…this one.
One patient in Oregon got a letter that made this all too clear, when in the same letter rejecting her request for life-extending chemotherapy, Oregon offered her “physician-aid-in-dying”. In other words, Oregon offered their customer a heapin’ helping of death.
First you lose the Hippocratic oath,
Then you push abortion,
Then you add assisted suicide
and this is where your compassionate society ends up.
If you want to know why you need those pesky Juedo Christian values, this is it.
…By the very fact that Major Liberal outlets such as This week are actually having Michelle on to discuss her book.
I don’t recall the View, Today or ABC News being interested in having her on before but I think they might see where the Obama winds are blowing and are determined to defend their withering audiance share.
Maybe congressmen can hide from tea party people but the networks want their eyeballs.
…on principle concerning the Olberman/Factor feud:
It makes no difference what one thinks of O’Reilly’s attacks on the corporate activities of GE or Olbermann’s criticisms of O’Reilly and Fox News. Whatever one’s views on that are — and I watch neither show very often — those are perfectly legitimate subjects for news reporting and commentary, and the corporate decree to stop commenting on those topics is nothing less than corporate censorship.
His opinion of Olbermann’s veracity vs O’Reilly’s is nonsense of course but he is very right that a corporate truce smells big time. If it had been a question of viewers being sick of it that would be one thing but if a deal can be done on one thing then it can be done on others.
It is interesting to note that Olbermann lied through his teeth concerning it as well:
Olbermann claimed at the end of his broadcast that he would cease referring to O’Reilly in the future because ignoring him (and “quarantining” Fox) would supposedly help get O’Reilly off the air (“So as of this show‘s end, I will retire the name, the photograph, and the caricature”).
Apparently Olbermann didn’t figure on disclose or doesn’t care about lying.
Now this is a minor issue and it was reported on (eventually) but consider how many major issues this might happen on? That is the thing we should worry about.
Oh and I should point out you should read the whole thing since his second point concerning Richard Wolfe is pretty good too. The sock puppet is on a roll today.
My review of Atlantic’s Wave 1316 CD tower (holds 112 cd’s) is available at Amazon.com here.
It took me a while to break down and buy one. I had a vertical CD tower with a wood base that I picked up at a 2nd hand store that I absolutely loved, but couldn’t find one that matched it. I finally settled on the 1316 as the closest match out there at a good price.
If you collect the Big Finish Doctor who line this is EXACTLY the rack for you. Almost certainly you will be importing them to a PC or Ipod so they won’t be taken down much but as a fan you won’t want to part with them. Two of these will hold just about all the Doctor Who lines, a third will hold all the new releases.
