Op-Ed Columnist – Boy, Oh, Boy – NYTimes.com

Just to follow up on my last post, Maureen Dowd’s most recent editorial adds to the “GOP are racists” debate.

One of my co-workers posted something about resurgent McCarthyism on Facebook this week and one of our other co-workers basically railed against “Socialists who hate our Republic” and other assorted shit she probably learned from Glenn Beck’s knee. I shot back with a comment or two and then she assails us all as the “usual suspects” who have “no respect” for others. You know, because calling someone a traitor demands respect given in return or something.

I’m getting really tired of these hypocrites.

The Seminal » Big Insurance Defines Abuse as a Pre-Existing Condition

Do you still like your insurance company?

It takes people who lack a moral compass to justify nine figure salaries while denying cancer patients care because they failed to disclose previous bouts of acne. It is no surprise that insurance executives, who are always busy chasing after the next five figure bonus, are coming up with a novel way to deny people access to medical care: labeling survivors of domestic violence as “individuals with pre-existing conditions.”

Teabagger Math

This will give you a nice visual as to the difference between 70,000 angry, racist, treasonous hypocrites and an imaginary group of 2 million groups of said incestuous mouthbreathers.

Along with “intelligent design”, hatred of science, fear of biology, and disdain for literacy, yet more proof that you can’t trust Republicans with education. They can’t even do math for shit.

Poll Finds Most Doctors Support Public Option : NPR

Patients wants health care reform and, prior to the usual fearmongering, over 70% wanted a public option.

But hey, even doctors overwhelmingly support a public plan.

But the insurance company-purchased politicians want to bury the public option from their watered down plans. Do your part to let your representatives know to not only keep it in, but to actively support it.
