Published on The Smirking Chimp (http://www.smirkingchimp.com) Dithering While America Sneezes: Failure on H1N1 Highlights a Bigger Crisis By Ted Rall Created Nov 6 2009 - 12:21pm NEW YORK--America's scandalous lame (non-)response to the swine flu pandemic isn't a big deal. Not compared to, say, the melting of the polar ice cap. It isn't torture. Or war. It pales next to giving hundreds of billions of dollars to wealthy bankers...

The left and terror By J.R. Dunn The Jihadis will return. We know this, in the same way that we know about death and taxes. Thanks in large part to the weakening of our defensive efforts under the new administration, there will be further attacks against this country's population, perhaps even worse than those of 9/11. (This week's attack by Nidal Malik Hasan serves to underline the threat.) When this attack occurs, we will see an...

November 2 2009 The leftish Brookings Institution and the US Chamber of Commerce basically agree that the energy taxes in the House Waxman-Markey bill could total $9 trillion over ten years.

Ugly geezer bitch. Her HR plan will put americans in prison for 5 years if they don't buy insurance. The health insurance companies paid her millions to ram this thru.

"If to question a science which relies so heavily on computer generated modelling is to be a denier or a sceptic, then stack me up with the heretics and go find the matches. Because modelling is a black art and the models will be wrong. They might understate or overstate the outcome but they will change over time. Model failure is so common there is a name for it: model risk." Chris Uhlmann Warmest Regards Bon z0...

"Medicare For All" mathematically is impossible. After all, Medicare only "works" - to the extent that financially-troubled Medicare does - by having people pay in for DECADES before being eligible to benefit. Medicare doesn't work by people starting to pay in the day they become eligible for benefits. http://www.redstate.com/....wnhall/ is the all-states, continually-updated calendar of "town...
