POPSBarbara Ehrenreich: The Swine Flu Vaccine Screw-up More: According to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the government was misled by these companies, which failed to report manufacturing delays as they arose. Her department, she says, was "relying on the manufacturers to give us their numbers, and as soon as we got numbers we put them out to the public. It does appear now that those numbers were overly rosy." If, in fact, there's a political parable here, it's about Big Government's sweetly trusting reliance on Big Business to safeguard the public health: Let the private insurance companies manage health financing; let profit-making hospital chains deliver health care; let Big Pharma provide safe and affordable medications. As it happens, though, all these entities have a priority that regularly overrides the public's health, and that is, of course, profit…

POPSDoctors for Patient Freedom: "No Government Run Health Care" Rationing is the only way to control costs if third parties control all of health care financing . Universal Coverage by health insurance is neither achievable nor necessary while Universal Access to medical care is. An Individual mandate to buy health insurance is a slippery slope to socialized medicine and leads to many unintended consequences. Doctors will be forced to comply with government rationing protocols through use of cookbook medicine and electronic medical record systems. Medical Care will only get better under a free market system. Government and private charities have the capacity to take care of the poor. The tax code needs to be changed to grant Medical financial power to Americans, not to force Americans to act against their interests or grow the size of government.

POPSNo Medical Care for Those Who Are Not “Participating Citizens” less than fools . Whereas thousands are fleeing the natural paradise of California for the arid deserts of no-tax Nevada, there is no Nevada to the United States . . . The New York Times (again) quoted a credit analyst at Hexagon Securities named David Havens in a story on CIT this financial firm trying to find financing saying, “ he only game in town right now is the government.” Sometimes I don’t even care. No one else seems to care. Certainly no one under 35 cares. No one stood up against Sotomayor who should have. I feel like I’m shooting myself in the foot here to prove some point before an implacable unstoppable force of history (A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,/ Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it/ Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds), and it’s totally not worth it. I just don’t care. Rahm Emanuel’s Brother and Obama’s Top Health Advisor: While I’m not caring, Rahm Emanuel’s brother, who is,

POPSUS highway safety agency withheld distracted driver research More: The research findings were obtained by the Center for Auto Safety and Public Citizen through Freedom of Information requests, the Times said. The newspaper posted the documents on its Web site Monday night. The findings included: _ Cell phone usage by drivers increased 50 percent, from 4 percent in 2000 to 6 percent in 2002. _ Driver distraction contributes to about 25 percent of all police-reported traffic crashes. _ Cell phone use is growing as a distraction while driving… Legislation forbidding the use of hand-held cell phones while driving was not recommended because it does not address the problem and may instead lead drivers to think handsfree phones are safer. The problem is that a cell phone conversation takes the driver's focus off the road, the studies showed.

POPSPublic Financing of Elections Dead - McCain There is some poetic justice that the "architect" of such a miserable piece of legislation should find himself on the losing end of a race where his opponent thumbed his nose at the law. But the fact that the man who was the chief beneficiary of McCain's stupidity is a far left liberal who is seeking to alter America doesn't give any satisfaction. Every attempt by McCain to establish himself as some kind of leader in the Republican party since his defeat has failed. He is a pariah of a politician and most Republican senators want little to do with him. But he will remain popular with his friends (re-found friends now that he's just another senator) in the media as long as he keeps trashing conservatives and members of his own party. It's a role he seems very comfortable playing. I just hope he likes solitude.

POPSNow they admit it We screamed, we yelled, we pointed it out time and time again, the bias in the MSM is disgusting. This is the second post mortem, that I know of, that they major players in the media have had and during both the consensus has been that the bias was overwhelming. With Obama backing out of public financing so that he could out spend McCain 5 to one and the entire MSM apparatus on his side it is amazing the election was as close as it was.

POPS11 Public Transit Agencies Pleaded With Congress For Bailout And the banks were able to rely on frequent lease payments while writing off taxes on the depreciating property. The IRS ended such leasing arrangements in 2004 and is pressuring banks to stop the tax shelters by the end of the year. Metro, the Washington area’s transit system, agreed last week with a bank immediately seeking $43 million from one such financing deal following talks overseen by a federal judge. Terms were not disclosed on the judge’s instructions. Metro general manager John Catoe noted Tuesday that Metro still faces 14 similar financing deals. He said having to settle all of them in court would lead to hefty legal costs and other expenses. The other three agencies seeking government help are in Sacramento and San Jose in California and New Jersey Transit.

POPS4 important issues ignored by the media No Democrat can ever again dare to defend a system destroyed by Obama. All future worries about the dangers of big money and big politics will fall on deaf ears. Imagine the reaction of the New York Times or the Washington Post had John McCain renounced his promise to participate in public campaign financing, proceeded instead to amass $600 million and outraise the publicly financed Barack Obama four-to-one, and begun airing special 30-minute unanswered infomercials during the last week of the campaign.

An honest, non-corrupted media would rally around WFTV – would push back in unison to make clear to Lightworker and his surrogates that this type of payback is unacceptable in response to nothing more than a few tough questions. The reporter wasn’t even all that aggressive.
