Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Knopf Editor Makes Great Case for Editors in Poorly Written Post About Needing Editors [Fuckups] – Editor, edit thyself.
- A matter of life and death – Money graf: “But for some, we’re literally talking about a life-or-death situation. For adult Americans under the age of 65 — those, in other words, who can’t qualify for our wildly popular socialized-medicine program — 68 people die every day due to lack of coverage. By the end of the decade, it will be 84 Americans per day.” It is unconscionable that this can be allowed to continue if it is within our power to stop it. And, no, it has nothing to do with tort reform or letting insurance companies compete across state lines.
- Dropping like flies – Money grafs: “Indeed, just two weeks ago, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said Democratic retirements are a sign that Dems are ‘running for the hills because they sold out their constituents and don’t want to face them at the ballot box.’ With GOP retirements outnumbering Dems’ — by a margin that’s growing — are we to also assume that Republicans don’t want to face voters at the ballot box?”

- Max Headroom Finally Coming To DVD! [Max Headroom] – Woot!
- The GOP’s silence on reform – Money graf: “The train is leaving the station. If 217 House Dems and 51 Senate Dems are on board, the nation will finally have the health care reform we’ve been waiting for since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. If not, reform will die, the crisis will worsen, and Democrats will have committed electoral suicide on a grand scale.”
- Despite Running A Health Industry ‘Trade Association,’ Gingrich Says He Will Not Register As A Lobbyist – Ah, Newt … doing well by doing “good.”
