Barney Frank wants Government control of all Salaries

That would be the pay for performance act of 2009.

Yes Barney has big ideas for all of us. He wants the government to decide how much all employees are paid. This is the ultimate in government control of our lives, maybe even more profound than the control of health care.

Now this pay for PERFORMANCE, idea.......... does it extend to those guys who were EMPLOYED by Barney Frank's former room mate, who was running that special little business out of the good Senator's apartment. ???

Well, maybe not. Even though this performance act is supposed to be retroactive, it appears to apply to companies while they are being federally funded.

It does raise some questions as to what kinds of salaries and performances a giant, newly created bureaucracy might be reviewing.

Could your colonoscopy transmit HIV infection?

Possibly it could if your VA hospital in Florida didn't disinfect the water pumps used for the colonoscopy procedures.

If you're one of the lucky patients who visited the Miami, FL Veterans Administration hospital since 2004, for colonoscopy, you might have been exposed to HIV or Hepatitis through the use of a water pump which was not fully disinfected after the previous procedure.

Dial 305-575-7256 or 877-577-7256 if you have any concerns. The VA hospital staff are searching for 700 patients who have not yet been contacted regarding this possible exposure.

It would be accurate to say that the infection risk is possible, not probable, but insufficient cleaning between examination procedures is not a selling point for the VA model of socialized medicine.

Learn a little More about Lila Rose

........ the UCLA student who has been kicking Planned Parenthood hard. The video and audio data collected by her group has opened up several state investigations of Planned Parenthood.

As you might suspect, Planned Parenthood is in defensive mode, and very concerned about avoiding more video footage made by Lila and Live Action Films. They've got pics of Lila Rose up at their clinics, apparently, so she might be recognized before filming another worker, willing to cover up the sexual abuse of minors.

Follow the above link, and note again that Live Action Films video channel is featured in the sidebar of this blog.

Leftgrrrrrrrrls manifesto of women's rights

I was looking at some commentary regarding Hillary's shiny new Margaret Sanger Award, and wondered: 'Who would want such a thing???'.

Leftist whackjobs, that's who.

Regarding Hillary's comments about women's Rights, I compiled a quick list of some new "rights" that leftists have assigned to us.

Leftistgrrrrl Manifesto of Women's "Rights"

1) Women have the "right" to be sexually molested prior to, during, and shortly after puberty.

2) Women have the "right" to be given the morning after pill (or other chemical abortifacient) without their knowledge by the direct provider of above mentioned "right" number 1.

3)Women have the "right" at any age to be told that they should abort their child if they are raped, or molested.

4)Women have the "right" to recieve birth control drugs containing hormones listed by WHO as carcinogenic, and which now must be packaged with safe handling labels.

5)Women have the"right" to be lied to about the mechanisms and side effects of drugs mentioned in #4.

6)Women have the "right" to bear the brunt of the burden of bodily alteration through hormone use, as their partners most often refuse to assume such responsibilities

7) Women have the"right" to be told that they should abort their child if it has untoward fetal diagnosis (likely to have a disability).

8) Women in socialized medicine systems have the "right" to be forced to abort if they have too many kids, or in the case of untoward fetal diagnosis.

9)Women of school age have the "right" to be given drugs at their schools, or to be driven to get an abortion by school counselors without parental consent.

10)Women have the "right" to be used as a sex toy by perverted old politicians and judges, (and those who pay them off), and found dead after the usefulness has diminished.

I bet you can identify many more.

Gingrich Turns Catholic

Christianity Today Blog cites a deeply buried line in a NYT story announcing that Newt Gingrich will be converting to Catholicism. If that is according to normal scheduling, the formal recognition would occur on the night before Easter. Keep your ears open.

Newt's third wife, Callista Bisek is a likely inspiration for this change, though Newt has been studing this religion business for awhile, resulting in a 2006 book entitled "Rediscovering God in America".

UK's Daniel Hannan spanks Gordon Brown before European Parliament

LOOK, OBAMA!!!! NO TELEPROMPTER!!!!

