Tea party leader at Supreme Court rally: ‘Obamacare is a cancer!’
Tea party groups and Republican politicians rallied outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday, urging that the justices declare President Barack Obama’s health care reform law unconstitutional. Group leaders led chants of “Constitution, yes. Socialism, no” and “Real women buy their own birth control” while waiting for speakers to come to…
Public camps at U.S. high court for health hearing
A dozen people camped out in front of the US Supreme Courtovernight into Saturday to make sure they would get a first glimpse of a historic hearing into the president’s health reform law next week. About 50 seats have been reserved for the public in the courtroom to hear the Supreme Court’s…

The cost of health care will surpass the price of a median income household in the United States by 2033 if current trends continue, according to a study published in the March/April issue of Annals of Family Medicine.

Why are conservatives so obsessed with sex?
Because it makes the perfect wedge issue is why. Or, to be more thorough, this is something I’ve been thinking about ever since anti-choicers managed to get Komen to join in their crusade of shunning Planned Parenthood for what I’ve deemed below-the-belt health care.* The “breasts good/vaginas icky” divide that…

House raises taxes on people with health insurance, institutes death penalty for f*cking

A lot of Republicans ran on the promise of repealing health care reform, which only worked, of course, after telling their base that “health care reform” is basically code for “giving people you moved out of the city to get away from money so they can sit in the doctor’s…
It’s all the same culture war
Jonathan Martin and Ben Smith have an article up at Politico making the usual arguments about how Obama has managed to dodge one kind of culture war only to step into another. It’s the sort of thing that I believe misses the point, because it implies—incorrectly—that the hysterical right changes…
When your opponents have no compunction about lying….
You can’t do anything to appease their complaints. Stupak and company may have been satisfied by dunking Obama’s head in the toilet until they obtained a symbolic gesture of woman-hating from him that they and we know he doesn’t mean, but let’s face it. Those fools are useful idiots being…
