(800-372-1033) http://www.bna.com Health reform is a process, not an outcome. The health care industry needs to treat Phase II of health reform—–implementation by the Executive Branch—with the same focus and zeal as they did with Phase I—deliberation and passage by the Legislative Branch. It may not be as sexy as Capitol Hill but industry participation in shaping implementation through the Executive Branch could have an even greater impact for industry efforts. Phase II is when the rubber of ‘‘the law’’ meets the road of ‘‘the real world.’’ We are one month into implementation so now is the t...

FriedmanTerrorists are named after an emotion for a reason. They use violence to produce widespread fear for a political purpose. The number of those they kill or injure will always be a small fraction of those they frighten. This creates problems for leaders, and even analysts, when they talk publicly about terrorism. On one hand, leaders need to convince the public that they are on the case in protecting them, or else they won’t be leaders for long. On the other hand, good leaders try to minimize unwarranted fear. One reason is that we shouldn’t give terrorists what they want. Another is that fear is a real social harm, particularly when it is exaggerated. Stress from fear harms health. It causes bad decisions. For example, if people avoid flying and drive inst...

How Obama’s protectionist policies are hurting the poor. More stifling of political speech. “Checks and balances” be damned: “In a democratic country, you’d think that before the executive branch could regulate CO2–a ubiquitous substance essential to life–the legislature would have to vote on the issue. But you’d be wrong.” Somewhere, Thomas Friedman is smiling. Podcast: Next week marks eight years since the U.S. invaded Afghanistan. It’s time to get out. Read the exit strategy.

(Hey, it originated with Mitt!) sisu: “If McCain can get the votes of all the women who were pregnant at their weddings, it’ll be a landslide!” “Sarah is electrifying our party,” Mitt is telling a Fox News anchor… Sarah definitely has the star quality about her, the sheer charisma, that that other unknown, Dan Quayle, did not. The Executive Branch of our government needs people in it that are leaders above all. That’s the opposite of what W has been doing lately: love him or hate him, the man isn’t a leader.

Yep..right there at the North Carolina zoo in Asheboro. I guess that explains the lack of cleanliness on the glass that separated us. The moms at the zoo that day were asked by their kids what was happening and they replied that the baboon was "playing with the other baboon" before rushing their kids on to the next exhibit.It would seem that President Bush has prevented Scooter Libby from playing with other inmates to pay for this administrations crimes against the nation. It is very demoralizing to me to know that power and privilege can flaunt themselves so very openly, as if the powerful and priveleged were baboons forcing public blowjobs on average Americans... 2sides2ron blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=711718 Tue, 03 Jul 2007 14:55:00 +0100 711718 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=702107&cid=t_128032_135_f&fid=35263&url=http%3A%2F%2Fronhudson.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F06%2Fcall-for-impeachment-of-president-bush.html I have had it with the lies, deception and secrecy of the Executive Branch (and yes, Vice President Cheney, this does include you no matter who pays your salary) of the US Government. I see no recourse to extricate the US from the tyranny of this administration short of impeachment of both the President and the Vice President. Here is a letter that I sent to my representatives in the US Congress this morning to express my extreme displeasure with the example that the Executive Branch is setting for the future. If you have a desire to express your opinions to your Congressional Representatives, please visit the US House website and the US Senate website to find the contact information for your Representative and Senators. Most of them have a webform where you can provide them feedback on a ... 2sides2ron blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=702107 Thu, 28 Jun 2007 16:52:00 +0100 702107
