Happy Monday everyone.\u00a0 Sean here, with the “I<\/em>” news team bringing you a few under-reported items from last week.\u00a0 Stay tuned for the I<\/em>nspirational, the I<\/em>nscrutable and the I<\/em>ndefensible.\u00a0 You decide if any of it is I<\/em>ndispensable.<\/p>\n

The I<\/em>nspirational:<\/strong>
\nJames Krenov died last week<\/a>.\u00a0 He was an artist, writer and philosopher who left an indelible mark upon this world.\u00a0 You may not know him, but you have most likely seen the influences of his work in your work.\u00a0 He was a creator of sublime furniture and leader of one of the most highly regarded woodworking schools in the nation<\/a> (if not the world).\u00a0 Take a moment from your busy day to click here<\/a> and enjoy a little beauty.<\/p>\n

The I<\/em>nscrutable:<\/strong>
\nFootball season is underway and those wacky kids running the NFL are at it again.\u00a0 Texas receivers Andre Johnson & Jacoby Jones were fined<\/a> $7500 & $5000 respectively for their roles in a fight during a game last week.\u00a0 In related news, Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown was fined<\/a> $10,000 for wearing a Halloween mask to pre-game introductions.\u00a0 Apparently, the NFL feels that a little embarrassing publicity by one player is twice as offensive as the violent offenses of two players… They do say image<\/em> is everything.<\/p>\n

The I<\/em>ndecent, I<\/em>ncredible & I<\/em>ndefensible:<\/strong>
\nThe increasingly authoritarian nature of our Federal government continues unabated.\u00a0 It is becoming widely understood that the Neo-Progressives bridle under scrutiny and brook no criticism; but this is outrageous even for them.\u00a0 It seems the U.S. government is now sending threatening letters of warning<\/a> to private companies who have the temerity to disagree with the administration’s proposals.<\/p>\n

Humana Healthcare notified its customers that proposed health care plans before congress could reduce their benefits.\u00a0 This, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, is simply a matter of fact.\u00a0 The Department of Health & Human Services then sent a letter to Humana as well as all the other private<\/em><\/strong> insurance providers of the Medicare Advantage programs essentially saying: “Shut-up… or else.”\u00a0 Click here<\/a> to read all the gruesome details of central power run amok.<\/p>\n
