As the news media scrambles to dramatize the government’s level of surveillance on U.S. soil, I MUST ask, where was the media when the Patriot Act was passed? Or when the provisions added to National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that allow detention of US Citizens without charge or counsel? And Congress, why have you spent so much time voting to affirm “In God We Trust” (the cold war answer to E Pluribus Unum) instead of looking at things like this? I must laugh or I will cry. And you? Let's talk about this here, and today on LUNCH WITH LOUDEN, 12 Noon Pacific, http://tobtr.com/s/4841111, (blog post at http://www.coffeepartyusa.com/in_dog_we_trust_in_congress_not_so_much) Delete the scoop?

In an online discussion group recently, I was told that women did not play “significant” roles in the past. That’s a pretty sweeping statement. It’s also a fairly reductive one. Part of the problem is that the women of previous centuries are often invisible beside their menfolk; the further you go back, the less their voices can be heard. Via Deanna Dahlsad Delete the scoop?

"Many people assume all veterans have access to health coverage through the Department of Veterans Affairs, but that's not the case," says Andy Hyman. "Expanding Medicaid will go a long way toward ensuring that those who put their lives on the line for our country have access to the health care they need and deserve." According to The Pew Charitable Trusts, a quarter-million uninsured vets will miss out on Medicaid expansion. Which states will adopt and which will not? Take a closer look.http://ow.ly/ltQZb
