Remember how health care reform is saving us money?
Lawmakers cancel $1 billion of that "savings" already.
And that's for a bill that just lasts one month.

We already have "free lunch" programs for the poor here in Ohio... but this part:
I only hope hundreds of millions of dollars are spent enforcing this new legislation.

Is it still true that prisons are required to buy a better grade of food than schools are?

Hollywood is getting sick of him.
Gosh, Gene, about half of the country already knew that before he got elected. People were touting his experience as a "community organizer..." remember that? He is qualified for the Oval Office because he was a "community organizer" for a while. Christ.

"I voted because the man that was running was a moment in history. I--in the back of my mind I wanted to show the world that America, the land of slaves...the land that tortured its black population for hundreds of years is also the place of hope that can give an African American the chance to lead the most powerful place on the face of the planet. However, if you take a look at the resume, you couldn't find somebody--in retrospect--more unqualified." on CNN's "Parker/Spitzer" this month.

I wanted to show the world that America, the land of slaves.
He really, really needs to take a world history class.
The U.S. didn't invent slavery.
The U.S. didn't bring slaves here without help from others.
The U.S. wasn't the last place on Earth with slavery.
I don't want to do numbers because I think it'd be impossible to measure, but I'd bet the U.S. didn't have more slaves than other parts of the world.
Calling the U.S. "the land of the slaves" is like calling South Korea "the land of the automaker." It'd be more appropriate to call South Korea "the reason Starcraft 2 was made."

The vast vast majority of slaves were sold to the shippers by other Africans, and shipped to the south by northern merchants. But that's conveniently forgotten by people like this.

The Arab-run African slave trade lasted up until, oh, wait, it's still going on.
North African muslims enslaved quite a few Europeans, too.

Congress wouldn't pass cap and trade, so Obama is enacting it personally with the EPA.

Stymied in Congress, the Obama administration is moving unilaterally to clamp down on power plant and oil refinery greenhouse emissions, announcing plans for developing new standards over the next year.
In a statement posted on the agency's website late Thursday, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson said the aim was to better cope with pollution contributing to climate change.

I have no idea what the political beliefs are of the gents who run Penny-Arcade. I go there for random gaming news and the occasional adult language filled gaming comic.
This particular comic had me wondering what their political beliefs are though, mainly because I want to know if they're serious or if this is satire? I mean, Obama supporters are aware that the MSM and the DNC blamed Bush for, literally, everything they could and are still doing so, right?

I can't even keep their names straight, but from what I can tell, the dude that draws the comics (Gabe, I think) seems more left-leaning than Tycho, who seems more right-ish.
Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 4:29 pm
From what I gather, Mike (Gabe, the artist) is a middle-to-left liberal sort with religious tendencies, while Jerry (Tycho, the writer) is more of of a small-government liberal anarchist atheist sort. But it's hard to be sure, they avoid politics the majority of the time.

Health care repeal vote in the House on Wednesday.
Yeah, it'll pass the House and fail in the Senate, but the Republicans know that. Even if it does pass, Obama will veto it.
So why push this repeal? So the voting public can see which Democrats vote against repealing it. Kind of smart, but I think it'd be far more effective in an election year.
Two things bugged me about this article, and all the recent articles on the health care law:
This-
First of all, cutting a massive, massive increase in federal spending is going to INCREASE the deficit? Yeah, I'm sure there was an image of Jesus Christ in that grilled chesse sandwich, but you had to look at it just so...
And this-
That's the article's final paragraph and easily the least reported fact about Obamacare. (Not the judge's decision, but how many states are suing.) And considering the financial burden it places on states, wouldn't it be downright criminal if California, New York, and Illinois weren't a part of the lawsuit?

This-
The Congressional Budget Office has said that repealing the legislation would add $230 billion to budget deficits over the next decade. But Republicans have largely dismissed that estimate, arguing that the assumptions are flawed and that over time the healthcare law would deepen deficits.

And this-
Currently, more than half of all states are suing, and the U.S. government is appealing a recent decision by a federal judge that the law's requirement all individuals have health insurance or pay a fine is unconstitutional.

So even if it doesn't get repealed by vote, the SCotUS may rule the entire damned thing unconstitutional. Fingers crossed.
