WTF?! Thursday

Update, (very early) Friday a.m. - I forgot to mention I found some speakers I really liked. Aren't these great?


They're Opere Sonore Sogno speakers, metallic and modern, and some other stuff about materials coexisting "in a sinuous ensemble". $263,000. WTF?!







Those liberals! "They're debating whether it is smart and ethical to have a mandate without a public option," reports Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. On the other side of the aisle, GOP senators are attempting to "kill health reform through God's intervention". Concerns? According to Jim DeMint (R-SC), it is "funding abortions, rationing care, funding medical marijuana, and euthanasia" that give him "heartburn". Of course, none of those things are actually in the bill. Scary!


WTF?!
As reported on NPR today: In Oklahoma, a new law requires any woman seeking an abortion to first answer dozens of personal questions, including why she wants the procedure. That information, names omitted, would eventually be posted on a state Web site.  more....

WTF?!
Buttons worn in my workplace: "God's Gift Merry Christmas!"

Nate Silver of  FiveThirtyEight writes "Why Progressives Are Batshit Crazy to Oppose the Senate Bill". Side note: Nate Silver has replaced Paul Krugman on my Men I Love list.



So, people, WTF?! Yes, Nate, it is time to stop being polite and start getting real.

More personally, my insurance premium has been increased. WTF?! My 401K has been frozen. WTF?! My annual Christmas bonus hasn't found its way into my checking account. WTF?! My hair has started flipping up on the right side. WTF?! It just goes to show you...it's always something (Emily Latella).

WTF?! Thursday
