Postlet #7: Why Am I So Pissed Off?

Because all I wanted to do today was write about the Pee-Pee Patrol. Sure, I’m oversimplifying a little. Just trust me, though, if you spent your goddam day doing what I spent my goddam day doing, you’d be pissed off too.  More than the poor French bastard who got to test-drive the new anti-pee wall. [...]

Postlet #6: Fact-Checking Huckabee and Politifact

Dumbass Mike Huckabee, a guy I used to like, defended his idiotic reading of some of the President’s remarks, and their relationship to just-buried Ted Kennedy. When diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at age 77, Senator Kennedy didn’t do as President Obama suggested and take a pain pill and ride it home. Politifact, the RC [...]

Postlet #5: Something Besides Public Option Declared Dead

Every few weeks, it seems, the media is reporting the death of the public health insurance option, so I was happy to see them move on to a new target, the Gang of Six and the idea of a bipartisan reform bill.  What’s really cute is watching seasoned pros buy into the idea that the [...]

Postlet #4: Longer Lives are Less Than Worthless

Damn, do I ever get tired of double-talk on health care.  First, Section 1233 was, if not the gateway to Death Panels, then it was a cold, worrisome treatment of mortality vs. cost.  Now, when it comes to the idea of extending life through preventive medicine, that’s a bad idea because longer lives cost money: [...]

Postlet #3: Tapper Doesn’t Takes Exception, I DO

Update:  Jake doesn’t take exception.  I do.  I think the President should literally say “Let me be absolutely clear: The media, with the exception of Jake Tapper and Tommy Christopher, have done a lousy job of blah blah blah…” Jake Tapper posts today about the President and his political arm, Organizing for America, taking shots [...]

Postlet #2: Eliot Spitzer Gets a Freebie From NY Post plus Morning Joew

I got hosed out of 2 Mediaite stories this morning by quicker colleagues, but cannot stand to suffer from writeus interruptus, so I’ll splooge my 2 cents worth here. First, Joe Scarborough compared conservatives to the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto on Morning Joe today, and my Chief-a-roony Rachel Sklar had a post up before [...]

Postlet #1: Really? The PhRMA Deal Sucks?

Tonight, I introduce the postlet.  The name might indicate a short blog post, but what it really is is a post that’s short on links and polish, and long on me mouthing off because I am constantly having my time wasted, so I’m really annoyed.  I’m also including a random picture, because I like my [...]

Billie’s Quickies…”They follow each other, consequently they are hatless”

Perhaps I am too young to understand where this idea of feminists as manhaters comes from, but it certainly is ridiculous.  Luckily, we have science to now tell us that feminists are not manhaters.  How ever would we have gotten by without this newfangled theory? “Our work finds that, indeed, non-feminists believe in traditional gender [...]
