Happy Tuesday.

Andy spotted this bit of fun, and there's your daily reminder that journalists don't know anything about anything.

Another day, another part of Obamacare delayed until after the elections in 2014.

Oklahoma's challenge to Obamacare survived the government's motion to dismiss. You'll want to keep your eyes on this one.

3 Good Morning Morons.  Today is Tuesday, August 13, 2013.  On this day in 1942 Disney's Bambi opened at Radio City Music Hall in NYC.  I saw that movie once way way way back and have never watched it again.

4 An old story is back in the news again.  The NTSB rule (yes mandated by a regulatory agency) that requires "black big brother" boxes in all new cars by Sep 1, 2014.   96% of all new cars already have them and I posted a story a few weeks ago where a teen was being prosecuted for vehicular manslaughter based on the info in the black box.  My gripe with this is that this so-called "rule" is being issued by a regulatory issue with no law making powers but they are doing it anyway.

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 13, 2013 07:06 AM (+98Gb)



My idea for the Supreme Court:


50 Justices, each State appoints one in what ever manner they see fit. (no Senate concurrence)


All Justices are subject to recall based on either (1) A simple majority vote by their appointing State or (2) A vote for recall by 2/3 of the State legislatures in the country. 


Any justice who reaches the age of 70 while on the bench must retire.


I would not have a term limit (other than age) or a congressional override as that would defeat the purpose of the court and also keep too much power in the hands of congress.

The conversation is just as important as the process itself. At least we make a stink that the country and its government are systemically broken. I think this is a process we can rally around.

California has once again found itself in the national headlines -- this time for a new law involving transgender students.

Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday signed a bill allowing "students in California schools to compete on sports teams and use facilities, including restrooms and showers, based on their gender identity, regardless of whether they are listed as male or female in official campus records."

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.  Thanks for the morning briefing, Gabe and Vic.  Hope you had no problems with your blood work yesterday, Vic.

 

 

HereÂ’s a Sam Goldwyn story while we munch on our coffee and pastries:  when the Sinclair Lewis novel Dodsworth came out in 1929, writer Sidney Howard told the producer that it would make a great movie.  “And,” he pressed, “you can buy it for twenty thousand dollars.”  Goldwyn looked into the deal, but he wasnÂ’t interested.  Howard, however, felt the property had legs.  “If you donÂ’t make this picture,” he warned, “IÂ’m going to make a play from it.”  Goldwyn shrugged and told him to do what he wanted.

 

 

So Howard wrote the play, which ended up being a 1934 Broadway smash.  It was then that Goldwyn stepped in and paid Howard $165,000 for the rights.  “See, I told you,” Howard gloated as he pocketed GoldwynÂ’s check.  “You could have bought it for twenty thousand dollars.”

 

 

Goldwyn didnÂ’t care.  “IÂ’d rather pay a hundred and sixty-five thousand for a successful play than twenty thousand for a novel that I donÂ’t know what itÂ’s going to be like.”

 

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

69 Eric Ericsson has an interesting post on the Georgia Senate race. I was particularly struck by his description of "Buckhead Republicans", which I take is the Gangnam/Georgetown district of Atlanta. I have to admit I love those kinds of Republicans. Pre-dreadnaughts in behind-the-scenes maneuvers, ready to knife you in the back, and in the public arena cockle-shells not able to move a single vote. They depend in part for influence on the more conservative side messing up. Otherwise, they can only generate so much public power/enthusiasm themselves. Ericcson talked about them going Democrat this cycle. I wish they would. Because once you demonstratedly go Democratic/non-Jeffersonian elitist, I doubt you get taken back.

The rehearsal dinner and the reception were both beer and wine only, so I was pretty sober for those. Btw, who the hell only has beer and wine bars when you drop $100k on a wedding???

No multi-day streaks of 110+ degrees, of 70+ days over 100 and we've had rain. I'm not complaining. Besides, its August. In Texas. It's supposed to be hot.

84 While one of the richest women in the world cynically grabs for her piece of the victim pie while extolling the virtual sainthood of a violent, petty thief. The myth of the 'strong black woman' is what she has proclaimed. A person with a billion or so in wealth can't deal with a 20k per year store clerk. Imagine Donald Trump dressed in lumberjack clothes, baseball cap over combover being told he 'couldn't afford' to buy something he wanted. I doubt that he would run from the store like a frightened little girl. Never cared for the Oprah, but I like her even less now. She's no role model for black women.

