“Say, About That Appendix We Said We Removed…..”

Just another day under British government health blockage After weeks of excruciating pain, Mark Wattson was understandably relieved to have his appendix taken out.

Southern Governors Ask About ObamaCare Costs, Enter Underwear Gnome Episode

What does it say about a United States President and his administration that the best explanation for their ideas and plans can be explained by watching the South Park underwear gnome episode? Well, nothing good. Case in point Governors from across the South told President Barack Obama’s health care reform czar Monday they need to […]

The Point Of A Public Option Is To Create Competition?

Only in Liberal World, which is about as divorced from reality as Disney World is (but, without all the fun, laughter, and good times), could you get a quote like this (Senator Chucky) Schumer (D-NY) said that Obama isn’t backing away from the public option. “I believe at the end of the day we’ll have […]

Obama Advises Astroturf Brigade To Get Out There For ObamaCare

Racists. Fascists. Nazis. Mobs. Manufactured outrage. Dupes of Big Pharma. Completely fake. Astroturfed. Just a few of the words used against the people who are out there protesting against government run health system overhaul. Yet….. The outcome of the health-care debate weighed partially on Bird’s success (Jeremy Bird is deputy director of OFA), and on […]

IS ObamaCare Unconstitutional?

A young mother gave birth on a pavement outside a hospital after she was […]

Berserker Wednesday: Howard Dean And The Evil Ice Cream Man

It seems that every time Howard Dean shows up on the national stage, there is an impulse to tell him “dude, chill. You are losing you mind.” But, then, everyone reflects for a second or two and realizes that happened long ago. He’s like your Mom’s brother, who never got married and shows up every […]

President Sparky Hoses AARP, Helps Conservative Group

Hey, remember all the times Obama said that AARP has endorsed his health care plan (well, really, the Congressional Democrats health care plans, since Obama basically outsourced the whole thing to them)? Saying that “they were onboard,” despite the fact that, while they endorse health care reform to reduce costs (just like most of us do,) […]

Palin Wins On Death Panels For Fourth Time

‘Memba this from the Wall Street Journal last week? Palin Wins – If she’s dim and Obama is brilliant, how did he lose the argument to her? The first we heard about Sarah Palin’s “death panels” comment was in a conversation last Friday with an acquaintance who was appalled by it. Our interlocutor is not […]

Does Reading The Bill Really Matter?

USA Today makes a few interesting points There’s a growing movement at town hall meetings and online to make sure members of Congress read the entire health care reform bill before they vote on it, and to make it available to the public at least 72 hours before a vote. “Read the bill” is typically […]
