Again, STOP LYING ABOUT THE BILL

You can always count on Bachmann to come up with a great comment from the tin-foil hat wearing right. This time I think she hits an all-new high. I don't think that she is currently campaigning against having a school nurse in public schools, and I'm not sure I see a gigantic difference between that and what the bill is proposing.

But she somehow translates having school based health clinics into abortion factories in every school. Please tell me this is a tactic and you aren't actually stupid enough to believe this.

What world do these people live in?

I cannot believe that our elected leaders have to spend their time discussing whether or not basic maternity care needs to be a part of health insurance coverage. Leave it to a republican to make this awesome statement:



I bet he wants to be sure that there is coverage for male impotency in the bill. Using his obviously flawless logic (can you feel the sarcasm dripping off that?) there should not be any care included for children, since he isn't a child and would never need that coverage it should not be a part of the basic coverage.

The real kicker is the proposed change was only struck down 9 to 14. That means there were at least 4 other flipping idiots that supported this idea. Yes, 4 other people actually supported the idea of removing maternity care from coverage. Did those idiots spring fully formed from their mother's heads? I'm guessing they did not, I'm sure that their mothers had some sort of maternity care during their pregnancies. Granted the care was very different back then, but considering our poor infant mortality rate in this country,  most Americans don't exactly receive the absolute state-of-the-art care as it is. Let these jackasses have their way and only the wealthy will be able to get quality care at all.

Gadget Lust Alert!!!

Sure, I fully admit to be a complete gadget geek, among other varieties of geekdom to which I subscribe. I have had the Amazon Kindle on my gadget lust list ever since it came out, but I keep waiting for it to get better. I mean, it's very very cool as it is and if I wasn't completely focused on my Dave Ramsey inspired plan to be completely free of all consumer debt, I would have already succumbed to it's siren song of gadgety goodness. Maybe the third generation of the Kindle will actually make me pull the trigger. I really hate being an early adopter and getting burned when the next version of a piece of technology comes out and makes what I jumped on look like a cotton gin in comparison. So I have managed to hold off on the Kindle so far, most likely reason being that no one I know actually has one. Peer pressure gadget lust is even more powerful than just the run-of-the-mill kind of gadget lust from afar.

This new "Courier" thing that the evil empire in Redmond is developing though... This seductive hunk of technology is probably going to break my will like a kid chewing a Tootsie-roll pop. I'm not even sure I have enough reason to own such a technological marvel, but I can almost bet you I will invent a reason before it even makes it to market. It is just SO COOL! I mean just look at it! And visit Gizmodo for a video that makes it even more drool worthy.

Why are we trying to hurt the insurance company execs?!?

I mean really?!? Why are we trying to hurt those guys? They have been taking such good care of us for so long how can we turn our backs on them now?
