So sorry. Simply forgot. This is the link where I saw the story, even though a number of others have provided it. I was posting while a drank a glass of water to cool off from shoveling snow and went back outside.
Pamela Geller: CPAC Is “Enforcing the Shariah”
I, too, think many of the Teahadists act like the most radical of Muslims. Interesting to see someone from the far (very far) right agree.
Grover Norquist - the Muslim Brotherhood facilitator. hehehehe
They say that because he’s married to a Muslim woman. Which is an unforgivable taint, to them.
Unforgivable Taint - [del]Ba…[/del] - Naw, not gonna do it.
House GOP proposes a budget that assumes Obamacare will be repealed.
Even Chris Wallace of Fox thought that was a dumb thing to assume.
If there were real justice, he’d get a judgment that would include a requirement that he may not wear anything other than the pimp outfit for a few years.
Yeah, you’d think that the liberal-biased “lamestream” media would have hammered that point home…
Taint misbehavin’?
What you’re missing is that because it’s in scare quotes, “Bringing Cupcakes” is obviously a euphemism for staging a donkey show.
Someone at breitbart.com reported on Paul Krugman filing for bankruptcy. One small problem, it’s not true. The story originated at the Daily Currant.
Oddly, just last month someone at breitbart.com chastised the Washington Post for falling for a satirical story that also originated at the Daily Currant. And in that case, the Post admitted the error and issued a correction. After breitbart fell for a hoax, they just deleted the story with no comment.
Last I read, infant mortality is twice as high in home births than in hospitals in the US (though extraneous variables may be at play since COBRA doesn’t cover pregnancies without complications, so people may simply not be able to afford to give birth in a hospital).
Actually, I heard most of their profit comes from adverts on the back of the vacuum (presumably for Gun Grabbing classes, Liberal Hollywood movies and Union made cakes).
Oops – did I say that out loud?

This is something we will not give up on because we are not going to give up on destroying the health care system for the American people.

Sorry, your cite refers to low-risk home births, which is essentially backing up the second clause of my first sentence. The source I got the figures from was this.
My second sentence was presumably a Poe: I was combining the joke user_hostile made about popcorn in the waiting rooms with a reference to the fact that the profit from movie showings mostly derives from advertising revenue.
I’d like a cite for this, since having used COBRA, to the best of my knowledge it’s completely wrong. COBRA allows you to continue the identical health insurance you had with your last employer, it’s not some special cut-rate emergency medical care only package. If pregnancy was included in your regular insurance, it would be included under COBRA.
Of course home births should be limited to low risk cases. Only a fool or a poor person would avoid a hospital in the case of a high risk pregnancy. The main benefits of home birth occur after the birth, but are definite.
My parenthetical points out that even though healthcare costs twice as much in the USA, we do a God awful job of avoiding infant mortality.
Another study with some details:

Poe?
It gets worse than that - the latest iteration of the Ryan budget repeals the parts of Obamacare that actually expand healthcare coverage and protections, but keeps the Medicare cuts and tax increases that pay for it.
They put their ideas to the people, and the people handed them their asses. Which means now is the time to press their advantage! I dunno, you go figure.
Does he know its all horseshit, but needs to keep himself the focus of his base for a couple more years? Does he think that if he states it again, very slowly and carefully, everybody is going to suddenly come around to his way of thinking? Does he look at analysis and criticism from others and just figure they’re all lying?
I figure it like this: in order to get even this shabby effort passed, Obama had to agree to put all the ugly stuff first, and not actualize the stuff most likely to meet the publics approval untll next year. The Pubbies figured that it was so unpopular, they could repeal it before it ever got to that point.
But if they don’t do it damn soon, then the stuff so many people like will take effect, and the long slow slide to socialized medicine shall begin. Put simply, they’re panicking. They made a bet that they could win this last election with Tea Party Outrage jet fuel. But they didn’t. Ooopsy-Daisy, time for Plan B.
Another ‘vaginas how the fuck do they work’ moment.
Except there *is *no Plan B, as we now see. The *only *plan, ever, was and remains to simply oppose the 20th century.
