Too Bad Ben Nelson Doesn’t Have to Claim His Health Care Bribe as a Campaign Contribution
Harry Reid finally got his 60th vote for his government-run health care bill late last night, which means that unless something changes drastically in the House of Representatives, we’re all in for a world of hurt the likes of which we’ve never seen. Ben Nelson, the Democrat who was gumming up the works finally found [...]
“Waaaaaaah!”, He Objected
If you’ve ever wondered what, exactly, is meant by the saying “Elections have consequences”, I give you the only explanation you will ever need: Senator Al Franken. Witness his latest petulant act as he denies Joe Lieberman, the left’s newest person to blame for why they can’t cram government-run health care down our throats, a [...]
Coburn Saves America; Dems Cheat Their Faces Off
Yesterday was a fun day to follow the health care debate in the Senate. Upset that his dream of a totalitarian system was spiraling down the drain, avowed socialist Senator Bernie Sanders submitted a massive amendment to turn our entire health care into a single-payer nightmare of bureaucracy, shortage, and squalor. Kind of like the [...]
Apparently, the Government Has a “Poke ‘em and Pray” Policy for Vaccinations
Color me surprised that a giant government effort to forestall a nonexistent crisis, hastily-conceived and implemented without credible oversight, is throwing out sizeable errors. Vaccine maker Sanofi-Aventis SA…is recalling four lots of its pediatric H1N1 swine flu vaccine because it is not as potent as it should be, U.S. officials said on Tuesday. There is no [...]
What, They Couldn’t Wheel Byrd In for That?
From Jonah Goldberg, I see that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took a few seconds to advance the cause of bipartisanship today: “When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today.” It’s a shame [...]
Want to Your Claim to Bounce? Try Government-Run Health Care!
One of the most persistent memes the left uses in its government-run sales pitch is that even if government-run health care will lead to longer waits for health care, at least it won’t reject claim down like those evil (i.e. money-grubbing) private insurance companies. Well, guess what? Mark Hemingway found that the AMA, which actually [...]
Pray that You Never Get Michelle Malkin’s Undivided Journalistic Attention.
You may have heard of Nick Kristof, two time Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the estimable — nay, legendary! — New York Times. He’s hobnobbed with the rich and famous and written books and now holds the title as author of the slimiest piece of propaganda passed off as journalism I’ve ever read. Kristof’s affront to [...]
Who Likes Our Health Care System? Almost Everyone!
Guess what’s making a huge comeback despite Democratic attempts to run it into the ground? No, not George Bush. I’m talking about the US healthcare system. I guess I shouldn’t say “despite” when “because” seems a lot more appropriate. The 20-point comeback seems to coincide rather well with the progressive full-court press to denigrate our [...]
