health care reform

U.S. District Court Judge Henry E. Hudson refused today to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II, against the federal health-care reform law, so opponents of health care will now have their day in court. “While this case raises a host of complex constitutional issues, all seem to distill to the [...]

It takes a kind, familiar stroke-voice to relate information to people with stroke-voices, so Medicare has signed up Andy Griffith to tell them about the changes that colored man has made to their Medicare benefits WITHOUT ASKING THEM FIRST. Yes, Andy Griffith, the man who played the sheriff who was exonerated for killing the character [...]

OH, WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN: According to the testimony of some union thug, Rod Blagojevich thought that maybe he could appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services if he appointed close personal Obama friend Valerie Jarrett to the Senate. He came up with this idea after he specifically found out that Obama wanted Jarrett to [...]

Are you sick of primaries yet? Yes? Too bad! There are several more of them today! Sex maniac Nikki Haley will probably win, after Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin turned her into a proxy for America, by fighting for her love. Also, a black conservative will probably beat Strom Thurmond’s son; a lesbian is running [...]

Barbara Bush the Younger was on Fox News Sunday on Fox News Sunday to talk about some new scheme to “bring health equity to the U.S. and Africa,” and shocked Chris Wallace by admitting that she was not against our Socialissimo forcing patriots to have something that pays to fix their hearts after the fried [...]

Right now, valiant BP scientists are top-killing the heck of out of the all-spewing oil well in the Gulf of Mexico! Yup, they’re sure giving their all at killing … the top … of the thing … in a top kill. Which involves stone-cold pumping mud into the durn hole, we guess. Will it work? [...]

The Mitt Romney of 2007 and 2008 is BACK, BABY. He’s starting to reach the levels of hilarity he was hitting daily during his presidential campaign, when he just went into turbulent buzzword binges about why he was literally Ronald Reagan or why Bob Dole was a sack of shit or who actually let the [...]

Hmm what’s a good, sane way to show opposition to a popularly elected government’s effort to make health insurance available to some people currently ineligible because they’ve lost their jobs or have a pre-existing medical condition? How about an armed state militia to fight the Feds! That’s the plan in Oklahoma, where Republican politicians and [...]

BART ‘BABY KILLER’ STUPAK QUITS: Hooray for lunatics! Congressman Bart Stupak will not seek re-election because somebody yelled “baby killer” at him one time, and the abortion-loving Democrats planned to run a lady against him in the primary, and 250 teabaggers stood around his district eating all the Cheetos, the end. [Wall Street Journal/First Read]

American fraud and eternal source of comedy Mitt Romney is squirming with his usual awkwardness over the Romneycare government takeover of health insurance he instituted in Massachusetts when he was governor there. Barack Obama often praises Romney for creating such a swell socialistic health-care scheme. But Mittens, who is hilariously running for the GOP nomination [...]

The tiny Washington Examiner presumably paid conservative reporter and teevee panelist Byron York a lot of money to lure him away from his senior correspondent perch at National Review. Everyone wants this guy, for his talent. But even he, this Titan of Journalism, cannot wrap his head around why Barack Obama and the Democrats would [...]

If there is one group of people your Wonkette cannot tolerate, it is vulgarians, with their toilet humor and Satanic acronyms about fucking. These are the only people employed at Organizing for America, a.k.a. “BarackObama.com.” Look at Joe Biden’s “big fucking deal” right there, on the tee shirt, in the Obama Font. Filthy. If only [...]

No but really, this guy subbing for Glenn Beck on his radio show, “Doc Thompson,” says this in response to the new 10% tanning salon tax.

Happy 70th Birthday, Madame Speaker! You get to sign this companion Health Care Reform bill, for a present! Also, for a super-great present, you look about 50 years old, while John McCain looks like some bloated 1,000-year-old mummy failure dug up from a bog. Oh look Nancy is going to sign this thing on the [...]

Whoa, do you like Elvis Presley or Sarah “Pall-en”? Well then you will like this fellow at least twice as much as those things, because of Freedom. Just need to tune up this here eBay guitar a little better and it’s all gonna happen, Democrats gonna weep.
