Bipartisan Tragedy by digby I quoted David Gergen earlier saying that public opinion may cause the final bill to ultimately fail, which I agree may be remotely possible. But that's the last rational thing he said all night. At the moment of the passage of the cloture vote in the Senate, he blurted this out: In my judgment it's a tragedy for the country to have a bill this important, a historic piece of legislation, pass with only one ...

Oftentimes that phrase is used Holocaust deniers. But the Holocaust was a historical fact. We're talking here about science, and science usually welcomes opposing views. Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday , December 13, 2009 Chris Wallace acts very much like the Holocaust deniers he derides, working hard to confuse any distinction between fact and fraud, opinion and lies. He and his Fox News cohorts have relentlessly touted the ...

(In light of the Sneate vote, let me refrash a posting I had here two months ago) Yip yip ya-hoo (as Limbaugh would say). The Dems health care plan, as you probably know, will cover 94% of the U.S. population. Let’s have a drink to celebrate. But hold that one, because if you are currently uninsured, you still have a 50% chance of staying this way even if the Dem plan gets signed by Obama.Here are the simple numbers…The U.S. ...

So no filibuster. Well, something sort of good for a change. Though, I don't really think there is too much of value left in the health care legislation. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/12/...ote/index.html

By Madeleine Kunin I don't agree with Howard Dean. Yes, we are from the same state and he was once my Lt Governor, but, unlike Howard, I say vote for the bill and dramatically expand health insurance now. His assumption in asking Democrats to kill the Senate bill is that next time around, we'll get something better. I think we'll get nothing at all. Experience tells us that ever since Harry Truman asked for universal access to health ...

Four years after taking over as leader of the Britain's Conservative Party, David Cameron, 43, may be months away from becoming the first Tory prime minister since 1997. His party's lead over Labour, which topped 20 points in mid-2008, has narrowed to a still-comfortable 12. An election must be held before June 3. If the Tories win, Cameron will inherit a mess. Expected to be the last G20 nation to emerge from recession, Britain has one of ...
