Officials' dismay at the now famed outburst was uniform. The cyberspace reaction, not so. Two words from one guy.

Health Insurance Companies continue to perpetuate the fairy tale about "cost-shfting"--the notion that the cost of uncompensated care for the uninsured is "shifted" onto the backs of insurance companies and their enrollees. This is an outright lie, and a whopper at that.

Joe Wilson called Obama a liar and a senior White House advisor called Wilson, "A pimple on the ass of progress." Obama waves a useless piece of paper in the wind and the Republicans become, well, carbuncles on the ass of progress.

It's a coming-of-age story, you see. It's about a representative who has come of age from the voting booths of a town to accept the responsibilities of performing rousing debates on the floors of Congress with the interest of a constituency in mind while adhering to house rules. Don't fear, I'm not describing a remake of the "Cider House Rules" replacing the doctor with a Congressional representative. No, I'm describing the latest shock-and-awe disorderly behavior by a representative of a member of the 111th Congress. Enter Joe Wilson, a Congressional representative from South Carolina. In the aftermath of inappropriate timing, will the enforcement of ethical standards be abdicated in the US while many see that taking precautions in keeping the public trust in Congress is still the responsibility of everyone sitting in that room?

Stupidity and greed favor no political party. The Democrat's skeleton du jour is Rep. Charlie Rangel. He's failed to report large sums on his taxes and solicits funds on his House letterhead. Democrats shouldn't and can't afford to look away if the allegations are true.

A Rose By Any Other Name Or Speak No Evil, See No Evil, Hear No Evil Things have been a little quiet on the healthcare debate front over the past day or two, but the 800 pound gorilla is still in the room and is still very much alive and well. During this short lull I wanted to take a look at the critical public option piece for the program, and the fact that it is apparently losing its luster with many on the near left as a it remains a huge impediment to any legislation having a chance of being passed. And not getting something passed will doom the democrats in mid-term elections...

Chef Adeel Khan presents fresh episode in Hum TV. Chef Adeel making Chocolate Cake & Chocolate Milkshake.

Some seem surprised that Wall Street's outrageous behavior continues unabated, which is about as insightful as saying they never saw the meltdown coming. Astronomical compensation, uber-risky investment behavior, and sales of new, more exotic investment instruments is still in vogue in Gordon Geckoland.
