Filed in National by on July 23, 2009 10 Comments

The Blue Dog Democrats coalition has raised more money than any other PAC in 2009. Somehow, coincidentally, the Blue Dogs are the ones holding up healthcare reform. I’m sure there’s no relationship.

Deep Quality of Life Thought:

Trees work. If anyone has been in Dover lately and seen the mature pin oaks that were planted 20 years ago, it is obvious that trees can have a huge impact on quality of life. (Photo stolen without permission from Mike Mahaffie’s flicker file.)

‘Non-Partisan’ Health Care Research Group Owned By…Health Insurance Company

Filed in National by on July 23, 2009 23 Comments

The Washington Post blows the whistle (and a hearty Tip of the Sombrero to Americablog for picking it up): The political battle over health-care reform is waged largely with numbers, and few number-crunchers have shaped the debate as much as the Lewin Group, a consulting firm whose research has been widely cited by opponents of […]

John Adams (R-OH) has re-introduced radical legislation that would prevent a woman from having an abortion until she gets written consent from the biological father.

Obama Calls It Like He Sees It

Filed in National by on July 23, 2009 5 Comments

Max Baucus of Montana, who WILL kill health care reform if enough of his Senate Democratic colleagues (including Tom Carper) allow him to. A […]
