Four minutes to save health care? What’s the rush?

1st October 2009 by Catherine Favazza 1 Comment

After the president’s recent address to Congress on the urgency of health care, the White House put together a 4-minute video featuring highlights of Obama’s presentation. This struck me as comical particularly because the president isn’t the one writing, debating, amending and voting on the legislation; Obama has a plan, sure, but the details are [...]

Nothing’s Too Hard to Handle Here

1st September 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

Today only, Amazon.com is selling the mp3 of Black Crowes’ brand new album Before the Frost … Until the Freeze for only $3.99.
Now, I know I don’t write about it very often, but I love music. I’ve long been what you might call a devout fan, thanks in no small part to my older brothers’ [...]

I’m the first of five bloggers to cover for Catherine while she’s out on vacation and from the list of women covering the rest of the week, I have to say you have a treat in store for you.  While I’m sure the other illustrious women on the list will cover some of the many [...]

Offspring Parody: Keep the Change for Another Day

13th June 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

Justin Higgins, of ShotsOnTheHouse.com and a contributor I recruited for the American Issues Project blog, has put together a great parody song that President Obama needs to hear.
It’s important to note that the use of ‘Change’ in the title and refrain refer to Obama’s Hope and Change–not coins. Clearly, there won’t be a lot of [...]
