OFF TOPIC - Michelle Obama doing the Great Chicago Patient Shuffle:

The faster you can get treatment for a heart attack, the less damage to your heart muscle will be done. So hospitals measure "Door to Balloon time": The amount of time that passes between the patient arrives (comes through the door) and has a potentially life saving Angioplasty (Insertion and inflation of a balloon to open a blocked artery, hence "Door to Balloon time")

The Chicago Tribune ranked the hospitals in Illinois by percentage of Medicare patients with Door to Balloon times of 90 minutes or less, the current standard. According to them, the University of Chicago Medical Center (Michelle Obama's former employer, and the main culprit in the developing Patient Dumping scandal) ranked 17th, with 83% of Medicare patients receiving Angioplasty.

That's not a bad ranking or rating, actually. But the result is actually listed as 83%*. Now what could that * stand for? When you read the article, you see that * means "the number of cases was too small to determine a hospital’s performance reliably."

Chicago must be a pretty healthy city... A major medical center in the middle of a city of 3 million people, and very few heart attacks? Those Midwestern types must be pretty tough! Or perhaps the fact that the survey only counts MEDICARE patients has something to do with it?

Door to Balloon data for Illinois

I needed a laugh today, so Obama has provided me with one. The Administration will start going after international tax dodgers.

Let's ignore all the Democrats who skipped out on their patriotic duty to pay their full tax share. Let's go after international corporations or individuals who haven't paid taxes because of tax havens or other setups that allow them to avoid paying US taxes.

Let's ignore that Charles Rangel sits on the House Ways and Means chairmanship despite failing to pay thousands in taxes and multiple ethics flaps.

This is the last bastion of a government entity looking to find tax revenue when none is forthcoming from other sources. That's why we see states beefing up their compliance efforts and pushing to expand sales tax collection of Internet sales.

Frontpage headline last week,

Inside section, bottom of the page correction today:

Canadians not responsible for Afghan blast

Forensic evidence has removed any suspicion that Canadian munitions killed three children last week, military officials said Monday, contradicting angry villagers who believe Canadian troops were responsible.

In an unusually swift examination of the site about 15 kilometres west of Kandahar city where the children died, Canadian investigators found a blast pattern and bomb fragments that they said proves Canadian ordnance did not cause the deaths.

Brigadier-General Jon Vance, the Canadian commander in Kandahar, said the children probably picked up an improvised explosive device, a jury-rigged bomb commonly used by insurgents. “The only people that work with IEDs in this area are Taliban,” he said.

Apology from the Canadian media for running Taliban propaganda?

No where to be found.

This whole cycle of "Announce a falsehood, have the entire Left scream in outrage, then murmur under your breath that the original statement was untrue," is not simply an outline of the arc of this particular conspiracy theory; nor is it merely the prototype of all conspiracy theories believed by the Left; it is actually the model for the entire Leftist belief system.

Everything they think is true is actually untrue, and is often based on some biased or intentionally inflammatory or patently false media report or statistic or historical event.

You'd think that if someone on the left is proven wrong often enough* they'd think about things and grow up... but then when you're wealthy enough/in charge of own little world then they feel no need to stand for criticism... perhaps they just hold everyone else in contempt as little people who don't count... iirc Hugh turned over control of his rag to his daughter ages ago...

*when I was growing up playboy's non photo stuff was been slanted left since I can remember with the occasional rare "got it right" article etc... which is why I preferred, in the days of my wayward youth, Hustler... at least Larry Flynt took on assholes of all stripes and brooked none of the snooty high falutin' intellectual snootiness that oozes from lefties... haven't looked at either in decades but am hardly surprised at it...

Cafferty. Hack.

New to the Washington neighborhood, Michelle Obama has taken it upon herself to go around and introduce herself to the people in the various agencies of government. When's the last time a first lady did that? I don't ever remember it before. And during her visits she listens rather than lectures. And people respond to her.
I would have to ask WHY?
Why is the 1st lady hitting the various agencies of government. SHE isnt supposed to be involved in the government. ONCE AGAIN HILLARY, I mean MICHELLE: It is NOT a Co-Presidency.

Why is the 1st lady hitting the various agencies of government. SHE isnt supposed to be involved in the government. ONCE AGAIN HILLARY, I mean MICHELLE: It is NOT a Co-Presidency.


They respond because they don't want her to beat the crap out of them, and she is doing it because she is wearing the pants and plans on having a lot of influence in how things are done.

It drives me bonkers, this assumption that "First Lady" is somehow a public office; that the First Lady is supposed to "do" something. WE DIDN'T ELECT MICHELLE.

(And yes, I'll feel the same way about a "First Gentleman". AFAIK, Dennis Thatcher didn't attempt to run part of Maggie's government; he just went on with his business. That's the way it should be.)

...The Playboy folks, meanwhile, miss two things. One is that, as reader Miles Wilson noted, these protests predate Santelli. The other is that modern technology allows a bunch of people who don’t know each other to coordinate a nationwide campaign “suspiciously” well. Somebody should write a book on that subject some day.

I 'borrowed' this from the now defunct sacredcowburgers site. I asked Jay Dyson the same thing. He told me there weren't, but that he had no problem with me copying the artwork and making posters, shirts, etc. The image was so small that enlarged you unfortunately get the lack of clarity.

