How Politics Works

A Republican inserted a provision into the Health Care bill to offer voluntary end-of-life counseling to people who want to decide for themselves, while they can still make the decision, what steps should be taken in cases where medicine may not be able to save them (ex. stay on life support when there's no hope of meaningful recovery, or not). Frankly, a good idea.

But, Republicans, who want to defeat Obama at all costs, say this gives Obama permission to create "death panels" which will meet to decide who lives and who dies. And then they try to prove this was the plan all along by taking a paragraph in an academic article written by a man who is now an Obama health care adviser from 13 years ago, out of context. The Republican base goes insane, as usual.

Instead of pointing out that this is an idiotic interpretation of the provision, Democrats remove the provision.

And the media notices what's happening only when it's too late to matter.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Hey Carrier

Love your dome (saw Pink Floyd, and Van Hagar there, back in the olden days), but about your air conditioners... We bought this brand new house in 03. We've had to replace the evaporator coil in the AC twice since then. Even under warranty, that's $700 a shot in labor. So, would you, could you please put some fucking effort into it ?
