Propaganda
meets Professor Obama
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
Thursday's health care summit offered a real
chance to learn what GOP politicians really think about healthcare,
insurance companies and working people who don’t
enjoy the same kind of coverage that we provide for them.
And it also emphasized that Obama has allowed
the opposition many chances to seek bipartisan compromise,
only to be spurned in the most cynical way every
time.
Republicans repeated their propaganda points that
seem transparently fraudulent when someone like Obama is
present to correct them...The Republican leaders
were unafraid to sound ignorant, as The Boehner demonstrated
when he claimed that insurance for doctors is
"the biggest cost driver" in American healthcare. He deserved to be
corrected less gently than he was by the president
and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., but perhaps they make allowances
for Boehner, who might be dim enough to believe
whatever he parrots from the script.
ha ha
John McCain, whose sneering at the president almost
became the headline of the summit, quickly chimed in on
malpractice to say that laws limiting claims
in Texas and California have "worked." But, again, he and Boehner
both had to listen as their propaganda gambit
was shot down.

Subject: Lauren Ashley and the obession with Leviticus
Odd about people who quote Leviticus - they never
quote all the law, only bits and pieces of it.
You never hear of them quoting Leviticus chapter
yen and eleven:
10 And all that have not fins and scales in
the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters,
and of any living
thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you;
ye shall not eat of their flesh,
but ye shall have
their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
So if you eat pork or rabbit or shrimp or catfish, you just committed an abomination.
Right - eating a bacon sandwich is just as bad as "the abomination" of being gay.
25 years ago I saw a Madonna interview.
She said she left the Catholic church because they said
eating meat on Friday or kissing a girl was as
bad as shooting someone - she's right - that's crazy.
And isn't it curious that you will never ever hear them quote verse 20?
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
Could it be they don't want to bring up the HUGE
number of their heroes that have done exactly that?
MadSat
You are correct.
They want to pick and choose which verses count - the ones that hurt
gays the most
are the ones they choose to highlight because it backs up their prejudiced
crappola.

Eight lobbyists for every congressman
Excerpt:
A new analysis by the Center for Public Integrity
shows that corporate interests attempted to exert
an unprecedented amount of influence in the health
care debate over the past year. More than 1,750
companies hired about 4,525 lobbyists - eight
for Congressman - to influence health care in 2009.
These groups included 207 hospitals, 105 insurance
companies, 85 manufacturing companies,
and 745 trade, advocacy, and professional organizations.
Overall, "businesses and organizations
that lobbied on health reform spent more than
$1.2 billion on their overall lobby efforts.
So every congressman is surrounded by eight millionaires
trying to give him cash.
Meanwhile, the poor and middle class are shut
out in the cold and can't be heard.

Arizona Goes 'Birther'?
Excerpt:
Nearly half of the Arizona Legislature wants
to force Obama to show his birth certificate to run for re-election.
A state House committee on Tuesday approved the
measure sponsored by 40 of the state’s 90 legislators.
It would require presidential candidates who
want to appear on the ballot in Arizona to submit documents
proving they meet the requirements to be president.
All 40 co-sponsors are Republicans, comprising
75 percent of the GOP caucus.
Two of them have since resigned to run for Congress."
I think Obama learned this trick from Bill Clinton.
He's going to wait until the entire GOP goes
out fifty miles on this limb
and when it's the most embarassing time, hand
them his birth certificate.
Problem is, they'll IMMEDIATELY go to Bitch #2.
They will never stop complaining - ever.

Subject: RicoDog SCOOP: Toyota explained
While driving a '69 Firebird alone on a country
road on a clear summer day, I saw that the car was starting
to climb the embankment on the side of the road.
I immediately slammed on the brake and to my shock the car
sped up instead of slowing down. When the
car came to a stop with its partially crumpled nose jammed up
against the hillside, I wondered why the
engine was racing at full throttle. Gathering my wits in a second
or two,
I looked down to find that my right foot was
firmly planted ON THE ACCELERATOR! Prior to this revelation,
I would have sworn to Koresh that I was standing
on the brake.
My disorientation was induced by two factors:
one, that the car was at a slight angle, having already started to climb
the bank by the time I hit the 'brake;'
and two -- and this is where the industry-wide bad engineering comes in
--
practically all cars built from the mid-sixties
to the present don't have anywhere near the difference in 'feel' or elevation
between the gas and the brake as compared to
earlier cars. The cars that I learned to drive on that were built
in the
1950s had gas pedals that were hinged at the
bottom and were set several inches farther away than the brake pedal.
In addition to having to bend your knee and pull
your foot up in order to apply the brake, there was a decidely
different design -- and therefore a different
'feel' -- between the gas and the brake. Today, one can practically
just slide across between the two pedals; back
in the day, your heel had to come off the floor to get to the brake.
And back in the day, come to think of it, unintended
acceleration was not an issue. Hmmmm.
-RicoDog
.
You might be onto something there.
Toyota has tens of millions of cars on American
roads.
The problem might be that one in every million
drivers gets confused and hits the wrong pedal.
Poor design would be Toyota's fault, but if
that's the problem, it's easily fixed and Toyota
would once again be considered a safe and dependable
car to drive.