86 Go Oklahoma! Yes, I am very proud of my state, but, remember, I work in IT for the largest health insurance company in the state. We are spending OVER $100,000,000 to build the exchanges for the five states in which we do business. Our exchanges will be ready. We are the largest health insurance company in all five states, so we could not afford to miss on the exchanges and be shut out of individual business for any period of time. But remember children, Auntie Sherry has repeatedly told you this whole wasteful mess is aimed at the reserves held by the health insurance companies. We are required to have liquid ready reserves ready to pay out the worst case scenario for every single person insured within 30 days. We are allowed to invest the money, but, it must be invested to meet the requirements. This is billions and billions of real money. They want it, they want it bad, because if they seize it under the single payer pretext, hundreds of millions of it will stick to the correct greedy little paws.

What I cannot figure out, however, is how they will minimize their exposure to the really expensive cases they are mandated to accept regardless of any pre-existing conditions.  Any insights?

More than half of women offer to pay the bill on a date - but most still hope the man turns them down, a study has found. Fifty seven per cent said they volunteered to pay their share, although 44 per cent preferred not to.

More than a third, 39 per cent, admitted that any offer they made was empty and they hoped their date would reject it.

Researchers at Chapman University, New York, found men still covered the lionÂ’s share of dating costs, despite the breadwinning burden being shared in eight out of ten marriages.

Gee -- how surprising.

[Soapbox]

Back in the day, men paid for going out dates.  Dinner and a movie was on the guy's tab.

Women then eased that financial burden by suggesting free dates, like a picnic where they brought the food, or Sunday dinner with her family.

Unfortunately, that cost sharing went to hell when families got smaller, dissolved more often, and domestic skills like cooking became a hated symbol of the patriarchy.

109 The clerk did not mistreat Oprah. Those chichi boutiques train their clerks to spot celebrities. Yeah, they train them to be a bit snotty, but, they also train them to rein it in quickly and sell the d@mn merchandise. The clerk was probably trying to upsell by steering O to their most expensive items. True story: a farmer in Southern Indiana went to a Cadillac dealership to buy his wife a car. He was dressed in stained torn overalls and they bum rushed him out the door. He promptly drove to the nearest Cadillac dealership in a neighboring town. Walked in and asked the salesman to point out the two most expensive cars they had in stock. Old farmer told the salesman, I will buy them both for cash on one condition--that you call tjose sumbitches at such and such a dealer and tell them that the old man you didn't want in your dealership jyst paid cash for these two cars with money from his pocket.

I'm furious because of this    local news story:

 

Concord   (NH)    armored vehicle application draws protest

 

WMUR: http://tiny.cc/gd8q1w

 

"Why does this local news story make you furious, MWR?" you ask.

 

Because of two things.

 

1) It is a further militarization of civilian police forces, and

2) More   gallingly, because of this:

 


Police Chief John Duval's application referenced homeland security concerns, saying in part: "Terrorism slants primarily toward the domestic type.”

 

But the request drew criticism for mentioning specific groups in New Hampshire. It reads: "Groups such as the Sovereign Citizens, Free Staters and Occupy New Hampshire are active and present daily challenges."

 

Yes folks.  According to Police Chief John Duval of the Concord Police Department, members of the Free State Project (http://freestateproject.org/) -- a unified effort to create a libertarian stronghold here in NH -- are now domestic terrorists.   Congratulations!  

 

 

Remember after the    last   election    how I told y'all that the two parties -  Dems and Pubbies -- both   hate the Free Staters, because the Free Staters   aren't a guaranteed vote for either side?   Well here's your proof.

 

"Why would you be against armored vehicles for the police, MWR?" you ask.

 

"Why would I want to militarize a police force that views   people like Free Staters as terrorists?" I respond.

Chances are that they made the rocket themselves.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qassam_rocket



Those 400 rockets that went astray in Libya are purported to be man portable antiaircraft missiles.  It would be stupid to waste one shooting blindly into Eilat from Sinai.  It is far more likely that these missiles will be used to bring down airliners.  Stand in the bushes near the end of a runway and shoot one into the engine of a jumbo jet that is taking off or landing and see how well the pilot copes with having one of his engines suddenly non functional and possibly missing.  Some pilots will probably handle it better than others.

