Doctor’s beliefs come before patient health

Yet another rule allowing doctors to deny treatment
Yes, this is aimed at abortion, and yes, I know there are already rules allowing this bullshit. But it angers me every time it comes up. Doctors can decide what care you do and don’t get, but god forbid they make your little girl get vaccinated [...]

Auto BailOut: NO RULES!

Great…
The government wants the automakers reduce their debt load
by two-thirds via a debt for equity exchange with current bondholders
and get the United Auto Workers union to agree to wages and work rules
competitive with non-union plants operated by Asian auto manufacturers
by the end of next year.
In addition, the government is calling for GM and Chrysler to [...]

Campbell Brown to Obama:Answer the questions you agreed to wait to answer

So, I’m rapidly beginning to think Ms. Brown isn’t too bright.
Or, at least, she doesn’t have much to say.
Here’s a good example of her trying to turn something reasonable into something sinister.
In response to Obama refusing to answer questions about Blagojevich because Fitzgerald has asked him to wait a few days:
Mr. President-elect, this [...]

Clinton Foundation Took Money From Foreigners???? OH NO!!!

While I understand why the various sources of donations to the Clinton
Foundation have become relevant, I find the headline:
Foreigners gave millions to Clinton foundation: Donor list heavy with international business leaders and billionaires
to be somewhat accusitory in tone. Remember, the foundation’s goals are:

Baath coup?

Well,
we’ve certainly done a great job building an Iraqi government.
Figure that one of two things are happening here.
Either the accusations of returning the Baath party are true, or these
guys have just been taken in because they are in the way of someone.
I’m not sure which is worse, but there’s that ball we keep dropping.

Campbell Brown: Lets blame the law

Law To Protect Native American Tribes is ‘ridiculous’
Basically, a little boy who appears to be 1/8th Ojibwa was given up by
his mother (1/4 Ojibwa) and adopted by the Larson family 6 months ago.
The Ojibwa have sued and taken custody of the boy to put in Ojibwa Foster Care.
I don’t have much of an opinion on [...]

Paulson: Here’s the cash!

Thank
goodness we are listening to Paulson. He’s done so well so far.
“The automakers will get the money as quickly as we can
prudently do it,” Paulson said in interview on CNBC television. “We
need to do this but we need to do it right.

Cardboard into chocolate

Chocolating technology has come a long way. I bought these for the fiber (since I still don’t each enough veggies) but I would eat them regardless. They are TASTY!

Warren Ellis…

Warren Ellis » Conversations With My Daughter
“Ellis, I need new HOUSE DVDs.”
“Why do you like HOUSE, Lili? He’s just a grumpy old man, and you always tell me I’m a grumpy old man.”

“…shit.”
