"Just Tell Them...

I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

Inquiring Minds Wanna Know: WTF is Nancy Pelosi Crying About? (Plus: Docs in Wisconsin are Mad as Hell that Her President isn't Backing HR 676.)


Nancy's tears discussion...Per The Confluence.

Now look. I don't think we should be razzing any politician, male or female, about shedding a few tears. The question in this case is really *WTF are the tears about?* Folks at The Confluence are trying to figure that out.

So am I.

Meanwhile, Doctors in Wisconsin are MAD AS HELL about how the Health Care debate has been hijacked:



Got that Nancy? Docs don't wanna hear your false accusations of racism and RW hatemongering. They want you and the President to back HR676 like he said he would.

Do your jobs, in other words. And cut with the whining.

Last Night's Health Care "Scolding" Was No Game Changer

Sadly, the speech Mr. Obama gave last night amounted to little more than a scolding. It was supposed to be about the future of health care in the U.S. But it wasn't. Not really. What the president did last evening, via live television, was to scold the nation for not being with him on .... some kind of "plan" that we haven't yet seen.

The scolding provoked Rep. Joe Wilson to blurt out the only line of the evening that will actually be remembered:

"You lie!"



What the *president* talked about made most Universal Care advocates scratch their heads ... along with Dennis Kucinich:



How on earth will padding the pockets of pharmaceutical and insurance companies help us dig our way out from under this health care mess we are in? The implication is preposterous, at best.

From what I saw last night... and read this morning....

The Right thinks our president is a liar.

The Left thinks he's confused.

Nobody is citing anything about Barack Obama's health care address that they saw as a clarion call or game changer.


Are they?

Who Cares About the Economy? Healthcare? Or the Death of a Soldier?

Those things can wait...

Cuz there are evildoers among us, and they are destroying the Obama vision. Stupid police officers. Looselipped congresswomen.

If Obama's health care plan doesn't survive congressional scrutiny.... it will be for the very same reason that working class Democrats voted against him in the primaries. Such spins the Obamacare meme.

Yep, it's all about race again. As our MSM downplays yet another week of high unemployment rates, failed attempts at health care policy, and escalating violence in the middle-east .... to bring us ad nauseum coverage of how Americans all hate one another because of our varying skin tones.

Nobody really seems to care about what gets accomplished in this "post racial age of Obama."

Except, maybe, for the nation's EENT Docs, who have released their own response to the president's flippant comment about them. (Thanks to PUMA blogger, Woman State for the heads up. On that one.)

Oh, and the neighbors of Sergeant First Class John C. Beale have something else to deal with as well. They have to say good-bye to a friend:



(Warning: Only watch the video if you are up for a good, twelve minute, cry. It shows the funeral procession of the fallen soldier, and what his neighbors did to honor him.)
