[Politics] The big speech
0I’m actually pretty excited about Obama’s speech tonight, considering how forceful he was defending the “public option” in his speech to the AFL-CIO on Monday.
The way I see it, insurance shouldn’t be something you “buy.” It isn’t really a product at all. It’s more of a guarantee that another product will be affordable when you need it: Health care. As is, people can spend years putting money into it, only to have coverage denied when they need it. When that happens, they haven’t actually bought anything at all. They’ve just given a bunch of money to a corporation that can only profit when it doesn’t give anything back.
Anyone else feeling that edge of hope/apprehension?
Squee! Issue 17/18 of Electric Velocipede arrived!
0This is the issue that contains my story The Leaf Gatherer and floatingtide‘s story, Jointed. There’s a jaylake story there, too. Hmmm. Evidence seems to indicate that Wordos alumni have taken over Electric Velocipede. Perhaps someone should inform John Klima about that.
[Sales] “The Stonecutter” sold to Electric Velocipede
4Forgot to mention this last week. I love The Stonecutter and I’m glad it’s found a home. Should be out in 2010.
Oh, and since I haven’t been here as much as I once was, I will simply say that this year is shaping up as a good year for my writing.