Abortion Chain Owner, Bud Feldman suffers Tragic Loss

Irving (Bud) Feldkamp, owner of the nation's largest for-profit abortion chain, Family Planning Associates,
has suffered the tragic loss of two of his children their families, and friends, in a plane crash in Montana. The families were flying to a ski vacation resort in a plane, owned by Bud Feldman.

Ice on the wings is one suspected cause of the tragic crash which claimed the lives of the 14 people aboard. Others cite that the plane was well loaded with passengers, and that this might have contributed to the troubles.

Pro lifers are praying for the deceased, and praying that their parents, Bud and Pam Feldkamp recognize this grievous milepost as a call to remove themselves from the abortion business and repent. Prayers are also for their son, Irving M Feldkamp IV, identified in this site as president of Family Planning Associates.

US District Court orders Plan B OTC for 17 year old girls

Once more establishing the view that girls are to be used for sex, but not reproduction, The U.S. district Court for Eastern New York has decreed that the FDA must reconsider its decision to limit over the counter availability of the morning after pill to adults (over 18). Availability to younger women as been by prescription, except in circumstances of the pills being purchased by adult men for minor girls.

While this court decision is not earth shattering, since pedophiles have been able to purchase the pills for girls whom they statutorily, or forcibly rape, it does serve to identify and reaffirm the perversion of the left wing, and its voracious appetite for sex with the pediatric population.

Lifenews reveals Judge Edward R. Korman to be responsible for this court order that Plan B be made available to minors of 17 years almost immediately, while its distribution to younger girls is reconsidered.

Based on this, one wonders if Judge Korman has vested interest in the financial future of abortion providers, or if there are other interests of a more personal nature.

The actual science of the matter is that Plan B has been found to be less effective than any other hormonal birth control of prescription variety, also ranking below the effectiveness of condoms and somewhere near that of the withdrawal method. See the Plan B information for the health care provider. Look at the chart!

Ignoring the fact that Plan B has largely an interceptive (abortive of early embryos) mechanism, the drug is simply ineffective, and has been associated with an increase in demand for later term abortion interventions. While giving data to substantiate the preceding statement, this study explicitly concludes that Plan B distribution does not reduce demand for later abortions. Repeating once more... Plan B does not work well enough to be relied upon for birth control.

Continuing the current trajectory of "family planning", the distribution of birth control chemicals in the U.S. will soon be as unregulated as in the countries most known for the sex slave trade. It's reasonable to conclude that the left wing wants your underage offspring to be available for sex.

There is zero concern demonstrated for girls' emotional or physical health.

Are you going to support this with your votes? Are you going to continue to work hard to pay taxes for this?

Government Stimulus using Chinese Condoms

Such a DEAL!!!!
The latest portion of the Obama stimulus package involves a switch from U.S. made condoms to those made off shore, including imports from China.

In a move expected to cost 300 jobs, the government which said it would buy American whenever possible has decided to save money by going after the lowest bidder for its prophylactic devices. The manufacturer to bear the brunt of this cost is an Alabama plant called Alatech, which will likely have to close due to this government decision.

At issue is the desire for thinner condoms, though it is known that these are more prone to breakage. The Chinese manufacturers are said to be learning to make better condoms. Who wants to find out the hard way?

My advice is to avoid the company which makes Planned Parenthood's supply since consumer reports rated them worst in a comparison test.

On Bioethicists

The purpose of bioethicists is to formulate excuses for those who desire to kill human beings, for one reason or another.

The main focus is to create a system in which human value becomes dependent on relationships or to job function. This places the unborn, disabled or very sick human beings into very killable categories.

A really effective bioethicist can make a person feel much better while contemplating the killing, as well as in the aftermath. Inventing creative uses for the bodies of the dead helps to expiate the guilt that normal people used to associate with killing other humans. So this has become a significant corollary field of bioethics.

