• The Tea Party Is Dangerous: Dispelling 7 Myths That Help Us Avoid Reality About the New Right-Wing Politics

  Thu Jul 1, 2010
  • Chris Matthews made a good observation on Hardball last night. He said that simply bashing one's political opponent won't work because it takes away choice and people obviously like choice. Right now, the Tea Party gives conservatives a choice other than who is currently in office.

  • If you or one of your family members shows up at the ER in desperate need of emergency care and you don't have insurance, do you expect the hospital to treat you or not? No, I do not.

• Virginia approves bill banning mandated health care

  • I'm not sure if you were addressing this to me or not, but if so, you're barking up the wrong tree... Healthcare is not a right. If one chooses not to purchase insurance and not to pay for their care, then they absolutely shouldn't expect someone else's labor for free.

  • I think it is also important to note that they are not talking about passing the entire healthcare reform bill through reconciliation, which is how Republicans seem to be trying to frame it. As we know, the bills have already passed in both the House and the Senate.

• House Approves Removing Insurers' Antitrust Exemption

• Whale that killed trainer involved in other deaths

  • If a dog attacked and killed an infant, the dog would be euthanized. I'm not sure what the difference is here. There is a huge difference. A dog, as you well know, is a domesticated animal, while the orca is a wild animal.

• Whale that killed trainer involved in other deaths

  Wed Feb 24, 2010
  • Apparently this same orca also killed a trainer in 1991, so this is the third incident now. Seems to me like this should be strike three... not for the animal but for people being stupid and trying to keep a wild animal in captivity.
