Health care reform is close at hand. If you believe you have healthcare insurance that will keep you out of debt if you get really sick, then I have a Caribbean Island for sale. It is time for all honest, moral, and informed citizens to perform their civic duty and call all of their Congress people and Senators to support The Healthcare Reform Bill with a Strong Public Option. One cannot be rational and not understand that private insurance companies by definition will not reduce their profits unless they have some baseline provided by a public option that does not have a profit incentive. It is not that insurance companies are bad, though many are outright evil, but that any profit driven corporation is tasked to maximize profits. The problem is that health insurance companies do not provide a value to justify any profits and they skim 30% of all healthcare dollars off the top. They are just a middle man.

DeFOX America From Brave New Films team
Dear Friends, Colleagues and Supporters, FOX News is on a witch hunt, aimed at destroying the Obama administration and the progressive movement. They've already succeeded in pushing Van Jones out of the White House and badgered Congress into passing an unconstitutional bill to defund ACORN. Glenn Beck actually keeps an enemies list on a blackboard that's a regular part of his show. ACORN is just the beginning. FOX has an enemies list, and they're going to keep destroying progressive champions until we stop them. Tell your Congressperson: If you vote to extend the "Defund ACORN Act," you're just assisting FOX in their anti-American witch hunt. Yours, Robert Greenwald and the Brave New Films team … [Read more...]

Fritura – A Panamanian Treat That Is Easy To Make
The thing I miss most about Panamá is the food. Luckily living in the Houston suburbs, arguably the most diverse city in the country, affords me my native foods less than 25 miles away. In this video I prepare 4 staples that are common in a meal we call fritura; fried just about everything. The meal shown here includes: Twice fried green plantains, a fruit similar to bananas. Yucca (boiled & fried), a root that grows underground similar to potatoes but with a stronger taste. Carimañola, ground beef encased in smashed yucca. Salchichas, sausage links. In Panamá these foods can be found cooked on just about every street corner in downtown Panamá City and Colón. … [Read more...]
