Does America have best health care in world? Huge majority of Americans don’t think so

15 comments October 14th, 2009

 

 A Pew Research Center poll SHOWS that only 15 percent of Americans consider their country’s health-care system the best in the world.

 Conservative Republican respondents were the most likely to rate the American system as the best or above average. But then, this group also is more likely to include Birthers, Deathers, Tenthers and other oddballs.

Free market will bar Limbaugh from NFL

 Will Bunch NAILS IT.

 An excerpt:

 [P]ro football players live a life that is Reaganism on steroids (it’s just an expression) when it comes to embracing free-market capitalism, thanks to another ”free,” as in free agency. A top player lives the American Dream of freedom to pursue the highest paycheck he wants, or to spurn that top bidder for the city of his choice…or even the coach or team owner of his choice.

 That freedom is the real reason that comedian Rush Limbaugh will not be owning the St. Louis Rams.

 UPDATE: Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay doesn’t want Limbaugh in the league, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also seems LESS THAN ENTHUSED.

Chris Matthews is a loose cannon

 I’ve never understood how Chris Matthews is able to hold his job at MSNBC.

 He’s a notorious sexist. His so-called political insights are nothing special. He regularly interrupts guests before they can respond to his questions. And here he actually predicts that someone is going to assassinate Rush Limbaugh:

GOP claims Jackie Robinson as one its own

 The Republican Party’s efforts to create a veneer of diversity in its ranks often are awkward and sometimes flirt with falsity.

 Take, for example, the new GOP Web site on which it is claimed that Jackie Robinson, the legendary baseball player, was a Republican loyalist.

 Robinson’s own words, as we see HERE, cast profound qualifications on his purported Republicanism.

 POSTSCRIPT: This episode brings to mind the CLAIM made last year by certain folks that Martin Luther King Jr., of all people, also was a Republican.

 And then, of  course, there’s the question of whether Abraham Lincoln, who actually was a Republican, would feel at home in today’s GOP. But that’s a subject for another day.
