Palin Finally Tells The Truth
Palin is revered by the non-thinkers, the anti-intellectuals, the Bible-thumpers who know not the meaning of Christianity, the hate-mongers and the teabaggers, and reviled by those of us with a conscience, with compassion for our fellow human beings, with a modicum of education and the minds to think for ourselves.
One Step Closer
It should come as a huge shock to realize that the United States of America stands alone as the only industrialized nation on the planet that doesn't consider health care to be a basic human right. The good ol' USA is the only first world country in the world in which a person can go bankrupt and lose everything he or she owns simply because he, she or a family member got sick. The United States of America, where compassion seems to be a very rare commodity.
The Palin Oprah Effect
Yes, I watched. Although I had many more things I probably would have enjoyed a whole lot more (a trip to the dentist, perhaps) than watch Sarah Palin in a softball interview by Oprah Winfrey, I knew today's kick-off of the book tour for the woman who couldn't be veep would be the topic of the day.
Massa: "No" Vote Was The Right Vote
Of the 57 progressives who signed a letter vowing to vote against any health care bill without a "robust" public option, only two lived up to their promise. Eric Massa, freshman Congressman from a conservative district in upstate NY is making a name for himself as a man of his convictions.
It Ain't Over Till It's Over
That's an indirect quote from Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who joins me tonight on Air America radio to talk about the reasons why he voted against HR 3962 on Saturday night, but continues to fight to bring real health care reform to the nation.
Reform...Or Not
There's a lot of good in the bill, but way too much bad. Most notably, the horrendous Stupak Amendment, which was introduced and passed in the eleventh hour, which sets women's reproductive rights back to the stone age.
