Nice to see some there are still some good journalists about :)

Stop buying the Washington Post!!!

You can't be that dumb.

Hell yeah, is it wrong that I'm so happy when I see -one- journalist that cares, -one- individual that isn't party oriented, or under a crazy belief system? It's like we live in Bizaro world, and the slightest bit of sanity is a miracle!

If any one can spare some cash, please help support PBS and Democracy Now. My local station has called me a couple of times. I asked them if they received any of the Obama stimulus funds, and they said they did not.

I guess education and an informed public isn't on the agenda.

[Taospark]

How is it not clear? The publisher of a prestigious paper tried to create a series of (and charge access to) "matchmaking" dinners between health care lobbyists and legislators in order to create favorable "reform" that benefits the health care industry and not you.

who's Moyers?...and what's he going on about?

[zoxovox]

Please check out the Bill Moyer 05.22.2009 episode where the Public Option is discussed which you can also find on youtube. Moyer also did a more recent episode based on the Public Option which is dead on but it fails to mention the Single Payer plan its only flaw. That is the most recent episode which I believe was 07.10.2009 which vindicates Michael Moore's film Sicko with an admission of guilt by a former CEO of a major insurance giant CIGNA.

Single Payer not Public Option is what we need folks. Please take the time to research the differences. Nothing will toss the money lenders out of the temple like Single Payer. The Public Option is going to do very little to improve health care and likely facilitate another bailout. I hope the Public Option fails and the Single Payer Plan gets another chance but we are being sold out by Washington under the thumb of the health, drug and insurance industry for greed.

I wish I had more journalists that go straight to the head like that, in my country.
