The Imminent Demise of Private Health Care
Insurance
Under the Senate proposals, the government would regulate not only
insurance products, but also the marketing of insurance and sales
commissions paid to insurance agents and brokers.
[This
is but one maneuver in Obama's Blitzkrieg attack on the West. As
one wag, prolly me, put it during the Clinton years, "There's so much
crime going on that crime isn't anymore." Same deal.

Limiting Internet news access via copyright infringements
WaPo’s Bruce W. Sanford and Bruce D. Brown - a couple of legal
eagles specializing in media and 1st Amendment issues - have come up
with some legislative suggestions to aid the struggling media. Most of
it entails kneecapping their Internet competition.
They start out by applauding the proposed media bailout I posted on late March. Then the piling on begins.
[I
was active on Free Republic when the WaPost and LA Times mounted a
court challenge to our posting entire articles, a practice that, oddly
enough, the New York Times allowed as beneficial. The court came
down largely on the side of the newspapers, but with a "Fair Use"
allowance for a few
paragraphs. As a result, Jim Robinson was forced to delete
thousands of posts, and with them much of my archived work.
What they're proposing here is complete internet control of "the
message." Which of course is the mother's milk of all oppressive
regimes. ]

- Wilkerson’s second war on Cheney
Lawrence Wilkerson picks up
where he left off on his previously waged war on Cheney back in 2005 -
not long after his boss, Colin Powell, was politely asked to resign,
and Ret. Col. Wilkerson followed suit.
[Who gives a rat's ass on this one? It smacks of Gary Sick, the ex National Security Council staffer under Presidents Ford, Carter, and Reagan,
whose tortured refusal to accept his own complicity in Carter's failed
Iran policy sent him to tilting at Reagan and Bush for the so-called
"October Surprise." Wilkerson worked for Powell, same difference.]
