Tort Reform
Isn't it funny that the Democrats are against tort reform? Why? Because the trial lawyers are against it and they are funding Democrats. How is it that the single most cost saving issue to fix Health Care is left out? Here is the issue. Republicans are being bought by insurance industries which don't want more regulation. Democrats are being bought by trial lawyers who could care less about malpractice insurance rates. The Congressional Budget Office has notified congress that the tort reform would resolve these costs more than any other measure. How can Democrats deny this is necessary. People still need to be able to sue when a Dr. screws up. If my neighbor wins $500k when he sues his Dr. who pays for it? I do every month when I buy insurance. Everyone does. The money goes back in the system. Problem is you have to allow for the lawsuits. How much is allowable is the big question, but one that needs addressed.

Cold
Warmer air holds more moisture allowing for bigger snowstorms. So while people who are anti climate change may say something about the big snowstorms there is a possibility that they were bigger due to climate change. I am amazed at how cold it is here in Atlanta. I like it here, but it has been cold and my gas bill has reflected it so far.

Saints
New Orleans finally won a Super Bowl. I am hopeful that someday my Seattle Seahawks will do the same thing. They have the richest owner in the league, so money won't be a problem. I hope that when Paul Allen is gone whoever takes over will keep them winning.
