I was forced to listen to CNN at the airport the other day and saw a propoganda piece complaining that our current health care system isn’t just inefficient, it’s racist! Racism seems to be the next wedge issue to push this health care plan forward. The gist of the argument is that Medicaid pays less than regular insurance, so minorities get inferior treatment. So the solution is for all of us to get on Medicaid and we would all equally receive inferior treatment?
So why would Pelosi want an “evil” industry of “villains” to live?
Oh, wait……
But REALLY, if you like your current insurer (after we’ve forced them to double your premiums) you can keep them. Or, you can join the public plan, which you’re already paying half of anyway.
Why don’t we have a worldwide single-payer system? And Nancy Pelosi could be in charge of rationing guidelines. Come on, it would cut costs and improve service!?
Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi (my hero) bracing for the worst ahead of verdict
Yangon: Myanmar’s detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is bracing “for the worst” ahead of the verdict in her high-profile trial, gathering medicine and books to prepare for a feared prison term.
Nyan Win, one of Suu Kyi’s lawyers, said Thursday the frail 64-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner was “physically and mentally fine, and very alert.”
He said, “She is getting ready for any result. She is preparing for the worst.”
Suu Kyi is charged with violating the terms of her long house arrest when an American intruder swam across a lake and spent two nights at her home in early May. She faces a minimum of three years and maximum of five years in prison.
Suu Kyi’s trial has drawn international condemnation. The verdict will be announced Friday.

Isn’t Nancy past due for her end-of-life counseling session? She’s looking frazzled and sounding irrational.

She does seem to be losing it. Her kerfuffle earlier this year with the CIA was totally unnecessary. Now this.
Some people simply cannot handle power very well.

Please please please leave Nancy in charge until the elections roll around.
If we’re really lucky she’ll stay on as the minority leader for ’12.

The three suds studs are about to meet at the WH….if you have a chance to buy Red Stripe, I recommend purchasing the Jamaican import brand.

“…working to kill a plan to create a new government-run health plan.”
Uh, I thought they were claiming it wasn’t a government-run plan?

Looks like Nancy’s borrowing a page from the Rom-bot playbook.

#7, Suu Kyi is a wonderful woman. I hope she does not get treated too badly.
