Dems Rejected 11 Amendments Requiring Congress to Enroll in Gov’t-Run Health Plan
(CNSNews.com) – More than 200 amendments were rejected by the House Rules Committee ahead of Saturday’s vote on the Democrats’ health care bill, Eleven of those rejected amendments would have required members of Congress and other government officials to be enrolled in the same federal insurance plan proposed for the American people. “If Congress forces our constituents into a public option plan over time, then members of Congress should be expected to do the same,” Rep. Howard McKeon (R-Calif.) told CNSNews.com. GOOD ENOUGH FOR US BUT NOT FOR THE PEOPLE SUPPOSEDLY REPRESENTING US
There's a new movie coming out called 2012. My Vietnamese manicurist was talking about it and asking me if I knew if it was true. Her 8 year old son wanted to know if he could now quit school. Here's a link explaining "2012". http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/091105-2021-doomsday.html
I just finished a new bio of Elizabeth Taylor, "How to Be a Movie Star: Elizabeth Taylor in Hollywood" by William Mann. Now, I don't know how much of what he wrote is true but much of it is annotated. But here's my impression of La Liz: She never had a private life. From the time she was 12, she was in the limelight. She swore like a truck driver. She had a huge libido. She could drink most men under the table. She was into conspicuous consumption primarily diamonds. She was a user of both people and drugs. She was also smart, shrewd, caring of her gay friends, loyal to those who treated her well, a great actress and, of course, mesmerizingly beautiful. It's not Tolstoy but a very good, entertaining read.
If it's up to the American people, there won't be a need to bail out the big screen TV industry. But you folks in California, you may not even get the chance to buy one. Look at this from Rasmussen: Most Americans Favor Big-Screen TVs Over Energy Conservation : Tuesday, November 10, 2009
"California is expected to implement energy-conserving regulations any day now that manufacturers and retailers say will in effect ban the sale of big-screen TVs in the state. Other states are likely to follow the Golden State’s “green” initiative in the months ahead. But a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 66% of Americans oppose a law that would effectively ban the sale of big-screen televisions to save energy. Sixteen percent (16%) favor the idea, and 18% are not sure. Most adults (53%) say being able to buy whatever kind of TV they want is more important than conserving energy. However, 37% rate conserving energy as more important. Still, 54% are willing to pay more for a television that is more energy-efficient. Thirty percent (30%) are not, and 16% aren’t sure." THE WAY IT'S GOING, OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SEEM TO KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR US. I MEAN, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING, DON'T THEY?
One last note. My thoughts and prayers to the family members of those who were murdered at Ft. Hood this week. Let me ask you a question. If John Wilkes Booth truly screamed out "the south is avenged" after he shot President Lincoln, do you believe the press of the day would say only that he was deranged? They wouldn't have characterized him as a southern sympathizer? So, why, when this Hasan murderer yells Allahu Akbar, the press is so reluctant to call him a Muslim sympathizer? The British press is the one that is on top of all of this. They're the one's who found out Hasan had contacted a top Al Qaeda recruiter 20 TIMES! Our PC has gone over the top...
