Health care e-mail from the White House

I don't follow this stuff at all, but since the bout was in San Jose, it was on the local TV news. They were showing the news conference and them posing for the camera yesterday. Carano was laughing and smiling, while Cyborg was all serious. I thought then that she was going to be creamed.

Mighty Taco and Ted's -- Esquire ranks the best!
Wacka replied to Fezmid's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Three places, no seating, open till 5 AM, employees more wasted than the customers, ordering two Super Mightys and getting four (the employees forgot they made them), employee diabolically laughing when pumping more hot sauce onto your extra hot Super Mighty, being used as a human shield by someone getting beat up in the middle of Bailey Ave, hittting all the bars on the Elmwood Strip and hitting Mighty Taco at the end, realizing you're getting older when the number of bars hit on Elmwood is lower and the time for MT is earlier. -
The problem with cells getting resistant to chemo is a naturally occurring pathway that gets amplified. Cells have pumps to remove toxins from their interior. At first, the chemo gets in and kills the cells. Then one or a few tumor cells amplify the gene for the pump (sometimes hundreds of copies). As soon as the chemo enters, it gets pumped out of the cell and cannot kill it.

Some citizens filmed the newest Arlen Specter "town hall". They got there very early, but were not let in. Up pulls 3 buses full of SIEU and Acorn members from Pittsburgh (the "town hall" was a ways away from Pittsburgh)- they had their buttons and t-shirts on, so no mistaking who they were. They were let in ahead of the locals. Obama's Montana campaign stop was said to be a "first come first served" ticket giveaway, but the giveaway wasn't announced until all the local dem machinery was notified. By then, no more tickets available. People are not stupid as you limousine (or in your case nozzlenut, BMW) liberals think so. THe average person is sick and tired of the bull sh-- coming from Obama and his propaganda machine. I'm reminded of the saying "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining." -

You keep saying there was no official bill,then what were they rushing to try to vote on last week? You want reform. Start open detailed hearings about each part. The hearings should last about a year, not two weeks. Start with tort reform. This will lower malpractice insurance, lowering doctors costs. Cut out all care except for lifesaving help for illegals. They don't get the free stuff, they will move.See how that works for a while. If it works, then move onto other stuff. -
What usually happens is that the scientific paper discusses a model or new finding. The press gets hold of it and hypes it up, and people think a cure is just around the corner. The process from discovery to drug takes a long time, even if it makes it that far.

(Lamp) Not sure whether to be happy or sad
Wacka replied to plenzmd1's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I don't get the sending kids to camp thing. I'm not putting you down for it. All summer, I had stuff to do around the yard. Got it done by noon and went to my friends. When my dad had vacations, we helped him with remodeling and repairs around the house. Is it just to get the kids out of your hair for the summer? I would have taken the $ spent and put it in the kid's college fund instead. Most of the time our "vacation " was Niagara Falls. -

Obama 'Joker' poster suspect questioned....

Did they go after the people putting up the "Kill Bush"posters? How about going after all those posters advertising untalented bands and wacko lefty causes for forever? -
Colbert is another liberal asshat like Stewart. I commend him for going to visit the troops and shaving his head, but it is obvious he is another liberal making fun of the right. I caught the daily show a bit when Craig Kilborn was on it, but when Stewart started, I caught a few, saw he was unfunny and haven't watched it since. South Park is a lot funnier.

Rep Shirley Jackson-Lee...doing the 2-step
Wacka replied to The Poojer's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
From Wiki: Sheila Jackson Lee - Publicity-Seeking Critics complain that Jackson Lee has a tendency to volunteer unsolicited on-camera commentary and press statements on a wide range of political issues, such as a 2003 request to use more African American-sounding names when naming hurricanes and tropical storms, feeling the current selections were too "lily white." [1] This has caused conservative critics to nickname her "Hurricane Sheila." Citing the hurricane incident, conservative pundit and former CBS correspondent Bernard Goldberg included Jackson-Lee in his book 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America, ranking her #98. Jackson Lee volunteered herself as an unsolicited advocate for the father of Elián González in the international custody controversy and reportedly spends hours seeking out prime seating locations in the House of Representatives chamber to increase her camera visibility for special events such as the State of the Union address. She was also one of the few members of Congress to come to the defense of Michael Jackson during an ongoing criminal investigation of the pop star [2]. She also attracted controversy in 2003 by meeting with Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and offering to sponsor a visit for the controversial leader to the United States. According to the gossip columnist of a local free paper, The Houston Press, the congresswoman's reputation as a "floor hog" has also given rise to a humorous betting game among Capitol Hill staffers in other member's offices in which quarters are deposited into a jar each time she speaks. The office staff in possession of the jar when a whole day goes by without Jackson Lee speaking wins and gets to keep the contents [3]. Sheila Jackson Lee - Other criticism According to the Houston Press and The Hill, Jackson Lee has also reportedly been involved in several altercations with airline flight personnel over her requests for a complimentary upgrade to first class based on her celebrity. [4] The Press reports one altercation, which Jackson Lee later denied, she loudly derided a staffer over her travel arrangements: "You don't understand. I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen." Another altercation onboard an airplane was reported by The Hill. During a full flight on Continental Airlines Jackson Lee was denied a complimentary upgrade to first class. According to a witness interviewed by the Capitol Hill newpaper, "When she saw that she had to sit with other people, she started shouting that she was in Congress and worked hard. She was really loud. Everybody in the plane could hear." Later in the flight she is reported to have had a "friendly visit" with the displaced passengers. [5] The Press further reports that Jackson Lee has a reputation on capitol hill as a "high-maintenance" employer and has exhibited one of the largest staff turnover rates for years [6]. Several former employees have cited her demeanor and incidents such as the travel arrangement altercations as a major reason why so many staffers leave her office. The Houston Chronicle reported that one staffer even quit after she threw a cell phone at him.[7] Sheila Jackson Lee - Alleged use of the race card and gender card Other critics have charged Jackson Lee with frequent political race baiting to obtain political goals. In a 2002 incident Jackson Lee became engaged in a shouting match with Republican Dana Rohrabacher, the Chairman of the NASA subcomittee, after Rohrabacher ruled her out of order for exceeding her allotted time for questions. Jackson Lee snapped back at Rohrabacher, "I'm the only member that you comment on. It may be that I'm the only African-American woman sitting here."[8][9] Rohrabacher responded, "Ms. Jackson Lee, that type of charge is beneath you. It is beneath your dignity." Jackson Lee also accused the Harris County (Houston) Republican Party of racism after an email it sent to members criticizing the local Democratic congressional delegation included a photograph of her but not the Democratic "white male" members from other Houston districts, despite the fact that the email was one of a series that did, in fact, include her white male Democrat colleagues. Continential told her to never fly with them again. And yes, she asked if the Mars Pathfinder could photograph the flag the astronauts planted om Mars. She was at Mission Control at the time (which is in her district) -

This is the spam that the Fox News reporter at today's White House Press conference said people who have never contacted the White House for anything have been getting today. He asked Gibbs if the White House was buying mailing lists and Gibbs hemmed and hawed and didn't answer the question. -
