AIDS - 30 Years and Counting...
It may no longer be a death sentence, but it is still a problem. It is still a disease we haven't found a cure for. It is still an epidemic. If you are not playing safe, you are playing with the very people you love, the very people you call your friends and your family. Get tested regularly. If you got tested yesterday, do it again in a few months.
You may think that it is nowhere near you, but I advise you to take a look at this map. You can click on it to reach the interactive version, it is the most recent statistics of HIV across the United States. You can zoom into the county you live in, and find out how prevalent the disease is there. The map is actually quite creative. It was put together over a period of 14 years, and is currently being updated yearly. The map is also searchable by gender, ethnicity, and age. New York City and Washington D.C. are the cities most affected by the disease. But don't discount the rest of the country, look at the entire eastern seaboard, the bible belt, through the east of Texas.
AIDSVu has created the interactive map based on 2008 data from the CDC, but as I mentioned earlier, it is being updated annually - next year they will have 2009 data, and continue yearly, thereafter.

Doing Dumb Things With Our Smartphones
I think we've all done dumb things with our Smartphones, but who can explain it better than Geico? I'm still not sure if it beats the Geico piggy commercial - "weeeeeeee" LOL.
Politics 101: Individual Income Taxes vs. Corporate Income Taxes
And all along you thought things were fair. Really? Really? Think about it when you enter the voting booth next November. There is no better way of comparing Corporate Income Taxes vs. Our Income Taxes, than this chart. The statistics are taken from the Office of Management and Budget.
With a declining economy and unemployment still at a high 9.1 percent, if this country gets handed to the Republicans, you will see the Greatest Depression this country has ever seen, and our country turn into a third world country. You can laugh all you want, but it's true.
