The New York Times is reporting that the Senate bill will result in much higher premiums. One example is a family of 4 earning $54,000 in 2016. They would be elligible for a $10,100 subsidy under the new system, but if they buy into the most popular federal plan then the monthly premiums would be […]
Image via Wikipedia Good news from the Senate on the healthcare front: WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Blanche Lincoln says she’ll vote ‘yes’ on health care test vote, giving Democrats 60. This morning Mary Landrieu said she would also vote yes today. Tonight’s the big vote, so keep an ear out. Things will get really interesting and […]
Sick, sick bastard: The only rapist here is Beck – raping whatever decency there is left in America.
Today’s New York Times has an interesting article about a 22 year old girl in Britain who was texting while driving and ended up killing a 24 year old girl.

If they do then tomorrow the Republican House leadership must denounce and censor Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina who decided to shout “you lie” to the President tonight. I can not remember something like this happening in recent history when a sitting president addressed a joint session of Congress. This guy has no shown […]
It seems that Max Baucus decided to distribute his plan to special interests groups before he even let the White House see it. This man isn’t working for the American people, he is working for his own financial gain. The Democrats should fully remove him from the health care talks. If he is allowed to […]
Last night Keith Olbermann and Eugene Robinson discussed that very possibility. I believe this pivots on exactly how much President Obama caves to the right. If he totally caves, then the possibility of this is very high. If that happens it wouldn’t shock me to see Hillary resign as Secretary of State and run against […]
As Bob points out, it’s because the people in the media are: It’s no wonder why people are confused about this stuff.
