When life resembles The Onion
For those of us who’ve been pushing back against anti-vaccination hysteria—most of it coming from the left—I think there’s an inevitable sense that the whole anti-vaccination thing is so nutty that it’s inevitable that it’s going to be picked up by the right wing, the home of most nutty conspiracy…
NC’s Foxx: health care reform is a bigger threat than any terrorist
Yes, the woman who represents the 5th District (Winston-Salem, Mt. Airy) in my state is completely batsh*t insane. And she has a safe seat, sadly. You might recall that Foxx is the windbag who declared that the hate crime killing of Matthew Shepard was a hoax. She usually follows the…
House bill released
To no one’s great surprise, the House bill for health care reform includes a public option. When Nancy Pelosi says something is non-negotiable, you’d better believe her. In general, the bill is exactly what most of us thought it would be. The big thing is the Health Insurance Exchange that…
It’s time to put the insurance companies out of their misery
If I were on trial for robbing a house, the last thing in the world I would do is give a series of public lectures on cat burglary techniques. “I’m completely innocent,” I’d say, as the sample lock clicked open. “I’ve lived a clean life. Any questions about the order…
Calvinball bipartisanship
Salon used this picture to illustrate the ridiculousness of trying to reach some sort of bipartisan compromise on health care reform. Obviously, that’s Olympia Snowe, whose tepid endorsement of the insurance company giveaway called the Baucus bill doesn’t even insure a yes vote on the floor when a final bill…
And that’s why they invented the word ‘systemic’
From litbrit, here’s the softer, more liberal version of the “there is no such thing as racism anymore shuddup” whining: admit that there’s still racism, deny that it’s a legitimate problem. litbrit handles it well, but I want to address a very specific thing I see cropping up over and…
Stupid on purpose
The War Room examines Bill O’Reilly’s flip-flop on the public option. Apparently, one minute O’Reilly was saying that sounded like a good idea, and then he flipped around and got back on the approved script of calling it socialism and other such muckety-muck. I agree with Alex at the War…
Health care reform and domestic violence
Thanks to blogger spork_incident for bringing this to my attention. According to a press release for SEIU, 9 states allow insurance companies to consider domestic violence a pre-existing condition, and use that to deny insurance claims. Eight of the 16 major insurance companies have used this right to deny coverage…
Keith Olbermann KOs Joe ‘YOU LIE’ Wilson in Special Comment
KO let Wilson and the GOP have it in his Special Comment (transcript via C&L): And finally, as promised, a Special Comment about the shout of “You Lie” during the presidential address to the joint session of Congress last night on the matter of health care reform. The 43rd president…
Obama Of The Dead
Dude A gets assaulted by Dude B. Dude A, during the scuffle, bites Dude B’s finger off. A witness from the scene says a man was walking through the anti-reform group to get to the pro-reform side when he got into an altercation with the 65-year-old, who opposes health care…
