Mike's Blog Roundup

with help from the Woodstock generation, it was remarked that Rolling Stone cofounder Ralph Gleason, who died in 1975, died a second time. He died a third time when, in 1985, Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner boasted to advertisers that a majority of his readership voted to give Reagan another term.

Exactly who was the Woodstock Generation?

I'm a major Matt Taibbi fan. Thank you so much for pointing out that interview, it was a great read and a great interview. I'm looking forward to Matt's next book. If it's as good as his others, it will be a must read.

Seattle doctors try flat-rate no-limit primary care,

Thu, 07/09/2009 - 07:38 — Evet

$39-$119 a month all you can eat

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A Seattle clinic for people fed up with insurance, started by doctors fed up with insurance, has gotten $4 million in private venture capital money to expand, it announced on Monday.

Qliance says it has a profit-making solution to the problems of long waits, rushed doctors and cursory care that bother patients, at the same time that it eliminates the paperwork and pressure that plague primary care doctors.

"If you spent five minutes in my office you would notice there is nobody waiting. We don't have to stack them up like jets over Newark," said Garrison Bliss, a doctor and co-founder of the primary care clinic.

matt taibbi is quickly becoming my favorite journalist/writer

consider the following: "The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."

not that i rank sentences, but if i did, that would make the top ten of 2009.

on a serious note: the financialization and increasing disparity in the economy has been, historically, the death knell for leading economies. we are in deep shit, and the DLC's coddling of finance is only making the rush to collapse faster.

So what you gonna do?

He has some great, [Backward and Forward] looking statements I'd say! I love watching this guy lift the curtain on the Wizard(s) and hearing him explain the deal(s) in layman's terms.
