A damned cool list. Check it out and argue amongst yourselves.

Daily Kos: The Real Death Panels: Insurers Deny 22% of Claims
So….if you, like most Rethugs, support the insurance companies, you must be fine with a 22% chance of failure in getting your medical care paid for.
If we were in school, that would give you a 78, which is a C, and possibly a D in some districts.
For all their talk of American exceptionalism, Republicans are hunky-dory with a C-class medical insurance system. Yelling “We’re Number One” doesn’t make it so, as we increasingly are finding out.
Well, those of us who aren’t Republicans.
Not entirely related but more proof of anti-reform stupidity and hypocrisy:
Lastly, some words for Robert Reich on what the President should say in next Wednesday’s speech.
Not that he will.
Page F30: What Russia really looks like
Another great geography post. This one tackles how population dispersion – or the lack of it – may be a more realistic look at how we view some nations.
Good Point
How long did it take the right to go from: “if you criticize the President you are a traitor” to “School children should not trust the President.”
Matt Osborne: Glenn Beck’s Two Week Video Mystery Solved
This really disturbs me. As a child, I was raised to have respect for presidents. As a parent, I enforced respect for the office on my own child even in the worst years of the Bush administration.
But now that a black man holds the office, tinfoil-hat lunatics say children should not learn to respect presidents, nor should presidents encourage them to succeed. It’s an incredible hypocrisy.
Yeah, that’s right folks. Glenn Beck and his Legion of Mouth Breathers fear that armed mobs of step dancers will take the country from them.
This guy gets on the TV and radio and whispers treason and his greatest fear are dancing black teenagers who want to be doctors and lawyers.
Actually, given the inherent racism of the GOP, minority professionals probably ARE their biggest fear.
Another good point about Republicans
What confuses me is that if ignorance is bliss, why are these people so angry?

Cheney, Bush helped al-Qaida regroup – Las Vegas Sun
“I’m sure another attack is being planned. If and when it happens, I hope the people will remember that Bush and Cheney had our enemy in their gun sights and then turned their weapons in a different direction.”
I love this letter to the editor in the Sun.
Every time you hear Cheney being given a verbal hand job by a FAUXNews “reporter”, remember that he got about 5,000 US servicemen and -women killed by taking our nation’s eyes off the ball in Afghanistan. Bin Laden is alive today because of Dick Cheney and his Dick-loving followers.
Bob Cesca: The Public Option is Popular, Moral and Inexpensive, Therefore it Must Die
Bob reminds us that not only do most people want a public option, it is also $400 billion CHEAPER than anything else on the table.
And yeah, count me in if the plan survives as a genuine competitor to the foul plan I currently have.
Griper Blade: The Flawlessness of the GOP Officeholder
A great article on the inability of Republicans in general to admit they could ever be wrong.
And the hatred and failed consequences of letting these idiots get anywhere close to the levers of power in this country.
Inhofe: “Hope This Country Can Hang On Another 16 Months” | TPMDC
At some point, Obama is gonna have to stop being a nice guy and start putting traitors like Jim Inhofe in a re-education camp.
I mean, hell, the Rethugs already believe such things exist. Why not prove them correct on something. For once.
This is the same assclown joining the “let’s have a revolution” crowd in recent days.
Look, you guys lost an election. Badly. It happens. You don’t get to burn down the country because the voters decided we didn’t need a Luddite Talibangelical theocracy. Get your crap together, form cogent sentences with actual ideas and maybe you get another chance in a future election. That’s how democracy works.
Then again, Christianity was supposed to be about loving thy neighbor and living righteously and see what you perverts and bigots have done with that.
