Melissa Harris-Perry

Some of the best TV on TV.  It's like being in Civics class again - which was an extraordinarily great thing as far I'm concerned.

This segment was a bit of departure, but still educational for me.



Doonesbury Sunday(s)

Last time - I promise.  I have to get away from Doonesbury for pretty long periods because it's usually just too depressing, but it's good to check in once in a while.

Wendell Rides Again

I'd not been aware that Wendell Potter was putting this stiff out regularly, but there he is over at MichaelMoore.com

Some of the best circularity I've come across in a long time:
Health insurers often complain that one of the chief reasons why they are having a difficult time at the negotiating table with hospitals these days is because of consolidation. The reason for that consolidation, however, is the exploding problem of uncompensated care, hospitals have no choice but to consolidate. Well, they actually do have another choice: close. Which is what many hospitals have had to do because they could not find a willing partner with which to affiliate.
Read some of Wendell's posts and then tell me Obama's not trying to do right by us.
