Made my very first contact with teabaggers. Yeah! And that on the very first day in the US. I secretly hoping to see some but so soon…. nice! I was on my way to the CNN HQ and there they were holding up their signs.

But guys, come on .. Fox news? There is nothing news about it.

More teabaggers:

CNN HQ was fun and worth the $13 … next time I will do that VIP tour where you actually get to go inside the studio and newsroom. I was wondering if any CNN news editor has ever been on RGS.

Fucking GOD!

I don’t know why this is even a topic. American healthcare needs to be reformed! Point! That’s it! Nothing more. I mean, these huge health insurance corporations are making profit off your health.  They profit off your health. They don’t insure you if you’re sick and as soon as you become unprofitable, it’s over.  It’s evil.

To have the option of government healthcare is not a bad thing. And watching Americans scream about socialism frankly makes me sick. Most European countries have social healthcare and, I’m sorry, it’s a whole lot better than what the average American gets. In Spain, where we live, healthcare is universally available. Per capita spending on health care in Spain is much less than in the US. The hospitals are clean, the doctors are friendly. It’s not the Orwellian nightmare that these idiot “activists” have cooked up in their brains.  In Spain, POOR PEOPLE DON’T DIE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOMS AS THEY AWAIT CARE.  I’m sorry, there’s just no comparison.  People don’t go broke, because they can’t afford the ambulance which has been called to the scene.  It’s crazy.

I rarely get political on this blog, but this freaks me out. The Americans who would benefit most from healthcare seem to be the loudest against it.  It’s clear that they don’t even understand what they’re talking about.  They scream about “Government get your hands off my healthcare” and then a second later it’s, “Keep your hands off my Medicare”.  Insurance companies and the extremely rich people who run America have really managed to convince people that Obama wants to euthanize the elderly.  I mean, WTF.  People, open your eyes.

What got me going was watching these two videos. A perfect demonstration of the utter stupidity which is unfortunately gobbling up all the press at these town hall meetings:

*Update: Schumacher will be not racing the F1 in Valencia

For our German speaking readers: Tipps zum Michael Schumacher Rennen in Valencia

To be honest I’m not the biggest Formula 1 fan but I’m a pretty big fan of the City Valencia. So the news that Michael Schumacher will come back from his retirement ( since 2006) is like the greatest thing for Valencia and the Formula1. Since the will probably the most watched F1 race ever.

Ticket sales for the event have been down before the news but I bet every single ticket will be gone before the race.

You probably already well know that I currently live in Valencia, Spain, so in case you are planning to visit for the race and have questions don’t be shy to ask.

Also, we did a quick post on our Valencia Blog with some information: See Michael Schumacher in Valencia

Just wanted to share some great news with you and an awesome new world news resource.

Our Valencia Blog got approached by Global Post asking if they could resyndicate our content on their site. We said yes after doing some research and we think this site has potential.

You can find our content now on the Spanish section of Global Post.

This is so exciting – I didn’t know that the biggest lottery in the world is held here in Spain every year. Payout up to 3 billion dollar and 18 percent of all tickets win something.

We just got back from our little Election Tour 2008 to couple of poll stations and a Obama office out here in Kentucky and it was exciting and it really got me super excited. Couple of my readers might get kind of annoyed that I do personal posts right now but this day is just too important and it would be ignorant to pretend there is nothing going on and to continue just to post couple of fun gadgets and videos. And as a long term RGS reader you know that I do get personal on Random Good Stuff on topics which are important to me.

For example RGS already endorsed Obama 10 month ago. In that post I explain why I care so much about US politics. Now it’s finally election day (and it does totally feel like X-Mas) and I can’t wait for the results tonight.

Today I met a guy, he is a neighbor of Mike’s parents and he is republican but today he voted democrats all the way through.

Go Barack!

Couple of lines but none of them have been too bad.

We stopped by an Obama office. It was fun to talk to some Obama supporters.

Mike posing with Barack Obama – well kind of.

I want to see her pictures tomorrow in the New York Times.

EEEEK – So excited!

Because of you! And only you!