Don't believe
the Toyota slander
by a guy who drives a 1996 Toyota product
Excerpt:
Of course, not everything could be reduced to
a simple and obvious rules like poke-yoke. For example, let's
assume
you want to drill a prefect hole in the perfect
place. When the tools are first set up, it's pretty simple to get
the results
you need. However, over time, the drill
bit will get dull and the restraints that hold the part in place will loosen
or
otherwise move slightly. At some point,
the part will no longer meet specifications. Toyota's answer to this
dilemma
was to take careful and routine measurements
to determine how long it took for a set-up to go out of spec. If
it was
found that 43,000 holes could be drilled before
a dull bit started making bad parts, the solution was to change the bit
at 42,000 parts (for example). Over time,
experience would teach Toyota how to make a whole car out of statistically
perfect parts while poke-yoke would ensure those
perfect parts would always be assembled correctly.
Using methods like this, Toyota was soon producing
cars with incredible quality designed and built in. Folks began to
notice that their Toyotas seemed to last forever
and almost never broke down. Whatever was wrong with a Toyota,
reliability was NEVER the problem.
After reading about ten books on Toyota's methods,
I became convinced that either you built things the way they did,
or you built an inferior product. Toyota's
methods were pure genius.
So to those grandstanding pols who want us to
believe that Toyota is now making dangerous junk I say,
"How can someone like you who is lucky to get
something right a couple of times a YEAR
criticize folks who get thousands of things absolutely
perfect every DAY?"

Subject: ice skating porn
Hi Bart,
Your take-down of porno ice-skating reminded me of the time when I met a retired ballet dancer at a party.
He told me the majority of male dancers are gay
and the women prefer it that way.
It makes perfect sense.
What other "legal" profession requires a man
to grap a woman by the crotch?
To stay business-like and avoid the harassment
problem, you need gay men.

Haven't noticed the doggie-style & "soixante-neuf"
positions cuz I hate figure-skating &
don't watch unless I'm in someone else's home,
but maybe you've turned me around!
I sure DID see those crotch-shot twirls &
leg-lifts.

You're right - that's another part of the problem.

Subject: Toyota automobiles
I bought into that "Buy American" crap back in
1982 when I did what Ford asked me
to do by buying a Ford truck. I already knew
that the Japanese vehicles were kicking ass,
but having recently been discharged from the
military I still had a strong sense of patriotism in me.
Immediately after making my purchase I took the
thing home for a good inspection, upon which
I noticed that everything under the hood had
some kind of Japanese labeling attached.
It took several phone calls to verify that my
FORD Courier was in fact a Japanese made MAZDA.
It turned out to be the best vehicle I had ever
owned! They didn't want me to buy Japanese, but they
were buying Japanese and relabeling them as Ford!!
I haven't bought another American made car since,
other than American made Japanese brands.

Subject: Toyota automobiles
I have seen several online articles re: a possible
govt. fix in bringing down Toyota and it makes sense to me
except for one simple fact....The Japanese auto
makers (not just Toyota) have factories all over the south.
It does not serve the govt. as a whole or the
Obama admin. at all if the Japanese automakers
and by proxy the many factories employing Americans
flop. Your take on this?
Dan - Albany, NY
If the GOP could break Toyota and get their Southern factories shut
down,
that would be more "proof" that Obama has mishandled the recovery.
An economic recovery is the LAST thing the GOP needs right now.
That'd mean it got better under the Black man after Bush made things
worse.
Plus the whore media keeps suggesting Obama's peeps are on the take.
Well, either on the take or too stupid to predict the
speedometer problems.
The GOP makes their money when the country is f-ing miserable.

Subject: Your next Test - have it in Detroit!
1. Medical Marijuana is legal in Michigan,
and has been in Detroit for a while.
2. Marijuana is de facto legal in Detroit
for the healthy, because there are not enough police to enforce the laws
against it.
3. The federal government has made it clear
that except for GM and Chrysler, they really could care less what happens
in or to Detroit and
Michigan, so there's probably not much of a chance that the DEA will intervene.
If all else fails, have it in Ann Arbor.
The penalty for possession of under an ounce of
pot in AA is a $45 civil infraction and confiscation of the drug.
No criminal record, no probation, and no life-long
stigma. The medical marijuana laws still apply, the state police
stay out of it unless you are driving on the
Interstate while toking, and it is a college town.

Katrina cop pleads guilty
Excerpt:
A veteran New Orleans police officer pleaded
guilty yesterday to orchestrating an elaborate cover-up
of a shooting in the days after Katrina in which
police gunned down six unarmed city residents, killing two
and seriously wounding four.
The development -- which the Times-Picayune calls
a "potentially devastating blow" to other officers linked
to the case -- is the first plea in a wide-ranging
federal probe of several post-Katrina police shootings. The Feds
are reportedly looking at possible crimes in
both the shootings themselves as well as the subsequent investigations.
The Danziger Bridge shootings occurred on Sept.
4, 2005, just six days after Katrina hit. The victims were stranded
on a part of Chef Menteur highway that was surrounded
by flooding; the police involved were working out of a
temporary station at a reception hall nearby.
In federal court Wednesday, former Lt. Michael
Lohman plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice
in the incident. He arrived on the bridge after
a group of officers had opened fire at two groups of unarmed citizens,
leaving Ronald Madison, a mentally disabled 40-year
old man, dead from six gunshot wounds, and James Brissette,
dead from seven gunshot wounds."
These people were trying to get to a livable part
of the city when shots rang out and that drew the cops.
The cops mistook the flood fleers for the shooters
and opened
fire on them.
That would not have happened to white residents.
