US military: Iran nuclear bomb would be calamitous
Published: 05.21.09, 22:19 / Israel News

The consequences of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon would be "calamitous" and major powers must act together to prevent it, the top US Military officer said on Thursday.

Hum, but your boss says no rush no worries?

Why do they call him "Marvin the Paranoid Android"? He just seems very depressed to me. They make Prozac for robots?

The Obamacare to Come
Dems’ health-care plans do not provide the reform most Americans seek.

...An employer mandate. Employers would be required to insure their workers through a “pay or play” mandate. Those who did not provide “meaningful coverage” for their workers would pay a penalty, equal to some percentage of their payroll, into a national fund that would provide insurance to uncovered workers. Such a mandate is, of course, simply a disguised tax on employment. As Princeton University professor Uwe Reinhardt, the dean of health-care economists, points out, “[That] the fiscal flows triggered by mandate would not flow directly through the public budgets does not detract from the measure’s status of a bona fide tax.” Estimates suggest that an employer mandate could cost 1.6 million jobs over the first five years.

An individual mandate. As is the case with an employer mandate, an individual mandate is essentially a disguised tax. It is also the first in a series of dominoes that will lead to greater government control of the health-care system.

To implement an insurance mandate, the government will have to define what sort of insurance fulfills it. As the CBO puts it, “an individual mandate . . . would require people to purchase a specific service that would have to be heavily regulated by the federal government.” At the very least, deductible levels and lifetime caps will have to be specified, and a minimum-benefits package will likely be spelled out. This means the oft-repeated promise that “if you are happy with your current insurance, you can keep it” is untrue. Millions of Americans who are currently satisfied with their coverage will have to give it up and purchase the insurance the government wants them to have, even if the new insurance is more expensive or covers benefits the buyer does not want. ...

...Comparative- and cost-effectiveness research. In an attempt to control health-care costs, the government would undertake research to determine which health-care procedures and technologies are most effective and, more ominously, cost-effective. Of course, there is a great deal of waste in the U.S. health-care system, and if the government’s goal were simply to provide better information there would be little cause for concern. But there is every reason to believe such research would be used to impose restrictions on how medicine is practiced. For example, some reform advocates have said that when an insurance company fails to comply with government practice guidelines, workers should no longer be able to exempt the value of that company’s plans from their taxable income.

There is no doubt that other countries use comparative-effectiveness research as the basis for rationing. For example, in Great Britain, the National Institute on Clinical Effectiveness makes such decisions, including a controversial determination that certain cancer drugs are “too expensive.” The U.K. government effectively puts a price tag on each citizen’s life — about $44,305 (£30,000) per year, to be exact, under NICE’s guidelines. ...

Health care rationing is on the way.

Thanks, Obama and Democrat voters.

USS Cole's commander Kirk Lipphold (sp?) will not go quietly into the leftist camp of "we Americans are creating more terrorsts"! Poor guy's ship was attacked by Al Qaeda in October 2000 and Al Gore/Bill Clinton did next to nothing besides send lawyers though 17 US sailors died horribly on their watch.

Relax folks, I predicted in November that Obama would be a neutered president by October of 2009. He appears to be beating that trend by a couple of weeks at least. Israel is going to be fine. We members of the Jewish faith survived Haman and Hitler. Obama, while dangerous in his policies, is also inept. Israel will stop Iran from their plot, the world will condemn her, while simultaneously breathing a sigh of relief. Like all crises, this too shall pass.

The pissing match between the White House and Dick Cheney is somewhat amusing. The White House insisted on continuing to campaign against the Bush Administration well after Obama won the election and even after Obama took office. And Cheney held his tongue for awhile. But all of the Bush/Cheney bashing from Obama and his minions finally drew a response from the former Veep. And now the media and the White House want Cheney to shut up. But they can't have it both ways. If they wanted Cheney to fade away, they should have let that sleeping dog lie after they won the election. The fact that they didn't showed their pettiness. And they clearly miscalculated if they thought Cheney was going to let them bash his legacy in silence.

Yet another miscalculation from Obama, Emanual, Gibbs, and Co. If they want to dish it out, they better fucking learn to take it!

Wayne Allwine, voice of Mickey Mouse, dies

LOS ANGELES, May 21 (UPI) -- U.S. voice actor Wayne Allwine, who played iconic character Mickey Mouse for decades, has died of complications from diabetes, the Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) said.
He was 62.

