The WE Media Conference is happening in Miami today and it looks to be a pretty cool event focusing on how communications in general can impact both economic models and social change.
An interesting piece in Kiplinger's about the National Federation of Independent Business and Divided We Fail that's worth checking out. The piece brings up a key argument in the health care reform discussion that cannot be overlooked, which is that even business recognizes there needs to be a…
Another night, another debate. And we're not hearing anything different than we have before. The same argument over the health care plans of Senators Clinton and Obama that we've heard since the first debate in South Carolina 10 months ago. Yawn.

AARP today announced it's 2008 legislative agenda and it includes some important stuff that lawmakers need to work on this year. You can read the whole thing, but I'll give you the Cliff Notes version. The big thing is modernizing and improving health care and containing costs by supporting things…
