A Democrat Congressman, from the same party that wants to forbid any kind of ID Check in voting booths, DEMANDS the ID of a constituent wanting to ask a question. I shit you not, you can't make this stuff up. http://www.breitbart.tv/congressman-demands-to-see-constituents-id-before-allowing-town-hall-question/ According to Democrats, you shouldn't have to produce an ID to vote, but you damn well better have ID before you can ask a question of a Democrat CongressCritter. Go figger.... Michale..... Well, here's an interesting twist.

If we're going to have such significant additional government intrusion into our health care system, we will have to draw the privacy line somewhere. Maybe the House Democrats' current bill gets it right. Maybe it doesn't. But this vignette should be reason to be skeptical of claims that a massive and complex bill must be enacted so rapidly as its backers would have you believe.

It was supposed to be on his 51st birthday, but I read it's been postponed again. I guess they need to verify that Jackson was actually born in Hawaii... :D Michale...... Oh, that's right.

Unless you are on an island with no media access for about a week when it happens. -CW Michale -

Who knows... Who cares... The problem here is that, to date, Obama has taken the media for granted. He (and his administration) has assumed that they could control the media. And, to their credit, they were correct. As long as the ratings held and the public polls were with Obama. But, now we are seeing the reality seep into Camelot. It will be quite fascinating to see how the Obama Administration fares in August. I wager 500 quatloos that (bar'ing a Katrina style natural disaster) come Sep, there will be a whole new political ballgame. Michale.... I thought Jackson's funeral was last week?
