Phony Fruits in the Obama White House Garden
Well, of course. They’ve stocked health care town halls with partisan goons and benefactors. They’ve provided lab coats to doctor donors to make their health care lobbying look more authentic. And they’ve treated soldiers, in President Obama’s own words, as “pretty good photo ops.”

Martha Coakley is such an arrogant elitist that words escape me.

But most recounts of this interview seem to emphasize her comment that "You can have religious freedom, but you probably shouldn't work in an emergency room." While that comment is offensive, what she said just prior to that is even worse.

In response to Pittman saying that people still have religious freedom in the emergency room, she said "The law says that people are allowed to have that."

Excuse me? The law allows us to have freedom of religion? I'm sorry Ms. Coakley, but our freedoms do not come from government--or their laws--they are endowed by our Creator. I seem to recall reading that somewhere.

Things are really bad when the Democrat donkey needs the help of the Humane Society. The big question is whether it's kinder to rehabilitate or euthanize. I vote euthanization.

A UK company bought Segway?

They will put electronic parts made by Lucas in it, and they will never work again.
