we're gonna kill you. With baseball bats.

And so this chapter has come to an end.... or has it?

The "Senate" bill, which dates back to december of last year, or even a little over a year ago if you trace its roots, has passed in the democratic controlled congress. Needless to say, no Republicans voted in favor (we all know they'd suffer the most from it - less income) and the biggest fear actually came from the demo-party itself.

T.E.A. – Taxed Enough Already, or in Republican terms, Total Economic Anarchy

It is striking the effort the Tea Party has been putting on to express their point of view. I'm sorry to say that it comes off completely ridiculous. I do understand that there is an association with terms like Pro-choice and Pro-labor to the party, but a lot of the time I figure they don't really know what they are talking about it, and end up making a fool of themselves.

Fairly libertarian, there is almost a sense of pro-anarchy coming off from protesters, especially when they carry slogans like "Keep Your Laws Off My Body" or "Obama's movement is anti-white", and it makes me laugh while being depressed by the stupidity of people.

If we see you smoking we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action.

Dr. Daniel Seidman wrote an article on President Obama and his smoking issue (which, for whatever reason has been getting much more attention than actually needed - I mean, several Presidents have smoked in the past and there was no big deal there), and even though I'm sure it was well-intentioned, all I have to say is stop!

How about pressuring the President to stop delaying the health care reform or focus on the Iraq war so he can meet the deadline in August, instead of extending it? Smoking is not good, but it's not something that has priority over other issues. Let the man be, cigarettes aren't hallucigens or anything of the like that are hindering his performance or decision-making process.

A nuclear war can ruin your whole day

The United States President Obama and Russian President Medvedev met to talk about a new series of Geneva treaty and to pretty much ensure the Russians the States are not going to blast them.

Cold War legacy? I don't think Russia will be happy with that at all. A the meeting I can only guess the awkwardness that it was between both the American and Russian Presidents. Though its fair to say that in our world's current situation having a good military is a viable measure, it also brings the fact that every time we build some new technology, our "frienemies" will be very irritated and frightened at the same time.

Was this meeting truly for political purposes? I doubt so. The United States is currently updating their military arms and strategies while trying to conveying everyone else to not feel threatened at all. Besides, let's be honest Medvedev is really Putin's bitch at this point, this was probably one of the most unneeded meetings over the past few months.

Al Jazeera has a video on the topic, that can be checked out after the jump.

Nicotine patches are great. Stick one over each eye and you can't find your cigarettes!

Jesus Christ! Let the man smoke!

President Obama is probably one of the most popular and influential man of our current century, and at the same time the most hated and wrongly accused of stupid shit. Being frank, I put on a lot of faith on him and I'd be lying if I said he was doing a good job at being a world leader, but it doesn't change the fact that he still is human! Of all things to be bringing it up against him, people say that smoking is their bone to pick?
