Boris Johnson, the test case for a Tory government. He’s overturned the tariff on gas-guzzlers; he’s only building social housing in already deprived areas, he praised the sub-prime mortgages in America; he destroyed cycle lane budgets but still called himself green. And those are the very few things he has done…Good. I like politicians who don’t legislate a lot.

I don’t regard it as a Socialist Conspiracy, but I do regard it as a monolithic bureaucracy where not enough is spent on direct patient care. To my mind, you could break it up into smaller geographical units, decentralise it more efficiently on a regional basis.

I was selected as a candidate by a very conservative constituency – having told them I was gay. If you’d said to me ten years ago that that could happen I’d have laughed. Margot James herself was selected in a marginal seat. I willingly pay tribute to Labour on gay rights

Wilson apologized to Obama's brain, Rahm Emmanuel, which is almost as bad as facing the wrath of the Twinkie-in-Chief, but the apology was a non-apology. Wilson said, in essence, "I'm sorry I called that black fella a liar in front of God and everybody, but I swear on my 240,000 healthcare lobby dollars that he IS a liar...and a socialist, grandma killer to boot!"

Andrew Sullivan supported George W. Bush for president in 2000 and praised his initial reactions to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In the years since, Sullivan's become disgusted by the moral morass of American torture and Bush's stalwart defense of it. But Bush, Sullivan writes in a cover-story epistle to the former president in the Atlantic, is the only person who can amend torture's stain on the country. So Sullivan appeals to the conservative and Christian roots he shares with Bush and calls for the former president to "reject categorically the phony legalisms, criminal destruction of crucial evidence, and retrospective rationalizations used to pretend that none of this happened. It happened." Bush must, Sullivan writes, say a public mea culpa to the American people, as Ronald Reagan did in response to the Iran-Contra scandal. If not, Sullivan warns that a future president might "resort to the same brutalizing policy, with the same polarizing, demoralizing, war-crippling results. I am writing you now because it is within your power-and only within your power-to prevent that from happening."

[You've got chronic asthma, if you keep out of fumes and carry an inhaler you'll live another 5 years, if you get H1N1/A you're a goner!]

I thought (as directed by medical authorities) you weren’t suppose to take Tamiflu unless doctors were certain you had H1N1. That is because it isn’t effective until you have it. Isn’t that true?
Why Neo-Conservative Pundits Love Jon Stewart -- Daily Intel 2009 -- New York News Blog -- New York Magazine - 0 views
-
Since the beginning of the Obama administration, Stewart has interviewed more conservative pundits than liberal ones. (Remember when fans fretted he'd have trouble finding ways to be funny under the new president?) It may be because it's simply easier to tangle with an ideological adversary than to needle a compatriot. A clash of ideas is always more entertaining than an echo chamber.