Special Athletes

Affirming my previous comment about the athletes in the Special Olympics, Kolan McConiughey, their top bowler, states that he "can beat the president". He's bowled a good number of perfect games. (That means a 300 score, for you liberals). McConiughey advises the president to practice every day.

The Giant Intellect of the Pope

Yes--- while the Leader of the Free World stumbles when not accompanied by the Teleprompter, the 81 year old Pontiff proceeds quite well without one, in multiple languages.

Witness the Pope's reply, when asked if the Church's approach to the AIDS problem in Africa is unrealistic:

Benedict XVI:

"I would say the opposite. I think that the reality that is most effective, the most present and the strongest in the fight against AIDS, is precisely that of the Catholic Church, with its programs and its diversity. I think of the Sant'Egidio Community, which does so much visibly and invisibly in the fight against AIDS ... and of all the sisters at the service of the sick.

"I would say that one cannot overcome this problem of AIDS only with money -- which is important, but if there is no soul, no people who know how to use it, (money) doesn't help.

"One cannot overcome the problem with the distribution of condoms. On the contrary, they increase the problem.

"The solution can only be a double one: first, a humanization of sexuality, that is, a spiritual human renewal that brings with it a new way of behaving with one another; second, a true friendship even and especially with those who suffer, and a willingness to make personal sacrifices and to be with the suffering. And these are factors that help and that result in real and visible progress.

"Therefore I would say this is our double strength -- to renew the human being from the inside, to give him spiritual human strength for proper behavior regarding one's own body and toward the other person, and the capacity to suffer with the suffering. ... I think this is the proper response and the church is doing this, and so it offers a great and important contribution. I thank all those who are doing this."

Ok, Barack, don't try doing this without your teleprompter. You haven't got a prayer.

Liberals, Listen up........ because the Head of Harvard's AIDS Prevention Research Project concurs with the Pope. (You see, the Pope watches the science.) Both Dr. Edward C Green, and Pope Benedict know that studies are NOT showing condom distribution to be causing a decrease in the spread of HIV. A paradoxical increase is seen instead, over the last 25 years of effort, and the cause is behavioral.

Dr Green:
“There is, a consistent association shown by our best studies, including the U.S.-funded ‘Demographic Health Surveys,’ between greater availability and use of condoms and higher (not lower) HIV-infection rates. This may be due in part to a phenomenon known as risk compensation, meaning that when one uses a risk-reduction ‘technology’ such as condoms, one often loses the benefit (reduction in risk) by ‘compensating’ or taking greater chances than one would take without the risk-reduction technology.”

Obama: "like special olympics or something"

That's how Obama says he's a bad bowler......... but I think the special olympics athletes are often quite accomplished. Get the guy away from his teleprompter, and it's one public relations gaffe after another.

Obama has this in store for US

The conditions at Stafford hospital in Central England have been likened to the third world in an official report, from Britain's health care watchdog. This has prompted an apology from Prime Minister Brown.

This is the model of medical care which Obama has in store for us. Knowing what it is like, in advance, before he subjects us to it, you can expect no apologies in the future.

There are between 400 and 1200 "extra deaths" reported has having occurred at the Stafford hospital over a three year period.

Legal persecution of Rev Walter Hoye

Do keep yourself updated on the progress of Rev Walter Hoye, who is being persecuted for protesting abortion.

Rev. Hoye is the Executive Elder at the Progressive Baptist Church in Berkeley and stands outside of the local abortion clinic with a friendly demeanor and easy-going signage: "Jesus [God] loves you and your baby. Let us help you."

The Reverend has presented himself complete with video evidence of his peaceful demeanor and will, over time, provide an excellent test of the unconstitutional bubble laws in Oakland CA.

AIG Charade on Capitol Hill

Members of both parties on capitol hill are participating in the scapegoating of AIG, in a totally bogus theater production. We're being played for patsies.

AIG got the first round of bailout money from the Bush bailout, and a second round from the Obama Pack of Pork. Recall that AIG really is a laundry for processing the payments to multitudinous banks, since AIG underwrote a huge number of loans gone bad.

