Don't think so Bobster, I am in for of the plan, I think it needs work so it doesn't cost the taxpayer more money ... I am uncertain how it will handle both illegals and other disenfranchised folks. Myself a national health care program like England or Canada makes a bit more sense and not a mandate purchase thingy. I also see the fat cat insurance people all waiting in the wings to hose everyone via loophole.

"Proud of your mooses, aren't you? "

We got moose (Moose is the plural according your so called Oxford so called English so called Dictionary) The Aussies got roos. Its a good idea to put em on the label when your country has pretty good PR.

That and the UNESCO requirement that if they don't put a small trace of ground up moose antler in it, they can't call it Canadian Whiskey. :-p

It's always comfortin' to look up the most extreme wacko views of yer opposition that ya can possibly find and laugh at 'em. I do that regular when it comes to specist humans. The next easy thing to do is just assume that everyone who disagrees with you is a droolin' idiot with totally wacko views, a complete moron, and then ya don't have to have any respect for 'em or listen at all to what they say or even wonder why they don't agree with you. Works great. Saves a lotta time you might waste tryin' to get along with other people and understand 'em. Yessir. And it helps when yer gonna fight a war with 'em too, because you won't regret killin' a bunch of extreme wackos and idiots, right?

Funny. I been noticin' this attitude on every indentifiable side of the political spectrum for quite some time now. Must be a lotta wackos out there, and practically no smart, reasonable people at all. Smart, reasonable people like ME, I mean... ;-D Oh, and like YOU, of course! The Chosen Few in the know.

At one time you could only get Canadian Club whisky from Canada, but there are all kinds of Canadian whiskies on sale in English supermarkets nowadays. Most of them have a moose's head on the bottle.

I don't know if this is Mitt's problem or his strength. But he is acting as if he can say anything he wants and people will not remember it. As a strategy it might not be so bad. I thought I had a pretty clear idea of what Obama was promising in 2008. Except for raising the tax rates on people making more that 250K per year, he has kept every promise. And he tried to explain that one. But still, some liberal friends of mine thought that he promised to end all wars. People like songwronger think he promised a public option for health care. What difference does it make what they promise if most people make up their mind on what they imagine they promised?


BTW, in Canadian whiskey and beer veritas!!!!!! Happy Canada Day!! Can you tell I have been celebrating?

According to Mitt's recent speech, he's planning on a replacement bill that will retain all the feature of Obamacare, except for the means of paying for them. Maybe he's inherited W's Tooth Fairy.

It will remove 30,000,000-plus folks from using our health care system and not paying for it... That's more than a start...

Here is the problem as I see it with all attempts to get a just system in place. Right now the biggest problem reported by the states is the folks that have no insurance cannot nor should be denied treatment. Since many many are illegal, any mandate will not affect that portion of the population and taxpayer burden will remain. However, it is a start but still needs some thought, me I will take an imperfect law that can be refined then none. Many portions are very good, companies should not hold that preexisting condition thing .. or drop you after one bad illness.

two things i left out.
I was in Atlanta that day.
He did not take any calls on the subject after mine.

Bortz is in Atlanta.


Sorry I don't remember the exact details.

I was listening one day and he asked a fairly simple question about economics and said something along the lines of "can one person, just one person call up and give a reason why the Administration would do this."

Seemed simple enough. I called up and got the producer. She asked why I called I said "he asked for one simple reason. Here it is. Again, I don't remember, but it was one sentence and easy to elaborate on. She said, "We'll put you on." he went on for another half hour, not taking calls asking for a reason while I composed counters to objections he might have and explanations for his questions. Then he changed the subject. Then after waiting about 15 more minutes I hung up.

If my experience is anything to go on, Bortz is better than average among con(servative) talk show hosts at pretending to be fair.

OK, we have a constitutional law. Good law? Remains to be seen. I worry that the greater part does not kick in until 2014.

I feel that we are all drifting down a lazy river on rafts, enjoying the trip on a pleasant summer afternoon. Suddenly somebody points out the beautiful rainbows ahead. We drift closer and closer to the beauty, until somebody notices the waterfall causing the rainbows and it is too late to do anything about it.

OK, I am a pessimist. It does come from Washington after all!

By the way. I have to congratulate a conservative local talk show host named Neil Bortz. One of his callers said quote "Them democrats don't know nothing". Neil hung up on the guy and said - "How do you expect me to listen to your opinion if you don't even know how to talk? Do you even know what you just said?"

Of course this is coming from the same guy that called President Obama an "asswipe".

Two of my favorite reactions:

Glenn Beck is now selling T-shirts with Justice Roberts face on it labeling him a "Coward"

Micheal Savage says that Roberts voted the way he did because he's an epileptic and his meds have made him unhinged.

They don't call Boner "The Weeper Of The House" for nothing. He's unstable, goes in for crying jags. Once again, the best & brightest the TeaPublicans can produce.

I've found it. It is apparently a legitimate photo, but taken the day before the verdict. I don't know what occasioned the snapshot - or the mood.

"The snap of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., seemed to say it all, about the emotions surrounding the Supreme Court's decision to uphold President Obama's health care law--even though the photo was taken the day before and had nothing to do with the health care news."


Maybe He's Just a Pouty Kind of Guy

I expect we've all seen yesterday's photo of Nancey Pelosi and John Boehner standing - supposedly together - after the verdict became known. It shows the joy of a hand-clapping Pelosi while Boehner is pouty, almost weepy, drop-jawed. It seems unlikely that he would have been that indiscreet in public. Was that picture photo-shopped or tweaked in some manner?
