Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?
The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

Sunday (Night) Sermon: Keith Olbermann
Have you been following the health care debates? Honestly, my non-insurance having ass has not been on top of it as my non-insurance having ass should be. I check up on the highlights whenever Obama twitters “Tell your Senators to pass this bill” and as much as I want to blindly follow my future hero but presently our nation’s POLITICAL leader, I find myself disagreeing more and more with the amendments and compromises made within this bill.
Am I becoming a Republican, or does requiring every U.S. citizen to buy into some form of health insurance at the consequence of a fine seem…I don’t know…un-American…unconstitutional…wrong? Is this what is necessary to ensure every American has health insurance? Should we and/or can we view the right to health care the same way we view the right to education? And if so, what happens to parents who refuse to send their kids to school?
PEOPLE, are futures are being decided for us right now. These are the questions we need to be asking. This is the subject we need to be discussing. Where do the people – and specifically, the young people, stand? And why do we stand there? What power do we have to shape this grand national issue?
Know what’s going on peoples. And check out Keith Olbermann breakdown the mockery of the democracy occurring right now on Capitol Hill with soulful writing and heartbreak in his voice. Part one is below. Peace and health, ya’ll.