EW.com said Allwine began his Disney career in the mail room in 1966, then went on to win a sound-effects editing Emmy Award for his work on the TV show "Amazing Stories" in 1986.

Allwine became the third man to be the voice of Mickey 32 years ago and he has since been heard in movies, TV shows and Disney theme parks. Walt Disney was the original voice of the animated rodent.

His wife, Russi Taylor, has lent her voice to the character of Minnie Mouse since 1986, EW.com said.

At about age 5 when he still wasn't talking she finally sent us to one, his inner ears were so plugged up with mucus it was like he had been hearing under water all that time. They gave him a myringotomy and pooof! He started talking in no time. We had several years of speech therapy to get him caught up but he's fine now. Talk about naive parents .. still pisses me off. btw, we switched pediatricians.

Their problem is this. This was a strong basis for their popularity. Vote for our change. Since there is no substance behind the message, the only choice is to keep the straw man alive to be beaten. The only problem with the strategy, is that Vice President Cheney is not willing to be a straw man. So now, the liberal elite are resorting to telling him to lie down and take it. I will admit to disappointment that fighting back took so long. I am happy to see it happen though. Keep fighting!

If Only They Knew That We Understand [Yuval Levin]

When the most severe conservative critics of Barack Obama’s approach to foreign policy imagine the president’s thought process, they probably imagine it going something like this:

“If I had a Muslim summit, I think that I can speak credibly to them about the fact that I respect their culture," Obama said, "that I understand their religion, that I have lived in a Muslim country, and as a consequence I know it is possible to reconcile Islam with modernity and respect for human rights and a rejection of violence. And I think I can speak with added credibility.”

The trouble is, Obama actually said this, in an interview with Richard Wolffe, cited in Wolffe’s new book (and quote here). It is an unbelievable mix of arrogance and naiveté — of belief in the power of Obama’s persuasive power (building on his personal story, as so much does for him) and belief in the power of talk in general. All the troubles of the world are just a misunderstanding waiting to be explained out of existence by someone with the right personal narrative. Oh boy.

My oldest had a button stuck up her nose once. At first, we though she swallowed it. She kept crying and every time she inhaled, it got sucked up where we couldn't see it. We calmed her down and after about 15 minutes, it came down and we were able to use a pair of tweezers and get it out of her nostrils. My youngest ended up stuffing newspaper in her nose and didn't say anything. We took her to the doctor because of her making a rasping noise when she breathed. The doc pulled out a lump of paper the size of a AAA battery.

re: #79 Mad Al-Jaffee

Speaking of propane, those who are prepping to buy ought to take this into consideration. Some outlets - particularly those where you turn in your empty canisters for full ones, aren't exactly filling them to the statutorily allowed limits. They're shorting the weights, and keeping the prices the same, which means you're paying more per pound of propane than you otherwise would (and you're running out faster).

I have two tanks, and have 'em filled at a local garden center, just in case.

And the ring of his laughter and mine.
We had drunk black wine.

I scream'd, "I will race you, Master!"
"What matter," he shriek'd, "to-night
Which of us runs the faster?
There is nothing to fear to-night
In the foul moon's light!"

Then I look'd him in the eyes
And I laugh'd full shrill at the lie he told
And the gnawing fear he would fain disguise.
It was true, what I'd time and again been told:
He was old -- old.

re: #112 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

My oldest had a button stuck up her nose once. At first, we though she swallowed it. She kept crying and every time she inhaled, it got sucked up where we couldn't see it. We calmed her down and after about 15 minutes, it came down and we were able to use a pair of tweezers and get it out of her nostrils. My youngest ended up stuffing newspaper in her nose and didn't say anything. We took her to the doctor because of her making a rasping noise when she breathed. The doc pulled out a lump of paper the size of a AAA battery.

re: #124 lawhawk

Speaking of propane, those who are prepping to buy ought to take this into consideration. Some outlets - particularly those where you turn in your empty canisters for full ones, aren't exactly filling them to the statutorily allowed limits. They're shorting the weights, and keeping the prices the same, which means you're paying more per pound of propane than you otherwise would (and you're running out faster).

I have two tanks, and have 'em filled at a local garden center, just in case.

Someone posted earlier today a link about going green on grilling.

Yeah...the problem is that the consumers who will pay for this will be the ones with good credit because the companies will not be able to price the loans to those with less than perfect credit appropriately.

The possible good part of this legislation will be the limiting of the amount and severity of nasty surprises in interest rate changes. Things like make-one-late-payment-and-your-rate-goes-from 15% to 29%.
