Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
So stop me if you heard this one. Hillary Clinton walks into a bar, and starts outlining some of her legislative priorities which you can read all about in this Reuters puff-piece…
[a bazillion paragraphs about her Presidential ambitions]
…
:
In her remarks, Clinton outlined a range of challenges she said Democrats would tackle in the coming months, such as trimming the federal deficit, reducing dependence on foreign oil, and improving the image of the United States abroad.She also said Democrats would focus on improving the quality and affordability of health care[,] a touchy matter for the former first lady, who in 1993 led her husband’s calamitous attempt to overhaul the nation’s health care system. The failure of that effort helped Republicans win control of both the Senate and House the following year.
“Health care is coming back,” Clinton warned, adding, “It may be a bad dream for some.”
Who is sympathetic to this woman’s mad ravings? It may be a bad dream for some? Yeah sure…so many of us want to make sure a bunch of Americans remain uncovered and have no access to healthcare. Right. We have nightmares thinking “Omigosh! What if nobody has to worry about their healthcare coverage, my life will be ruined!”
No Hillary. We just hate socialism, like all decent Americans.
Oh and here’s another thing to think about…oddly, Hillary doesn’t seem to have mentioned anything about it, nor did anyone press her to say anything. A sampling of what’s to come, I daresay.
Al Qaeda is trying to acquire the technology that would enable it to use a nuclear device to attack Western targets including Britain, a senior British official said on Monday.
“We know the aspiration is there. We know attempts to gather materials are there, we know that attempts to gather technology are there,” the senior Foreign Office official told reporters.
The comments at a briefing came days after the head of Britain’s domestic spy agency said Muslim extremists were plotting at least 30 major terrorist attacks in Britain which could involve chemical and nuclear devices.
The Foreign Office official, asked whether there was any doubt that Al Qaeda wants to gather nuclear material for use against Western targets, said: “No doubt at all.”
There ya go. Dirty little bearded men who want to kill us, getting their hands on nukes. Hillary wants us to think about healthcare.
Yeah, it’s the kind of stuff that gives me nightmares, just not in the way she implies.
Update 11/14/06: This morning Neal Boortz started trying to figure out what Hillary might have meant with this crack about “bad dreams.” He made more sense of it than I did. It’s still a bizarre thing for her to have said.
Does Hillary mean that after our government takes control of the delivery of medical services in this country that Americans will have to wait for months, even years, for elective surgery as people do in Canada and other countries with socialized medicine? Well .. .if that’s the case, Hillary is right. That would be a bad dream.
Maybe Hillary is talking about what awaits any American who tries to use his or her own money to hire a doctor outside of the government medical scheme. Well, under the Hillarycare proposal she concocted in 1993, if a private individual used private funds to hire a doctor to perform a medical service outside of Hillarycare, then both the doctor and the patient could be arrested and jailed. Being jailed because you dared to hire your own doctor? Again, Hillary is right. That indeed would be a bad dream; not just for some, but for many.
