ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN- A few months ago, swimmer Michael Phelps was largely considered to be the most annoying living human being on earth. Obnoxiously successful at the 2008 Summer Olympics due to years of intense, some say obsessive, training, Phelps became the very definition of “trying too hard.” Worse still, his grotesquely elongated face was everywhere- talk shows, sit-coms, and the occasional feminine hygiene product.

Obama terms the McCain plan “radical” — which is its main virtue. It goes to the root of the problem — a system that depends mainly on businesses to provide health coverage. Over the last few decades, the rising cost of health coverage to employers has eaten up pay increases, acting as a wage cap and leaving many incomes stagnant or falling. Business-based health coverage leaves many workers afraid to change jobs — a handicap in the constant employment Read the rest of this entry »

Looks like Michael should choose his friends more wisely. That was his biggest mistake. He’s an awesome athlete and still a good role model. Owning up to what happened and like one of the posters said, not hiding behind a bunch of lawyers, he’s an honorable young man!
Lea, Houston,
Michael is an incredible athlete, and an incredible human being. I am the mother of three 20-something children. They are wonderful, but have done some stupid things. Read the rest of this entry »
