While we wait

While we await the healthcare decision being rendered by our far more political, and radical than ever Supreme court, here are some headlines.  This just shows how commonplace unbelievable crap has become:

• Mexicali Lures American Tourists With Medical Care - 1 hour ago
• DealBook: JPMorgan Trading Loss May Reach $9 Billion - 7 hours ago

 Draw your own conclusions  --  I think it amusing that folks go to MEXICO for medical care while our "Supreme Court" ponders if we are actually ONE NATION, if we really are all in this together, etc., etc.

The current Republican Party has become so anti-American that I'm afraid they really are in their "death throes".  Now various delegates to state conventions are being asked to sign "loyalty oaths", affirming their willingness to support the choice of their "kingmakers".  Even this attempt to reign in their most radical elements is a failure.  They have lied themselves into this position, distorting American history and tradition to fit their regressive politics, social vision, and policy  --  people follow, only to end up voting for policies that go directly against their self interest. 

These folks never understand that THEY are among those they call "the takers".  It's like all the anti-union cops and firemen who ALL belong to a union.

Insanity abounds.