142 Gerard van der Leun lays the smack on Oprah. . . What throws me about this Oprah thing is contrasting her with Arafat and the other "Palestinian" leaders. MEMRI tells us that the palis say different (as in opposite) shit depending on what language they are speaking to personalize their messages to different target audiences. They talk out of both sides of their mouths. This is frustrating, but there is no "magic" to pulling this off. The situation created from the racial spoils system in the US is so screwed up that a single message in a single language delivered by a single person during a single event results in different target audiences' receiving messages personalized to them: 1. Grievance-monger: "Racist white devils!" 2. White-guilt vote-farming leftard: "Tsk tsk. We have a long way to go. Will we never get there?" 3. Person with at least two brain cells to rub together: "There she goes again."

There's a book called First Off the Tee which talks about various presidents' golf games (the writer, Dale Van Atter, ends up playing a round with a cheating Clinton, but, like all good MFM slurpers, doesn't call him on it).  I don't know if it was in that book or somewhere else where I read that Ike was playing a game one day and ended up about three feet short of the hole.  He suggested to his partner that it was a gimmee, but the partner refused.

 

"Oh, come on!" Ike supposedly said.  "You're going to make the president take that shot?"

 

"For my money, yeah, you better take that shot," the partner answered.  Ike missed and was furious for the rest of the day (he hated to lose at golf and really hated to lose a golf bet).

Posted by: Jones in CO at August 13, 2013 04:39 AM (8sCoq)

166 Here’s something I am really torn about posting. This is probably what I hate most about TFGs reign. It’s kinda hard to put into words, really, but I’ll try. Last week we enrolled Critter Bug (8 years old) into a vacation bible school class. He’s been to two already this summer, and he likes playing with kids his age, we like having 3 hours a day when he’s not underfoot. The church is a Methodist church, about 2 miles from our house. We’ve never been to this particular church, but it’s close, the time was right, so we enrolled him. Yesterday morning Lady Bug and I dropped him off, and realized that he’s the only white kid there. 40-50 other kids running around, and they’re all black, and that’s when I had the thought: “I wonder if that’s going to be a problem”. There. Right there. That thought. I never would have had a thought like that just a couple of years ago, and I FUCKING HATE IT. I hate the increasing racial polarization that’s poisoning our country. The kids are all around Critter Bug’s age, which should be too young for all of this, but suppose someone’s parents were ranting about Trayvon and little ears herd hateful things? Suppose someone mentions the Lightbringer and he pipes up “My daddy voted for Romney?” Suppose, suppose, what if? I fucking hate that these thoughts could even exist in 2013 in the United States of America. We’re supposed to be beyond all of that, yet here it is. Dr. King’s words “content of their character and not the color of their skin” are so profound, and so manifestly true, that for most of my adult life I’ve never even considered treating people any other way. I still don’t, but now doubts as to how they might treat me have started to intrude. It’s the 21st century for Christ’s sake, and even though the reality of racism in practice has never been more positive, it seems that attitudes about race have been rolled back 50 years or more. My dad told me that growing up in the pre-civil rights era, the black part of his city was called “N-town” by everyone without a second thought. That’s unthinkable today, but if Americans are pigeonholed more and more by race first, will it continue to be, or will we see a balkanization of America by race? Shouldn’t we be beyond all this by now? Ahh well, that Rev. Wright seems to be a fine fellow, I’m sure my worries about his VBS are baseless. That was a joke, obviously, but this isn’t, although it’s amusing: When Lady Bug and I came to pick Critter Bug up, they didn’t have to ask which kid was ours. Critter had a great time, so I’m glad my concern was baseless, but the fact that I had it, even for a minute, makes me so very sad.

175 This one is too ridiculous to not pass along. I’ve long written that desperate governments try to ‘control’ everything as they slide into insolvency. They impose capital controls, exchange controls, wage and price controls, gun controls, border controls, and more. But the government of Argentina has really taken this to another level. Their latest stunt? Manufacturing Viagra at a state-owned pharmaceuticals company... and giving it out for free to the people. It’s the ultimate reminder of how absurd government control can be when things get really desperate. They reach a certain point where, after capital controls, gun controls, wage and price controls, etc., the only controls left to implement are people controls.

And the President cannot create any executive position that is not subject to the Senate's advice and consent. No more 'czars'.

