Healthcare Crime

In Passing
 QOTD: There has been no legislation in forty-five years that gave away more free stuff to people who produce less than they consume, paid for by people who produce more than they consume.  TigerHawk

Roll Call: Nelson Blames Republican Governor for Health Care Compromise
"Nebraska voters are dumb farmers; they'll buy right into this"
The Democratic linchpin in a delicate Senate health care compromise said Sunday that special goodies for his constituents came at the behest of the state’s Republican governor.

A telling omission by Real Climate
It should be foremost on the minds of many that the RealClimate.org webserver domain is funded by Fenton Communications, an eco media group. Further, our tax dollars pay the salaries of people like Dr. Gavin Schmidt of NASA GISS who has been (according to several post and comment times noted) using his taxpayer paid time at work to participate in that blog.

“Tort reform” section of Reid health bill
The “tort reform” section of Senator Reid's substitute amendment is not merely meaningless, but is actually a significant giveaway to the trial lawyers.

A Whodunit: The $100 million mystery hospital
“If taxpayers are going to be expected to sign the check, Democrats should at least let them know who to make it out to.” (Pssst .. it went to help this guy save his seat)

Cash for Cloture: Demcare bribe list, Pt. II


Mark Steyn
You can't even dignify this squalid racket as bribery: If I try to buy a cop, I have to use my own money. But, when Harry Reid buys a senator, he uses my money, too. It doesn't "border on immoral": it drives straight through the frontier post and heads for the dark heartland of immoral.

U.S. reaching out to former foes in Iraq
Of course they are. Muqtada al-Sadr has always been a reasonable fellow.

Ed Schultz Admits MSNBC Serves as Mouthpiece for White House
Does that mean it isn't?

CNN: Sarah Palin's 'Death Panel' Comment Wins 'Lie of the Year'
Well, if PolitiFact says so ...

A clear picture of the Obama national security doctrine is emerging

For the moment, this doctrine appears to have three components; denial, threat minimization, and guilt. We should first believe that Muslims and Islamists do not share what they so obviously have in common; we should also accept bin Laden and al Qaeda as the only “core” issues; and, adding insult to injury, we must recognize that we Americans (and Jews) are two of the sources of Islamic jihad, terrorism, and the quest for kalifa.
