The whole debate over health care makes me shake my head. Horror stories are told on both sides but this one has to strike a cord in anyone reading it. In a statement issued yesterday after it had approved the transplant, the company said the procedure “was outside the scope of the plan’s coverage.” “… [...]
Just Stupid
AOL picks on the wrong end user
You’ve got Blackmail! Nice that AOL picks on a WSJ writer. Too bad that AOL is not already out of business.
RIAA successfully shakes down another victim
So Jammie Thomas’s verdict went from $222,000 to $1.92 million in her re-trial. I still think her “gremlins did it” defense was the height of stupidity but if anything, this verdict shows that the laws are seriously flawed. $80,000 per song? We should all create some music and sign up with the recording industry since [...]
The President went on a date, get over it
President Obama took his wife on a date Saturday and some people are going nuts. The RNC I can understand since they are the “ZOMG we lost, now what?!” party. But regular folks who are in arms about this need to get a life.
Bipartisanship is dead already
From a Fox news web article: Some Republicans believe President Obama killed any chance for bipartisanship when he opened the possibility of prosecution and a congressional investigation of Bush-era lawyers who authorized “enhanced” interrogation techniques on terror suspects. Possible Interrogation Probe Dashes Hopes for Bipartisanship Under Obama Now they say bipartisanship is dead? Remember children, [...]
8 mismanaged years and we still hear from Darth Cheney
I think I can sum up my reaction to the former torturer in chief: Go &^%# yourself Mr. Cheney.

It’s torture. Any sane person knows that, anyone with any decency won’t make an excuse. So why do Senate Republicans think “just following orders” is legitimate? That has not worked in the past.
Speaker Pelosi is such a politican
Except for continuing to be re-elected, Congresswoman Pelosi is a failure. But speaking on Fox News Sunday, Pelosi said she wants Congress to consider repealing tax cuts on those who make over $250,000 immediately and is pushing for a congressional investigation into whether the Bush administration illegally fired federal prosecutors two years ago. via Pelosi, [...]
Lillo Brancato gets 10 years
I listen to the radio more than I watch TV and I just heard the news. Brancato, who dodged the murder conviction given to his accomplice, Steven Armento, was sentenced by Bronx State Supreme Court Judge Martin Marcus to 10 years in prison for his role in the death of off-duty NYPD Officer Daniel Enchautegui [...]
Your tax dollars at work
Senator Reid may permit Roland Burris to be seated if Burris promised to bow, genuflect appropriately, and sign a statement etc., etc., etc.. I am sure that list will include Burris being told to kiss his ham. Sigh, this is pointless. While everyone can agree that Blagojevich is a low life, he is a low [...]