And Executive Orders shall be limited to proclamations.

Also, the President is limited to 4 weeks vacation per year, just like real Americans.

Members of Congress must put in 40 hours work per week or they don't get paid. Just like real Americans.

Members of Congress, their staff and families, are subject to any law passed by Congress.

No new department or agency may be created by Congress without corresponding personnel cuts in the federal workforce at large.

Target, berm behind the target, wood beams below the target. "Yaaaaayyy!!!! Did you see that?!?!" And the "kid" bows were damn near as tall as my girls, with a pretty healthy pull. Seeing as how I didn't think an arrow to the ass would enhance my wedding experience, I made sure they took turns and I helped them.

Cankles is a fucking douchetool.   From her remarks at last night's American Bar Association meeting in Frisco:

 

"In 1963, in Jackson, Mississippi, John stepped between angry protesters and armed police to prevent a potential massacre after the murder of Medgar Evans," said Clinton, who was referring to Medgar Evers, a civil rights activist who was murdered while walking into his home on June 12, 1963.

I used to be against term limits, on the theory that it robs the voters of the freedom to choose who they want.

 

Then I started reading about the 14th century peerage system in England and rethought my position.  Thing is, many titles in England were originated by the first guy getting "lucrative offices" and using the swag received from those posts to buy influence.  Thus started a system where you didn't earn privilege and authority - you were born into it.

 

The Congress, Judiciary, and Presidency has turned into similar "lucrative offices," access to which must be limited for the good of our Republic.

And so long as the kids play well together and learn the "Golden Rule," that was your point in participating. The Methodist Church has a strong black community presence, always has in America. One congregation's pastor I visited once was "old school" Methodist whilst the white congregations had already "moved on" into the whatever-doctrine-is-most-popular-today (divorce is a good thing, period) public arena. If anything else had mattered to you, you'd have looked into those matters prior to enrolling your kid in a program, since assumptions can sometimes be a bitch of a disappointment. /who are the teachers involved, if that church staff has a record of complaints regarding child abuse claims, if the place is SANITARY to your standards or if everyone seems ill all the time or the plumbing/toilets seem to overflow...

Nope.  They are "this" close to saying it's because of racism. Family says it is because of him taking drugs,  family friends say that "they don't want to" because he has had trouble with the law.

So,  pretty soon there will be a story about how he didn't get a heart because "racism."  And then his family will be on national TV like the girl with the lung transplant,  only more loud and demanding.

Then Al Sharpton will get involved.

This is SUCH a good idea.   So glad you shared how this local death panel is doing such a swell job.  And how well the patients's family is taking it.

If these clowns aren't in washington then they're not passing bills. and if they're not passing bills they aren't stripping us of our liberty. and make the pay part time too, or unpaid. Abolishing the 17th amendment would be helpful too. It would be hard to lobby a senator to support something that would be detrimental to his own state when it's the legislature that elects him. Voters might be stupid and forget by the time the election comes by but a legislature won't forget. Also it's easier to replace some state rep with one that's hostile to some asshole senator.

235 Yet Another White House Obamacare Delay: Out-Of-Pocket Caps Waived Until 2015 bamacare contains a blizzard of mandates and regulations that will make health insurance more costly. One of the most significant is its caps on out-of-pocket insurance costs, such as co-pays and deductibles. Section 2707(b) of the Public Health Service Act, as added by Obamacare, requires that “a group health plan and a health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage may not establish lifetime limits on the dollar value of benefits for the any participant or beneficiary.” Annual limits on cost-sharing are specified by Section 1302(c) of the Affordable Care Act; in addition, starting in 2014, deductibles are limited to $2,000 per year for individual plans, and $4,000 per year for family plans. Obamacare Increases Costs of College Health Plans by as Much as 1,112% Avik Roy Contributor The Obama Campaign's $8 Billion Taxpayer-Funded Medicare Slush Fund Avik Roy Contributor The War On Bros: Exchange Subsidies Won't Protect Young People From Obamacare's Higher Insurance Premiums Avik Roy Contributor How Obamacare Dramatically Increases The Cost of Insurance for Young Workers Avik Roy Contributor Out-of-pocket caps drive premiums upward There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you ban lifetime limits, and mandate lower deductibles, and cap out-of-pocket costs, premiums have to go up to reflect these changes. And unlike a lot of the “rate shock” problems we’ve been discussing, these limits apply not only to individually-purchased health insurance, but also to employer-sponsored coverage. (Self-insured employers are exempted.) These mandates have already had drastic effects on a number of colleges and universities, which offer inexpensive, defined-cap plans to their healthy, youthful students. Premiums at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C., for example, rose from $245 per student in 2011-2012 to between $2,507 in 2012-2013. The University of Puget Sound paid $165 per student in 2011-2012; their rates rose to between $1,500 and $2,000 for 2012-2013. Other schools have been forced to drop coverage because they could no longer afford it. According to the law, the limits on out-of-pocket costs for 2014 were $6,350 for individual policies and $12,700 for family ones. But in February, the Department of Labor published a little-noticed rule delaying the cap until 2015.