Written into the Obama Pack of Pork by Chris Dodd is permission for AIG to honor all its preexisting contracts. This includes all the bonuses which have been the subject of the current B.S. theater production.

Obama is claiming to not have known about this little detail of his Pork Package.

Remember that this bill had to be passed on Friday, an Ohio senator had to be flown into DC that night to vote for it, then Obama took a three day weekend before he signed it on Tuesday.

Obama's teleprompter forgot about this, and told Obama to tell us that he was unaware of the AIG bonuses and the special permission written into the Pack of Pork for AIG to honor these preexisting contractual obligations ..... and that he is OUTRAGED!

OOPS!

This would be an argument for remembering to read a bill before signing it, but Obama doesn't have the intellect to digest this stuff. We'll see plenty more of the same charade.

Read this Washington Post article to see Dodd supposedly protesting the bonuses for which he had earlier written provisions.

Read about an Iowa senator, Charles Grassley (R) telling business executives (likely from profitable portions of AIG, who had fulfilled their contractual obligations) that they should commit suicide. He later explained that this was just rhetoric.

See Democrats proposing to tax or otherwise extort the bonuses from people who have earned them. Credit the tax cheat, Rep. Charles Rangel who has started this process.

See executives, in fear for their safety, after having been scapegoated by the government, give up their legally earned bonuses.

Dodd and Obama are the number one and number two recipients of AIG campaign fund payouts.

Obama is an incompetent, and disingenuous boob. Most of the members of our Congress are no better. We need to clean house in 2010. Join a TEA party today.

Clinton AND Gupta do NOT know what an EMBRYO is

If you listen to this video, you'll know it. Neither the supposed neurosurgeon, Sanjay Gupta (who turned down the Surgeon General job offered by Obama) nor Bill Clinton have a clue. They DON'T know what an EMBRYO IS!. Listen to Clinton saying that the embryos used for research AREN'T Fertilized ! DUH!!!! Gupta fails to correct him.

Caligula Pelosi needs military aircraft for taxi service

It doesn't require genius diagnostic skill to determine that Caligula (Nancy's new first name) Pelosi is completely nutz. That look in her eyes is only partially due to the fact that her face has been pulled tight and her eyelids can't fully close.

That Pelosi thinks she's the empress of America is apparent from her expectation that military aircraft be made available to shuttle her from Washington to San Francisco when she needs a little nutritional supplement of organic fruits and nuts.

The excesses of this same woman, who can castigate productive businessmen for their use of corporate jets, are legendary. Caligula Pelosi feels even more entitled than Al Gore, to her large carbon footprint.

Our new Democrats-gone-wild have insufficient conscience to feel embarrassment when their flagrant hypocrisy is publicly revealed.

Nero Obama kills Bush Order for Adult Stem Cell Research

Hidden from public view is the fact that Nero Obama (yes, that's his new nic) has killed an executive order of President Bush to push for more adult stem cell research. As the results show, adult stem cell research has yielded treatments, and embryonic stem cell research has yielded tumors.

Obama, however has such an extreme attachment to killing humans early in development, that he has overturned the Bush order to stop tax funding of creating and killing new humans for research. His psychotic need for vengeance against those who refuse to participate in his killing agenda has caused him to stop support for the research which works, and which does not destroy human life.

Follow THIS LINK to the action of obama, and look at the last line, which shows revocation of Bush's executive support of ADULT stem cell research. This is the part you will not hear in the mainstream media. It should serve as additional evidence that you are wasting time if you rely on the television networks or the AP for coverage of the news.

Nero Obama is an extremely sick guy.

Father of Canadian Health Care admits it's a failure.

The Father of the Canadian socialized health care system, Claude Castonguay, has after 30 years, admitted that it's a failure. After years of sending their most critical cases to the United States to get timely treatment, his current prescription is to increase privatization.

For a single example, Ontario has sent at least 164 cases since 2006 to the U.S. for neurological cases needing emergency treatment, according to the above linked Investors Business Daily article.

