— Purple Avenger Ouch, when the hard left Guardian blows the whistle on a commie like Moore, you know its gotta be pretty bad.
...Castro's government apparently went on to ban the film because, the leaked cable claims, it "knows the film is a myth and does not want to risk a popular backlash by showing to Cubans facilities that are clearly not available to the vast majority of them."...
...The memo points out that even the Cuban ruling elite leave Cuba when they need medical care. Fidel Castro, for example, brought in a Spanish doctor during his health crisis in 2006. The vice-minister of health, Abelardo Ramirez, went to France for gastric cancer surgery. The neurosurgeon whoheads CIMEQ [Centro de Investigaciones Médico-Quirúrgicas] hospital – widely regarded as one of the best in Cuba – came to England for eye surgery, returning periodically for checkups...
Leave FAST if you get sick.

While you are correct, from a conservative view, I know a couple of libs who would beg to differ.

They only cared when their fellow Cubans would find out that they wouldn't get the same quality of care as shown in the film. Otherwise, meh.

Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Cuba wouldn't have to ban the film. For maximum propaganda effect with minimal risk for blowback, the Cubans could have released an edited version of the film that while still denigrating our health-care system, would have been devoid of any references to Cuba's own "two-tiered" Party-led system.

True but quite a few all ready realize this, the ones working the tourist areas for example see the food and care that's made available to keep their dollars coming in.

Somewhere there video of a bloated dead whale being trucked through some town blowing up from the decomp gas pressure. It was pretty nasty.

Just wait. Raul Castro just made a speech saying there were a million unnecessary govt. workers in Cuba and they were going to start laying them off. 500,00 to start with and another 500k to 800k over a year or so. He warned that Cuba was going broke fast and they were going to have change their idea of what socialism is. Fun times ahead.

The Chicago Board of Election Commissioners must decide if Rahm Emanuel qualifies as a resident and can run to succeed Mayor Richard M. Daley. A three-day hearing on the topic yielded all sorts of questions and answers. Here's a sampling of those both for and against his run.

When informed of the remark, sources inside the White House say the President reacted furiously. "Fuck me? Fuck me?? No, Congress - fuck you, fuck all of you incompetent fucking fucks," Obama is said to have lashed out, although the sources remind you that this is strictly between sources and you.

As far as Moore's denial goes, bullshit. Joshua Trevino (@jstrevino) on Twitter nailed it here:
"Check the dates. Looks like the Cubans broadcast Sicko, then got backlash, then clamped down on it. Cable not wrong."

Momma, damned if you don't find the neatest things! The part on obesity was pretty cool. And since we have a lot of 'rons fighting the battle of the bulge while sitting at the keyboard (myself included), I thought I'd offer this.
Last month, I saw a promo for the Dr. Oz show on the best and worst of 2010. Of course, the promo showed a tiny snippet of the best/worst weight-loss drugs. I finally got around to watching the DVR of it a couple days ago. He seems pretty conservative about meds, so when he recommends something, I'll give it a whirl.
As you might expect, ephedra was the worst, and a natural (?) substance called glucomannan (Konjac root) was rated the best. Oz said that a bottle of the capsules was available at health-food stores and under $10 (not true in most cases). Glucomannan, Oz said, is used as a natural thickener in Japan and works as a fiber tablet, filling up like a sponge in your stomach when you drink water.
The first GNC I stopped at didn't carry it. Another GNC in a mall had one bottle left and it was close to $20. A holistic doc (bonafide MD) once told me that places like GNC and Wally World were the worst place for herbal things, so I went on line and also figured it would be cheaper. Considering the # of capsules for the price, it is. From the link below, one commenter suggested going with the powder form.
Haven't gotten around to ordering it yet, but figured I'd just put it out there if anyone was interested. The comments at the bottom of this link sound interesting. What moron doesn't want chocolate pudding?

Not to thread-jack, but if the UN was around in 1945, the Nazi Party would still be in control of Germany. Patton would have been prohibited from crossing the Rhine into Germany, because you know, we'd be invading them. And two wrongs don't make a right.

As posted on the sidebar, an American tourist was murdered in Israel.

CNN's take (buried down the page): U.S. Tourist's Body Found in Israel. No mention of the assailants; the libtard commenters suggest they were Israeli, replete with anti-semitism.
