Castle to Uninsured: Die Quickly (and forces women to buy abortion insurance separately)
Mike Castle voted to prevent private insurers from covering abortions if they receive public subsidies. Under the Stupid Stupak Amendment, women would have to buy abortion “riders” from their insurers separately. Since many women are insured through their husband’s employer (especially those who choose to be stay-at-home mothers, and let’s not forget college students insured […]
Understanding the Election
1. GOP picks up VA-Gov – Conservative Democrat loses to Conservative Republican. A Democrat cannot win Virginia by promising to block health care reform. A win for conservatives, but not much impact to progressives. 2. GOP picks up NJ-Gov – much more serious loss. It shows that the GOP can win in the Northeast by […]
Carper Sells Out To Drug Companies
From a Booman Tribune post entitled, “For Shame, Tom Carper”, comes this gem (bold text added by me): In any case, there are people who qualify for Medicaid because they have a low income. And there are people who qualify for Medicare because they are 65 years-old. Then there are people who qualify for both, […]
Eagles Open Thread
Post your predictions, thoughts, and reactions. Will Kevin Kolb make Jason Scott miss “No heart chump” McNabb? Will we see Jeff Garcia on the field? Will the brutal Eagles defence be able to contain Drew Brees, the best QB in football last year who threw 6 touchdowns last week?
Glenn Beck’s biggest remaining adventiser: “Male Enhancement”
Glenn Beck’s special brand of frothing, crying, apocalyptic, “Obama is a racist!” hysteria has driven all of Beck’s larger advertisers away, thanks to an awareness campaign from ColorOfChange.org. So who’s left? The jokes write themselves. Now we know why Beck viewers feel the need to brag about their powerful handguns. The rest of the list? […]
Tom Carper’s Office: Public Option is a Fall Back?
So what is Tom Carper’s position on Public Option Health Care? A friend of mine just called up Senator Carper’s office, and inquired whether Carper (who claims that he “doesn’t oppose” the public option, a weaselly double-negative) would support a public option plan that was “available on day one”. Why is this important? In the […]
Late Night Video: Awkward Rap
From the Elegant Too, a rap about awkward situations. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPeTfeFALk[/youtube] if you say, “how are you?”, i’ll say, “not much.”
Virginia Gov. race update – McDonnell too conservative for George Allen
A few more highlights from WaPo’s article on Bob McDonnell – apparently McDonnell is too much of a theocon for racist former Governor and Senator George “Macaca” Allen: Republican friends who support McDonnell’s campaign for governor acknowledge parting ways with some of his more conservative views. Former governor and U.S. senator George Allen said he […]
GOP Gov nominee in Virginia opposed contraception
AG Bob McDonnell, the GOP’s nominee for the ’09 Governor’s race in Virginia, is currently enjoying a modest lead in the polls; but what are Virginia voters going to make of this? At age 34, two years before his first election and two decades before he would run for governor of Virginia, Robert F. McDonnell […]

Who do you think should run for the open Senate seat in 2010? Democrats, Republicans, Independents – tell us your picks.
The lie, and the liars
The lie: That any proposal currently before congress contains funding for “death panels” that kill patients against their will. The truth: Your doctor can be reimbursed for helping you make a living will – in which you can declare “I insist that no one ever pull the plug on me for any reason whatsoever until […]
The GOP plot to kill senior citizens
How do you know what the wingnuts are plotting? Easy – anything they accuse others of doing. Remember when Jonah Goldberg, after years of “you’re either with us or you’re a terrorist sympathizer”, started talking about “Liberal Fascism”? Remember how the party that tried to force an extremist religious viewpoint on America started talking about how […]
