HEALTH CARE DEBATE TURNS INTO SCREAMING MATCHES

1. COULD WE ALL PLEASE STOP YELLING FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!?!?!?! – Congressional Democratic leadership calls the disruptive anti-health care bill people “un-American” for yelling and stomping their feet at town hall meetings.  I have news for Ms. Pelosi.  That kind of behavior is unfortunately very much American.  (From the LA Times)

2. Hudson River Airspace has little regulation – After the deadly accident this weekend, officials are looking into how to prevent it from happening again.  (From the NY Times)

3. “You Get Old” By: Pat Jordan – Mr. Pat Jordan has been described as one of the best freelance writers of the last half century.  To say he’s tough would certainly be accurate. He’s seen a lot, done a lot, and he’s now 68.  Pick up this month’s edition of Men’s Journal (Sept. 2009) and read his piece “You Get Old.”  An excerpt can be found through this link.

4. Dear world: Get some Women in your Boardroom. Signed:  Norway - The Norwegians actually have a law that requires the boards of all public companies to be made up of at least 40%  women.  But is it working?  And what is it supposed to do?  (From NPR)

5. Vince Young seems a bit manic – I feel bad for Vince Young.  I want him to succeed.  He had a brutal upbringing.  I can’t imagine having to grow up in a house like the one he grew up in.  Now that he’s in the NFL he seems like he goes from incredibly confident to a place where he couldn’t buy a shred of self esteem with his millions.  Case in point, he just told Esquire: “I don’t know when I’ll start again. But I will be the next black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. And I will be in the Hall of Fame.“ Oh Vince…  (From Esquire and USA Today)

6. Advice on Snacking - These are great.  But don’t eat eight of them before 8am.  Eesh.
