    Is it me or is Matt Taibbi's response to Logan's interview a little bit sexist?

    Using such terms as 'handmaidens' & 'cheerleader'. I guess that's why she feels the need to stand in front of a powerful machine such as a helicopter for her PR image.

    My girl has bought herself a pair. She has an operated hernia and is in a lot of pain at times. Since she owns a clothing store, she is mostly standing behind the counter or walking around in the shop, hanging things right. The problem was, that with standing all day, at the and her back started to sore, to really hurt. And doing that day by day, it is not a nice option.

    By using these shoes (the professional ones, not the Reebok-versions, btw) she claims it is less. Now she can stand all day, because she has to 'wiggle' a little, which keeps her back in movement. And movement of the back is the main solution to the pain, for her.

    So, for her these shoes work.
    Not as a work-out, but as a medical treatment.

    "Reacting to the surprise announcement that congressional budget referees now predict healthcare reform could top $1 trillion, the Obama administration threatened Wednesday to veto parts of its own healthcare bill. The politically explosive revelation, which is likely to give new impetus to the GOP?s repeal movement, came after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said the law potentially could add at least $115 billion to government healthcare spending over the next 10 years." That is how an ill conceived idea ends up.

    I know a lot of people are against this. In the beginning I was skeptical. However, I am now happy about the health care reform b/c I have a pre-existing condition. I never used to worry about this before b/c I had health coverage through my job. Now that I am no longer employed because of my illness, it has been VERY difficult to find health insurance. I think it is horrible to discriminate against someone like that. It is not my or anyone else's fault that we have a medical condition. We did not ask to get sick.
