    General Political Thread

    We should find out what went wrong and whose fault it is.  What we shouldn't do is point fingers at a cover up that is not there.  That is a failure of the GOP, they wanted the homerun, rather than play small ball.

     

    I don't blame those who question whether there was a cover up or not. Some in the administration claimed a YouTube video, some dismissed it as a violence erupting out of a protest. When Hillary said her compassionate statement she didn't seem to care about who's fault it was and she damn sure wasn't talking about YouTube videos anymore. She was flustered and I believe had a "heartless" Republican been in her position and said "what difference at this point does it make?" the media would have chewed them up and spit them out. Her statement was in response to a congressman consistently questioning her decision to not speak to the returning survivors from Libya and I believe she got a free pass from the media in that instance. I don't believe she ever took any blame from the events in Libya and I think she should have at the very least shared some of it.

    Who brought us HMO's?

    If there is no profit in health care what do we suppose will happen? It's a business, let's face it.

    As soon as you take the profit away your bright young students will chose to go into something other than medicine. Leaving us with doctors from foreign countries who are happy to make much less just to be living in our great country. Working in and around hospitals for about 20 years it is staggering to see the difference in doctors educated in the US and those outside of this country. Unfortunately it's true and I see it almost everyday.

    An incredible JT mix that a certain awesome member on this board sent me B+P a few years back. I believe it was the last shows at Axe Lounge? Anyhow, I miss that strained smokers voice that Tweedy once owned. (glad he's not smoking these days tho)
     

    Heard A Tribe Called Quest for the first time

    in Someone Else's Song

    It's not often rap albums can stand the test of time. They seem to easily fade and become pieces, for me, of nostalgia. The Low End Theory is one that sounds as fresh today as the day I bought it. Funny story, my friends and I were in a record store shortly after TLET came out and I put 2 cd's behind my back. Shaba Ranks and A Tribe Called Quest. I asked my friend to pick an arm.....the rest was high school history. Looking back i can't imagine the disappointment we would've shared had we been bumping "Shaba!" that year. Hahaha

    Ccongrats on your discovery!

    And I second PBO's (hahaha) recommendation of Buhloone Mindstate. Their style of delivery is different than ATCQ but just as unique and entertaining. That record, too, is as fresh today as it was 20 years ago.
