Really?

No, I mean really?!?  What are they thinking?

I guess I'm getting what I deserve for actively rooting for Jake Tapper, because Lord knows the dino-media would do whatever is the opposite of the obvious and rational thing to do.

Landmark Legal Foundation (Levin's group) posted a copy of the suit they're going to file immediately upon usage of the "Slaughter Rule".

A couple of thoughts after quick review - this is the approach that Levin's stated all along which I think is brilliant, what with it being my approach as well.  Throwing in the comments about the line item veto is a great touch since it directly addresses the justicablity argument. 

The point about reliance and the impact on *all* current insurance contracts are also well made and ones that I haven't seen addressed too much.  Honestly, this will rewrite thousands upon thousands of currently existing contracts immediately.  That gives everyone with insurance standing.  This also is going to be an enormous cost on insurance companies.

This is also pretty aggressive language, believe it or not.  The comments about the Court needing to step up to its co-equal role are both an appeal to the Court's vanity and a shot across the bow about this being the last attempt to constrain Congressional excess.

Hopefully it won't come to that, but if the Slaughter Rule is used and the bill is deemed passed, the briefing on the 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss is where the real fun will be.

I'm not sure which is stupider, that someone did this, or that people are boycotting Walmart over something done by some minimum-wage clerk.

Funny thing is, most of the atrocities in the New Jersey category of People of Walmart are white redneck folk.

Given Thailand's reputation as a sex capital, it's probably a good thing that HIV dies when exposed to air.

With all the talk of how the Democrats are going to rape us up the ass with no lube, a rusted chainsaw dipped in the clap, and nary an after-rape cuddle or thank you card to show for it, I'm happy seeing anybody saying anything about it.  Regardless of what the House and the Senate think, no does mean no, and yelling "surprise" does not make it surprise sex - it makes you an asshole who yelled "surprise" at a bitch before you raped her.

There are quite a few states (and the majority of the American population) saying fuck this loudly and clearly by sponsoring or passing legislation that would require the state to sue the feds for forcing insurance on citizens.  Today, we can congratulate Idaho for being the first to sign it into law.  Now, I know that this is totally frivolous, doubtlessly a waste of time, and impossible to win - since federal law supercedes state law.

But, damnit, someone's got to make it loud and fucking clear that we don't want this reform.  We don't want you to deem it so (who the fuck deems shit to be so in a democracy? isn't that what kings and queens say before the angry mob at their castle gates drop the guillotine?); we don't want you to force it through with the nuclear option, we want you to think about what's really, honestly, genuinely going to help America.  And Americans.

But, no.  You've hung your fucking hat on this one, and you are standing by the Titanic while it sinks.  You called it unsinkable - and if you have to tie the fucking thing to a million blimps to airlift it out of the motherfucking ocean, you're going to do it.

Fuck you.  Fuck you, your fucking agenda, your fucking arrogance, and fuck your fucking delusions of grandeur.  Fuck you for being cowards who can't accept that you have failed, and, instead of being man enough to say, "Well, we failed; let's focus on what Americans want!" deciding to force something that no one wants on us. 

In November, when I vote against every fucker who dared to support health care in any way, shape, or form, I will be saying fuck you under my breath.  And loving every damn minute of it.

I'm not sure if this makes D & D less nerdy or porn a little dirtier but either way the combination is a potential winner

I'm Zak, I live in Hollywood. Most of the people I know in LA I know from work--so they're porn stars and strippers. So that's who I play D&D with.)

How much you want to bet that breast cancer survival rates will plunge if Obamacare passes while the lead time between discovery of a lump and an effective consultation with a specialist/surgeon team will go from two to three weeks to whenever a bureaucrat approves you will increase? How much you want to bet that fewer doctors will want to get into, or stay in, practice if Government meddling takes place? And how much you want to bet that O-care will actually make costs increase? Tell me I am wrong, and right about now, I will do to your person what William Tecumseh Sherman wanted to do to Georgia, but held back out of courtesy.

Yeah, fuck you O-care supporters. Fuck you with the used condom from that special chicken wrapped soaked in hate and around my boot. Fuck you for wanting to destroy everything and everybody I hold dear by replacing excellent service with the equivalent of "that guy" from a frat party who claims to know how to beat a drug test and/or avoid pregnancy with a can of Dr. Pepper. Fuck you for trying to demonize medical and insurance professionals who already suffer under the fucking yoke of legal harassment, and yet still are able to help people as best as they can. And fucking fuck you fuckrancid style with the fucking fuckbeagle of fuckingly fucked up fuckwitlessness for thinking that people would be better off with rationed or completely unobtainable care.

Fuck off, and stand in the back of the line you want all of us to endure.

Oh crap, the products of one of our best advertisers, cheap ugg boots, are apparently crippling the wearers.

Those girls can't sue us, can they? I mean, they just advertise here, we never really endorsed the product.
Well, maybe alex. She's always going on about shoes.
Which leads us to wonder if she can sue herself.
If she is, indeed, a woman.

And no, I didn't see this on Ace's sidebar.
Well, maybe a little.

Okay, that's funny.
And I thought putting a bayonet on your pistol was funny.
Now you can put an assault rifle on your Glock.


Heh. I'm not sure if it's better or worse that it's sold out.

Although..... That would be Teh Awsum if you put a bayonet on both the Glock and the rifle.

H/T that guy you don't know. I asked him, he said he doesn't know any of you.

As I see these stories I keep thinking, "They can't let that happen." and I keep being wrong.
That's depressing.

Gawd, I love blue on blue:

Senior Obama campaign official Steve Hildebrand is eyeing a Democratic primary challenge to South Dakota Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, a decision he said hinges largely on whether she votes against health care reform later this week.

So, apparently Glenn Beck at some point noted that some Catholic priests and bishops reject the "social justice" (read: cede the church's traditional role in society as provider of aid to those in need and agitate for socialism) agenda, and advocates leaving churches that advocate "social justice" for ones that oppose it.  Some tool named Anthony Stevens-Arroyo in the WaPo compared him to the Hitler Youth.  Let's talk about Hitler Youth, Mr. Stevens-Arroyo,

This is hardly a huge victory against the Global Warmerists, but I think it's a sign that Climategate has had an impact:

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that the adverts – which were based on the children's poems Jack and Jill and Rub-A-Dub-Dub – made exaggerated claims about the threat to Britain from global warming.

In definitely asserting that climate change would cause flooding and drought the adverts went beyond mainstream scientific consensus, the watchdog said.

It noted that predictions about the potential global impact of global warming made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "involved uncertainties" that the adverts failed to reflect.

The article states that the rebuke came in part from public complaints.

I'm far from certain, but it sounds to me like the Climategate scandal has opened the door to stuff like this. I mean, can you imagine something like this happening, say, a couple of years ago?
