    Random Recitals

    The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.

    Moyers on Single Payer

    Article by John on May 23rd, 2009 at 2:58 pm

    For those of you that missed this Bill Moyer’s segment last night on single payer health care.  David Himmelstein & Sidney Wolfe

    http://www.democracyforvancouver.org/wp-content/uploads/himmelsteinwolfe.mp4

    Why do you suppose for forty years now single payer healthcare has been off the table even though it is favored by a majority of Americans?  Could it be that our representatives do not represent us?  And if that is [...]

    get some camomile tea for that tillerman, would ya?

    Article by missy on October 8th, 2008 at 11:00 am

    Maybe that would calm him down a little bit.

    John McCain can’t believe that Barack Obama could ever be his equal, much less his rival for the Oval Office.

    What came through last night was McCain’s unerring sense of entitlement to the Presidency, and his being absolutely appalled at the, yes, audacity of Barack Obama thinking he could ever be even half the man that John McCain [...]

    Article by missy on October 6th, 2008 at 1:01 pm

    John McCain would pay for his health plan with major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid, a top aide said, in a move that independent analysts estimate could result in cuts of $1.3 trillion over 10 years to the government programs.
    …
    In the months since Sen. McCain introduced his health plan, statements made by his campaign [...]

    I’m lucky. I have health insurance, and my employer pays 100% of the premium. We don’t cover spouses or dependents, but we’re a small company.

    I have used my health insurance much more than the average American: since I joined the company in late 1995, I’ve had a pregnancy, a c-section, a miscarriage that required not one but two D&Cs (that was a fun [...]

    I Almost Forgot, It’s Always the Dems Fault

    Article by John on August 19th, 2008 at 9:55 am

    A letter to the editor in The Columbian today:

    Can we afford change?

    President Bush has been in office for approximately 7½ years. During the first six years of his presidency the economy was fine. Consumer confidence stood at a 2½-year high; regular gasoline sold for approximately $2.19 a gallon; the unemployment rate was 4.5 percent; the Dow Jones hit a record high at 14,000 plus; Americans [...]
