An opposing view
squashed:
Jeff Miller has a response to my last post criticizing Huckabee’s distortion of the contents of the healthcare bill. I will repost it in full, because it’s the first intelligent criticism of its type that I have seen. This is not to say I agree with it.
I wrote:
Now Huckabee is saying that under the Healthcare Reform bill, Ted Kennedy would have been told to go home, take pain...

I hate applying for jobs
dtron:
If I don’t get a job at the gardens or the library or working at salvation army and have to instead find a job that has me working behind a desk I am going to hate life just a little bit more. Of course I can do corporate and do it quite well but it sucks and I want nothing to do with it.
UGH.

If the Democrats call it KennedyCare
pantsblog:
The Republicans should counter with LincolnCare—because Lincoln didn’t need any fucking health insurance. And if you oppose it you hate black people and lover slavery.
That would require Republicans to actually, not in a fake news conference way pretty picture 20 page handout with statements like “reform heath care to save money,” but actually decide what they would do...

Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the only senator to have served longer than the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), mourned his friend Wednesday, saying his “heart and soul weeps.”
Byrd said he hoped healthcare reform legislation in the Senate would be renamed in memoriam of Kennedy.
“I had hoped and prayed that this day would never come,” Byrd said in a statement. “My...

I have a few ideas of my own:
1. Young people tend to be more liberal (when they’re younger), and get more conservative as they … well, let’s say, become “more experienced.” I believe It was Winston Churchill who said “If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you’re not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”

Writing for the conservative think-tank, the American Enterprise, Ryan Streeter seems genuinely puzzled on why the younger generation isn’t racing to oppose healthcare reform. Afterall, we like “choice” and “the Obama plan … reduces the role of individual choice.” He offers a few possible options, but would bet that “that the details of intelligent healthcare reform—namely, reform that...
Townhall
CRAP! I need a question to ask at the Jim Moran/Howard Dean townhall. Give me a quesiton?

Come on. Every president eventually is criticized by the media – even one as “transcendent” as Obama. The President’s supporters should engage his critics with facts, not charges of racism.

Inglourious Basterds was awesome *Spoiler*
All the reviewers that said it wasn’t can seriously eat a big bag of peen. Even Brad Pitt was cool, which is huge because I usually thinks he sucks.

Really. Funnily enough, I thought John Walker Lindh (was? is?) kinda hot too.

Nah, Lindh is a wimp, I can’t stand the thought. Lindh probably cries all the time.
Yeah, no contest.
