Oh if only every doctor went into practice to help people (like this doctor here) instead of just as a way to learn stuff so they can make piles of cash and bang pharmaceutical salespeople.

This is how American heroes are made. We don’t yearn for blood and glory, but we never shy away from it when the chips are down.

Now someone give this guy a break and let him live his life. He’s earned it.

The 2010 series of Reith Lectures are some of the brightest discussions I’ve ever heard. Give them and some of the others a listen.

Hey look! Someone has done a rational discussion on immigration without a bunch of hotheaded BS.

Seriously, it does a good job of presenting the reality on the ground of the issues. I shouldn’t have to be surprised at this. This should be the norm.

Obama went to visit the House GOP members today, and they played silly politics while he did his job. He took them on and make them look foolish, so much so that FAUXNews stopped airing the discussion 20 minutes before it ended.

This is what I voted for.

This is what an American President looks like confronting the racists, bigots, do-nothings, and traitors who live only to oppose him.

Damn good job Mr. President.

Meanwhile, one-sixth of our population is without health insurance, and Republicans have decided that defeating Mr. Obama is more important than the welfare of 50 million Americans: Let them die and decrease the surplus population and be quick about it.

Garrison Keillor still has some fight in him. Good man. Here is his assessment on the true face of the GOP.

We need more voices calling out the Republicans for being the opportunistic cretins they are.

This nation is really going to miss John Paul Stevens when he finally retires from the bench. Not that the Talibangelicals will realize it, but seeing as thier justices just sold us out to China, they might look back on him differently.

Here is a good article on him and his thoughts on recent decisions by the Court.

David Plouffe is back and he’s brought a large dose of common sense to the discussion.

Hopefully people will listen.

Roger Ebert continues to impress me.

Haiti has lost untold thousands of lives. One third of the population has lost its homes. Countless people are still buried in the rubble. Every American president would act quickly to help our neighbor. You are so cynical and heartless as to explain Obama’s action in a way that unpleasantly suggests how your mind works.

You have a sizable listening audience. You apparently know how to please them. Anybody given a $400 million contract must know what he is doing.

That’s what offends me. You know exactly what you’re doing.
