Majority Leader Offers Support For Public Option Through Reconciliation
Guess who grew some balls
Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) announced on Friday afternoon that he would work with other Democrats and the White House to pass a public option through reconciliation if that's the legislative path the party chooses.
"Senator Reid has always and continues to support the public option as a way to drive down costs and create competition," said Reid aide Rodell Mollineau in a statement provided to the Huffington Post. "That is why he included the measure in his original health care proposal. If a decision is made to use reconciliation to advance health care, Senator Reid will work with the White House, the House, and members of his caucus in an effort to craft a public option that can overcome procedural obstacles and secure enough votes."
This represents a major breakthrough for those Senators and activists who are pushing to get a public option considered via an up or down vote.

Friends didn't see pilot's passion for IRS feud
The opposite of a real man
AUSTIN, Texas – Joe Stack felt the federal government — especially its tax code — robbed him of his savings and destroyed his career while allowing corrupt executives to walk away with millions.
It's clear from the 3,000-word manifesto posted on a Web site registered in his name that the bitter feud with the Internal Revenue Service was his passion — one so deeply held it apparently drove him to commit suicide Thursday by slamming his single-engine Piper PA-28 into an Austin office building that houses the IRS.
"Nothing changes unless there is a body count," Stack wrote.
It was a passion some of Stack's friends say they never saw.
They knew Stack as a fellow country rocker and band mate who recorded with them in Austin's vibrant music scene. They recalled a quiet father who visited Norway every year to visit a daughter and grandchildren. They never heard Stack talk about politics, about taxes, about the government — the sources of pain Stack claims drove him to his death.
"I read the letter that he wrote. It sounded like his voice but the things he said I had never heard him say," said Pam Parker, an Austin attorney whose husband was one of Stack's band mates.

7 Pregnant Athletes
Ooops, we can explain
From Huffington Post:
Kristie Moore is a member of the Canadian curling team at the Vancouver Olympics. While competing in the Olympics is already quite an achievement, Moore is a particularly unusual athlete: she is playing in the Olympics while pregnant. Amazingly, she's not the first Olympian to compete pregnant. Scroll down to see other pregnant competitors -- both at the Olympics and in other sports.

Wall Street shrugs off Fed move
Is that all you got Fed? Come on, raise the rates some more, we dare you
The attempt by the 11-month risky asset bull run to navigate an inevitable hurdle got off to an inauspicious start on Friday.
Stocks and commodities stumbled in Asian trading and the dollar found favour after traders were caught off guard by the US Federal Reserve’s announcement that it would raise the discount rate it charged banks.
However, a more stoic response from New York traders saw Wall Street reverse early losses and hit a four week high.

TIGER SPEAKS
Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words. It will come from my behavior over time.
...
What we say to each other will remain between the two of us. I am also aware of the pain my behavior has caused to those of you in this room. I have let you down. And I have let down my fans.
...
I have let you down personally and professionally.
...
Elin never hit me that night or any other night. There has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage. Ever. Elin has shown enormous grace and poise throughout this ordeal. Elin deserves praise, not blame.
...
I convinced myself that normal rules didn't apply.

Life Expectancy Up, but So Is Poor Health
You can now have a baby, change its diapers and then live long enough for both of you to live until a very old age and have your diapers changed together.
Life expectancy is up, but so is poor health, even though personal health care cost each American $6,219.
That's just a small taste of the 574 pages of data today served up in the CDC's 33rd annual "State of the Nation" report on U.S. health.