Patients visiting northern U.S. hospitals speak of the high population of Canadians receiving treatment concurrently with them.

There is a Canadian industry which lines up U.S. physicians to give timely care to Canadians who have enough money.

As European countries and Canada consider returning to privatized medicine, Obama is plotting to give US increased socialization, that is: Failure Care.

It would reduce social security payouts, however.

Professor calls Campus Police due to Student speech topic

Student John Wahlberg commented on the issue of school violence in a class presentation at Central Connecticut State University. He commented that lives might have been saved at Virginia tech if students had been been permitted to carry concealed weapons.

As people might remember, the gun ban on the campus of Virginia Tech did not prevent the slaughter which occurred there.

The instructor of the Communications class, Prof. Paula Anderson came unglued, and called the campus police, who interrogated Wahlberg regarding his own ownership of guns. Since Wahlberg has violated no laws, he remains free as a student on campus.

The refreshing thing to see in this Connecticut campus newspaper is the comment section. Some of the students have obviously not succumbed to leftist dementia. It's worth a read.

R U a medical type?

Did you know that one of the tests to ascertain brain death, is to potentially add more injury using a 10 minute apnea test? (This means turning off the ventilator and waiting to see if the patient can breathe on his own during a 10 minute period.) Dr. Cicero Coimbra, a neurologist in Brazil, argues that the test isn't such a bright idea, and is a contributing cause of deaths.

Here's a fun debate regarding the ethical considerations of brain death and its diagnosis, held at the BMJ.

Frank WANTS a SPANKING!!

YES!

He said it. Barney Frank wants a SPANKING. He's pushing for criminal and civil penalties for the main players in the financial crisis.

And one of the most powerful, key players to lead Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac into the toilet is
Barney Frank, the house financial services chairman. Sooooooo

Assume the position, Senator!

Obama ALWAYS has a TELEPROMPTER

Yep, this is from the Politico.......... Obama just can't function without a teleprompter, even at the smallest events. The video embedded here shows the shadow of the prompter limiting visibility of Obama's spotlighted face.
Media photographers complain that it's quite difficult to get a shot of Obama without the teleprompter.

Why don't people want to work for the Obama administration?

Sanjay Gupta turned down an informal offer of the Surgeon General job from the Obama administration, citing family and professional reasons. Methinks that it has more to do with Dr. Gupta's ability to recognize a DEAD END when he sees one.

Neurosurgeon Gupta normally is seen as a pretty face on CNN and other media, discussing medical matters. Likely with the busy media career, he isn't doing much surgery anyway, but he cited an unwillingness to leave his practice and his family, with kid number three on the way.

In a different dept of the same cabinet...... Tax Cheat Timothy Geithner has received a rejection from Annette Nasereth, his choice for deputy treasury secretary. He's been criticised for the slow hiring of senior staff, and not having staff present at key meetings with legislators. Possibly people are reluctant to help enforce tax collection while working for a known tax cheat. The position of undersecretary for international affairs is also left unfilled as Geither also received a refusal from Caroline Atkinson.

Another fatherless child brought to you by John Edwards

What is this about liberal guys leaving their kids behind if the mom doesn't abort them?

Here's another shining example from John Edwards, vice presidential candidate who ran with John Kerry.

Frances Quinn Hunter, celebrated his first birthday with no father around. His mother, Rielle Hunter has admirably avoided compounding her original error by whining in the news, writing a tell all book, or otherwise making a spectacle of herself.

There remains no evidence of child support coming from daddy Edwards. NOT a surprise.

Global warming cult requires warmer weather

Extensive news coverage was provided for the global warming rally of 2500 people in Washington DC. These VIPs who seem to have knowledge transcending the available meteorological data, braved a significant, and unseasonable snowstorm to protest the man made global warming.

On the other hand, the coverage of the annual pro-life rally in the cold of January, which regularly draws two or three hundred thousand participants, brought only one direct visit from the media. All other mainstream coverage of the rally was secondary, relying on the single report, or on the pro-life news sources online.