Then some guy who used to work for the Fed calls in and explains that QE is all good because "bonds." Yes, really, the host was mistaken and was saying "stocks" instead of bonds, and somehow the Fed buying billions of dollars (per month) of State and Muni bonds is WAAAAAY better than if they were buying stocks.

248 "anarchy" means 'No Ruler' the word does not reference lawlessness though for peace it requires mutual respect of the law. According to our Constitution, the USA does not have a "Ruler" who reigns supreme over the nation. And Americans are all held equal under that Supreme Law of the Land. There are no legitimate "rulers" in the USA. There are, however, private organizations which function according to lawful constraints. Where today's lawful constraints function contrary to original purpose, rescind the government bureau that enables the enslavement of the citizenry by global corporatists and/or state authoritarians.

The man who misled Congress on spying will pick Obama's intelligence review panel

WaPo:   http://tiny.cc/gd8q1w

 

On Friday, President Obama promised to appoint an “independent group” of “outside experts” to review the government’s surveillance programs.

 

 

Today, the president formally ordered the formation of this group, giving us a sense for just how independent the group would be. The announcement doesnÂ’t inspire confidence that the president is interested in truly independent scrutiny of the nationÂ’s surveillance programs.

 

 

The panel will be chosen by, and report to, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Clapper famously answered “no sir” when Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) asked whether the NSA collects information about millions of Americans. Clapper has since conceded that this answer was “clearly erroneous.”...

259 I mean, best I can tell, city, county and state governments really do believe that and then a miracle happens is a valid accounting practice in order to fully fund future pension obligations. Yep. And along with my "it makes sense not to buy insurance" point, it makes sense for cities, counties, and states *not* to fully fund their pensions. This is because politicians are concerned about getting theirs, and the communities they "serve" (ha) are concerned about nifty new stadiums, or High! Speed! Rail!, or whatever, and the Fed is busy printing money and sending it just as fast as they can.

I've pretty much resigned myself to a Hillary Presidency already. MSM ain't gonna tell the turth, GOP won't fight or even put up a decent candidate. If she runs, she's in.

That taken care of, I just move on to how badly she's going to act towards the Right and I conclude she'll be worse than Obama in that regard. He's only set the table, despite appearances.

266 GROTON, CONN. — A sailor on the New Mexico proposed to his boyfriend in front of about 200 people who gathered Monday at the Navy’s submarine base to welcome the boat home from its first deployment. Dylan Kirchner told the Day of New London he didn’t care that everybody was watching when Machinist’s Mate Jerrel Revels dropped to one knee and popped the question. He says it felt as though it was just the two of them. They have not set a wedding date. Defense officials estimate there are 18,000 same-sex couples in the active-duty military, National Guard and Reserve. It’s unclear how many of them are married. The repeal of the ban on openly gay military service took effect in September 2011. Gay marriage has been legal in Connecticut since 2008. Makes me want to puke.

277 255. In 1920, Americans still liked "normalcy". High schools at the time were "Normal Schools", btw. It's a century later and what we demand returned are our Constitutional Governance and Bill of Rights. 2016: Our Inalienable Rights The phrase does not "divide" anyone; and to the ignorant, inalienable almost sounds promising to illegal aliens voting for amnesty. Rather, Inalienable Rights, regardless of WHERE, people are born with them. Getting one's government to recognize and honor inalienable human rights is the current undertaking, regardless of WHERE.

