Now is not the time for half measures. Sure, I'll take the watered down public option if it's all we can get. But I don't believe that, if there was ever a time, and a president that could deliver a single payer healthcare system, it's this time and this president.

Big business should be begging to get healthcare costs off their balance sheets. If Obama would get big business on board, the republicans would have no choice but to fall in line.

Republicans can't argue seriously about cost after the last 8 years. If you can find a bottomless pit of money to kill and maim Iraqis and U.S. servicemen, then they can come up with the money to provide healthcare for the citizens they claim to represent.

I guarantee you that the next time we have another cowboy hat wearing dipshit republican president (hopefully many, many, many years from now), they suddenly won't care about deficits when he wants to invade some third world country before they destroy the U.S. with their imaginary drone planes.

I remember sometime in the late 80's or early 90's, Billy Barty was upset at Herve Villechaize because he publicly said he preferred the term midget.

But it's not really an issue for me, the ones that I've worked around I just called by their names. If they prefer one term over the other, I'll use whichever one they like, even if it's "person of small stature."

I suppose it's good news that they couldn't find a racist in their mid 20's to early 30's to be the leader of the young republicans. Still, it seems like there should be an age cut off or something. It just seems weird to have a 38 year old as the leader of a youth organization. I also wonder if in addition to being a racist, if she fibbed about her age. In that Facebook picture, she looks well into her 40's.

I can't really act surprised about this, these are the people that brought monkey dolls to campaign events with Obama name tags on them! I'm just glad that the public saw them for what they are, at least the last election cycle.

If Palin runs in 2012, maybe one of the news channels can hire him to do commentary.

Around the time Borat came out, SBC was interviewed on NPR by Terri Gross. He said that the studio hack that said he was an "observant jew" was incorrect (lying). He is Jewish, but he's not practicing.

The poster awhile back that said reviewers didn't notice that the Borat was anti Muslim, Borat wasn't a Muslim character. He was a made up religion that worships the hawk.

The old rodeo guy made some anti Muslim comments, as well as anti gay comments. The movie was making fun of those types of prejudices.

Was the movie mean? All those people signed the waivers to appear on screen, so I can't feel too sorry for them if they go on to say such vile things. It's not like there's a hidden camera, they know they're being filmed. Even if they didn't know it was going to be a movie, I'm sure they were aware of an invention known as the internet, and what they say will be viewed by millions.

I didn't find Borat to be mean, but some of the people that had no problem voicing their prejudices to a camera sure seemed mean. Like the old guy that wanted gay people to be hung from lamp posts.

Ok, that settles it, I'm seeing Bruno this weekend! Too bad it wasn't Jim Inhofe that Bruno tried to seduce.

I loved Borat, really funny stuff. Bruno was always the weakest character on SBC's show, but this sounds really funny.

She was one of the fat has beens competing on Celebrity Fit Club a few years ago. Looks like the little weight she lost came back.

I used to like her on SNL. She had no discernable talent, other than being cute. But I was a young guy, so that was enough for me. She got a lot of press when she left the show to marry a cop, which I thought was pretty cool. She left him after a few years of course.

I remember seeing her pop up occasionally on Politically Incorrect during the Clinton years. My infatuation was officially over even before she lost her looks. At least her outward appearance now matches her inner ugliness.

Somebody needs the wood.

It was Limbaugh that called Chelsea Clinton the White House dog. But in 1998 McCain did tell a tastless joke about Chelsea at some republican gathering, "why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father." Real knee slapper huh?

LOL That's one of the funniest things I've read online recently. But it's also true, and her fan club would be on Salon and other sites talking about how cats are evil, real Americans like dogs. Talking about all the rural folk that they knew when they weere knee high to a grasshopper that used to bag up cats and throw them in the 'crick', so eating them is not that big a deal, really, they would say, it just makes them admire her even more.

Bush had the mutant power to look into another world leader's soul. Like he said he did with Putin.

Geeze, did that really happen, the thing with Rock Hudson? What a lunatic, as if Rock didn't have it bad enough, he had to have a talentless singer and his insane wife ranting at him.
