We get snippets of the health care thing over here on the news. What's the difference from the new system that Obama is proposing and the old one. Also, if you currently don't have health insurance what happens if you have a life threatening illness (cancer for example)?

Awww.... but I don't want to go there. I fear stepping out of my comfort zone... which is pretty restricted to this thread and the FT Regs thread.

I think it's too long to quote the whole thing here, but someone on Reddit had a really good breakdown a few weeks ago. If you're interested:

If you're not interested.... Did anyone catch Sorkin's new show "Newsroom?" I haven't seen it yet but I'll probably watch the premier over the weekend. Any good?

The wife liked it, but she historically has enjoyed his shows.

I found it somewhat preachy and trite, but I never got into any of his other shows, either.

But (apparently) trivial to put on tilt, LOL. How many professional players would destroy their own teams chances at winning the championship simply because an opposing player is obviously trying to tilt them. Zidane, you just got 1-2 Teddied!

BTW, I own the Wire box set. Not because I watch it a lot but because I want HBO and David Simon to know I appreciate their work. I also on Deadwood.

The special features on both these collections are great if you like the series.