Believing a few feeble demos by a "party" that sounds like it's an invitation to watercress sandwiches and scones, one without a program or a plan of any kind, one where people bring their Ron Paul Rloveution eighteenth-century "patriot" costumes out of mothballs (thank God, another chance to dress up and parade around like a twit!) - believing that will accomplish anything more than the moonbats do with their giant puppet heads, is the very definition of pitiful.

the people who went had fun. they enjoyed being around like minded
citizens. the event did get publicity and such gatherings inspire others who are tired of O and his war on our economy.
this is how a movement that means something can start and make a difference.

Why were there so many sites and organizations online and live within minutes or hours after his rant, leading to a nationwide protest just a week after his rant?

Santellis rants are always spontaneous. Thats what he does.

He went to a sensation so quick and there were "so many sites and organizations online and live within minutes or hours after his rant, leading to a nationwide protest just a week after his rant" because his words resonated with so many people that it went viral.

I have been sleeping a lot like this, lately.

My dog has been taking this Obama Recession/Depression quite hard, the poor old boy.

re: #242 MandyManners

The only Republicans who know how to organize a protest are the Cubans in Miami. They can get 200,000 people out on the streets within 24 hours to protest Castro. During the 2000 election contest, they did better than that. There was this wonderful TV shot of Al Sharpton getting off the plane in Miami, with thousands of Cuban-Republican protesters screaming for Bush around him. He turned to then N.Y. Governor George Pataki, and nervously said, "Is it safe here?" Pataki replied with a smirk, "You'll be all right, Reverend."

A classic moment in American politics.

Playboy has articles?

Playboy even has has photographs.

(Shortly expect the Mattel Barbie doll to be the Playmate of the Month.)

re: #250 nyc redneck

there were no puppet heads or costumes at the rally in nyc.
someone posted photos of the event. just regular looking nice people.
lots of great signs. 150 people showed up. i'm going to try to make it to the next one.

There was one in Atlanta, too, but I haven't seen pictures. I would expect fewer puppet heads and more barbecue here. Now I'm wondering which one Cato is talking about.

Playboy brushes over their stories like it's one of their models' boobs Except the boobs at least LOOK real.

You registered two accounts within 3 minutes. The rules warn very explicitly that if you do that, both accounts will be blocked.

289 TOPSPIN LOB  Tue, Mar 3, 2009 12:53:49pm

From that esteemed political pamphlet Playboy:

"and funders of scores of rightwing thinktanks and advocacy groups, from the Cato Institute and Reason Magazine to FreedomWorks."

You just can't make this stuff up.

Look out! Run for the hills! We're doomed, I tells ya! Cato and Reason wanna cut taxes and get rid of the Dept. of Commerce. Scaaarrryyy! Reason magazine was against the war in Iraq, in favor of drug legalization and don't seem to have a problem with smut. Rightwing?

Message to Playboy: stick to boobs, thanks.

What these leftwing clowns don't realize is in a world run by Cato/Reason magazine types, Playboy would continue to exist. In a world run the, say the Nation or the New Republic or the H*#*&^ton Post, Playboy would eventually get banned by some New Age nanny stater, and then they's sing Kumbaya, My Gaia, where are my boobs?!

292 Wm T Sherman  Tue, Mar 3, 2009 12:59:51pm

What? A flakey, frivolus, bogus report appeared in a porno magazine? The final remaining bastion of journalistic integrity crumbles to the ground.

293 Oxnuts  Tue, Mar 3, 2009 1:06:27pm

This was on one of the front pages at Digg. They were absolutely drooling over the find. I doubt this article will make the front page. F'ers.

I was surprised by the size of the last issue, ads must be way way down. The boob to ad ratio, was heavily weighted towards boob...not that it is a bad thing.

WSJ bashes the O.
[Link: online.wsj.com...]

"The dismaying message here is that President Obama's policies have become part of the economy's problem."

Oh, reeeaaaly? About time someone noticed.

297 MJBrutus  Tue, Mar 3, 2009 1:40:00pm

Anyone who's seen even 5 minutes of this horror movie we're living in knows that the "vicious right wing attack machine" couldn't organization a roach rodeo in Hotlanta in the summer time, let alone manage pull of "the launch event of a carefully organized and sophisticated PR campaign, one in which Santelli served as a frontman, using the CNBC airwaves for publicity."

298 Cato the Elder  Tue, Mar 3, 2009 1:40:04pm

re: #232 nyc redneck

the people who went had fun. they enjoyed being around like minded
citizens. the event did get publicity and such gatherings inspire others who are tired of O and his war on our economy.
this is how a movement that means something can start and make a difference.
it's fine if you don't want to get involved but your negativity seems a bit extreme. why rain on their parade w/ such bitterness.

I'm not bitter at all - I'm laughing.

I do wonder why the same people weren't out there protesting Bush and his war on "our" economy.

But the people who go to these events are not my enemies, and when all is said and done, to each his own. I'm not a sign-holding, crowd-joining kind of Roman. You'll find me at my villa reading and writing, not in the Forum making rhetorical gestures.

Scribo ergo sum.

Afternoon,
The NYC Tea Party was photographed by this guy, 85 images
[Link: www.jeffsmithphoto.net...]
and video was made by this guy for youtube, 35+ videos I believe.
[Link: www.youtube.com...]
Neither is me.

The sign about Recession, Depression, and Recovery is my favorite. Photo 78.
