Patients First is calling Pelosi’s bluff: In response to CSPAN’s request that cameras be allowed to capture the happenings of the House-Senate conference on health care, Speaker Pelosi responded that “there has never been a more open process.” Yet, she won’t let cameras in"in spite of President Obama’s promise that the negotiations would indeed be aired on CSPAN. Therefore, Patients First, A Project of Americans for Prosperity, will launch a website tomorrow: www.letthecamerasin.com. The Facebook page is already up and running and by tomorrow morning, people will be able to visit the website and sign a petition to demand that the health care legislative process be even more “open” by allowing Americans to see what is happening. (http://www.facebook.com/letthecamerasin?v=wall) Make them walk the transparency walk. Let the cameras in. *** Allahpundit’s got video clips a plenty. http://bit.ly/5eALWl

POPSEXCLUSIVE: MillBlogger Michael Yon Detained, Handcuffed by TSA in Seattle Airport 
Yon was escorted to a room elsewhere in the airport where he said he remained silent during much of the questioning. According to Yon, “they handcuffed me for failing to cooperate. They said I was impeding their ability to do their job.” Yon described the TSA officials as noticeably frustrated by his refusal to answer their questions: “I always assume everything is being recorded. I was trying to be professional.” Yon continued, “They said I wasn’t under arrest, but I’m handcuffed. In any other country, that qualifies as an arrest.” Ultimately Port Authority police released Yon; according to Yon, the police were “completely professional.” In January of 2009, Yon’s article “Border Bullies” detailed a Homeland Security officer coercing a friend to give up her e-mail password so that he could read private email correspondences between her and Yon. Regarding the incident in Seattle, Yon was adamant that the TSA agents had overstepped their bounds:

POPSDid Americans get any healthier? This year my insurance company raised my deductable and my payment. There is a bigger chunk of my pay going out for less coverage. That means that even tho I have insurance I still can't go to the doc because I can't afford the copays. If I do afford the copays I can't afford the prescriptions. BTW: the co game me an annual raise... .1% of my current payrate. I got $.09 per hour. I'm stuck in a small town 25 miles in any direction from the nearest town that can support a walmart. There are 3 towns. None are big and none have decent paying jobs available. I'm stuck.

POPS"...his brain is squirming like a toad." We woke a zombie on the Paxil post. Click link, see twisted thoughts.
In response to my Paxil post -- Is Paxil creating more people who aren’t self-reflective? More “Conservatives Without a Conscience”? Happy Idiots http://bit.ly/4EBV8s -- I received the post below from a real zombie, an actual conservative, with thought patterns similar to Michelle Bauchman, Glenn Beck, Palin, the tea-baggers, all the Republicans (notice how they do everything in unison -- complete authoritarian mind-control. Wow. Scary. Who knows, maybe they are the Borg! (As Palin, would say, *wink*)) Here's my response to his comments below. And remember to be kind to this drug addict. Who knows if he wouldn't be one of us is he wasn't popping that Matrix-promoted soma (Paxil)? My comment to him follows: Sorry to wake you from your Paxil-induced unreality. You remind me of the people I know on Paxil. They see their own traits reflected outside of themselves. As a therapist of 40 years, I'm quite familiar with that. It's called projection. And lacking self-ana

POPSCondi Rice takes her place at the Cap n Trade trough " The Obama administration… and others who stand to profit by throwing literally millions out of work and relegating the US economy to second-rate status in the name of a discredited hoax. If anyone could be more pernicious and contemptible than the liberals currently dismantling our country, it's the perfidious pseudoconservatives who loot and profiteer along with them while sailing under a false flag."

POPSLet's travel back in time (way back in time)... This is astounding. The sheer size of universe, measured in both space and time is simply impossible for me to comprehend. In trying to consider this, I can't help but feel all the more perplexed by the insanity of our world. Wars are fought and hatred persists because of religious beliefs that are based on historical events that supposedly happened over the past few thousand years - yet the Hubble Telescope looks back into space/time at galaxies that have been around for 13.2 billion years. I find these things impossible to reconcile.
