Grab Bag – Monday Night
I would like to publicly thank the LA Times for doing some reporting. They have a nice article on some of the myths and misperceptions that are areas of confusion surrounding the healthcare debate. Kudos to them.
The White House would like to clear up some misperceptions also. They have launched a new website. (What has troubled me during most of this debate is how behind the White House is. Healthcare has been pummeled by Republicans, conservatives and other lobbyists for several weeks. Now they launch an offensive? Where was this four weeks ago?)
Many have tried to convince me of the righteousness of business. They have tried to tell me how great the free markets are. Continental Airlines has set another example of how business needs to be regulated. Leaving passengers stuck on the tarmac for nine hours is unforgivable. Watch the video below!

David Kurtz from TPM asked the question, where are all the physicians in the health care debate? I don’t know what I can do to be more visible. I have a radio show. I have a blog. I’ve talked about health care and health care reform for over three months. Maybe I should get my own television show? 
A hold has been placed on Representative John McHugh’s nomination for Secretary of the Army by Senators Pat Roberts and Sam Brownback.
The autopsy of Michael Jackson has been completed but the results are sealed. This seems to be dragging on forever.
Army General Stanley McChrystal has asked for more civilian resources in Afghanistan. If someone can tell me exactly what we’re doing in Afghanistan and what we’re trying to accomplish, I would be most appreciative.
If you can’t get Sarah Palin, whom do you call? Chuck Heath, Sarah Palin’s father and Jim Palin, Todd Palin’s father will be campaigning in Idaho for Vaughn Ward, a Republican candidate for Congress. Well, that’s a creepy version of All in the Family!
The NFL is getting ready to crank up! Preseason action starts on Thursday.