Nice strawman.  Every economy is about allocation of finite resources.  My objection to IPAB is based on a long track record of proven failure of central economic planning at the federal level to efficiently allocate resources. In addition, the IPAB as currently conceived will have tremendous power, not through individual treatment decisions, but through so-called "best practices" (substitute "cheapest practices" because ultimately cost-containment will come into play).  Individuals are mandated to participate in a one-size-fits-all healthcare scheme in which goods and services are ultimately controlled at the federal level. Your strawman built out of this local treatment decision only becomes marginally plausible if we agree that healthcare should be provided for from a single federal pool of money. I, for one, reject that premise as inherently unworkable in a nation this size.

285 #281  With Benghazi there are only 2 choices:

1. Hillary is incompetent.
2. She was under direct orders from the president,  in which case she needs to speak up.

Now,  in instance #1 she will be vulnerable,  as she will have to explain why she refused security, didn't get the people some help,  why they were even there,  etc.

In instance #2 she either has to go with instance #1 OR she will have to blame Obama,  which will cause dissension.

Frankly,  I think that she will NOT run,  making the decision fairly late.  And I still think that Michelle Obama is being groomed to be the candidate.  Her appearances have been more serious lately,  and she seems to be not as highly visible,  perhaps studying up on issues.

Valerie Jarrett is not going to go quietly and TFG doesn't want to give up the perks and being the center of attention (which he would be even if Michelle were the candidate).

So there you are.  Discuss.

288 Don't give up- get angry. I disagree about getting angry. Dissect what got us here. Game every scenario in your head like WOPR did before it shutdown the simulation. Concentrating this much power and flowing this much money through a federal government cannot lead anywhere other than what we have right now. Human nature is ironclad law. You can't push without risking stormtroopers on your doorstep (supported fully, BTW, by people ostensibly on your side). There is no need to push because what cannot continue will not continue. But when the beast does stumble and fall, be Johnny-on-the-spot with your boot on its neck. Before the crash, the beast's momentum dominates. After the crash, the ones trying to get the beast going again are the ones facing the uphill battle.

290 274. "Rush the Limbaugh suggested a new Democrat strategy for winning the WH. Just keep running 'the first ever' candidate." -- total recall -- Hm, the "first ever" is linked to the American Dream... The Thirteen American Colonies were the first ever to win Independence from the most powerful empire of the day, Great Britain. The USA was the first balanced/limited symmetrically divided Constitutional Government ever organized by the people for the people. The USA was the first Western Nation where immigrants blended together into the "melting pot" assimilating over time into One People, E Pluribus Unum signifies more than unified States in one Nation. Henry Ford's manufacturing process was the first ever to implement the assembly line. Lindbergh was the first man to ever fly non-stop over the Atlantic and live to tell the tale. Americans LOVE novelties, to be the first to/on the moon, the first one in the neighborhood, to be the first on the block with a [car]... Democrats indeed exploited the "historical" significance of the First Mulatto POTUS evah. Voters thought it worth their attention, and unfortunately, rationalized "that" was the only thing which mattered in their vote/choice. Given the choice was between First Ever and Electability Imitation, the results were a no brainer. Now, it takes a self-righteous fool to say that public perception of "what matters" holds no sway in electoral results. AS IF Republicans have no potential, worthy candidates who coincidentally would happen to be a "first ever". Rather, Rush is late on the draw, still ranting as if we're satisfied to stay stuck on stupid with the country club insiders' status quo on our backs. Just listen to their "electable" Obamalite excuse for changing rules at Conventionin order to force their insiders' "first ever" Mormon ticket v. "first ever" Black ticket. Electability v. First Ever yeah, a no brainer Hillary? LOL, Ms. Electability First Ever. She's cursed. But not if the GOP plunks another lame "promise them anything, just get their votes" candidates on that ticket. Then Clintonette has as good a chance to win her sweepstakes as anyone else. IF, however, a Constitutional Conservative campaigning on Inalienable Rights wins the opposition's ticket, such a candidate would draw support across the electoral board. Should that solid candidate coincidentally be a "first ever", the opposition to Clinton had better prove themselves above bigotry.

291 Here's a good example of a Death Panel working for you... Why on earth would you want to put those decisions in the hands of bureaucrats far removed from the point if decision making. There is a panel at every transplant program that convenes to make those decisions- locally. In fact, every transplant recipient gets vetted long before they are placed on a transplant list. I did liver transplants as part of my training and had the opportunity to witness/participate in the process. We have seen how the quality of representation declines the further our representatives are removed from their constituency.
