Surgery Too Expensive? Try India
We’re getting bombarded with bullshit stories about Canadians coming to America because they’re afraid of their health care system. But the hot trend in American surgery turns out to be a first-class ticket to India: BANGALORE — Lying in a … Continue reading
The Second Law of Paranoia
Bernard Goldberg — whose book 100 Liberals Who Are Screwing Up America was cited as inspiration by Jim David Adkisson, the Tennessee Unitarian church shooter — has a marvelous new theory for the late wave of birtherism in the media: … Continue reading
Blue Cross Democrats
I wish I had thought of this. Blogging over at Preemptive Karma, The Chinuk has a new name for Blue Dog Democrats trying to water down and/or derail health care reform: “BLUE CROSS DEMOCRATS.” Use early, use often. Lather, rinse, … Continue reading

You know all those coal commercials that tell us we have a 250-year supply of coal? According to Grist magazine editor David Roberts, the industry made that number up: (R)ates of fossil-fuel production are not, indeed cannot physically be, static. … Continue reading
Health Care Reform, The Musical
The public option fight is reminding me of another episode in American history…the one we just finished celebrating a few weeks ago. It’s hard to believe now, but in July of 1776 there were still some men at the Continental … Continue reading
Special Wingnut Crazy
My open letter to Glenn Beck is getting lots of traffic this morning. I’ve already had to disallow one comment that was just too openly racist. But that isn’t what bothered me: the poster seemed most concerned that I accused … Continue reading
