Michael Feldman's Whad'ya Know Saturday took a call from "Wilson" from Springfield, Missouri, who talked about how his choice of computer was like his choice of who to vote for.

I mentioned this phenomenon in posts last spring, after doing door-to-door voter registration in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Some people just don't want to register; they don't want to vote. My strange observation: they are virtually ALL white.

Geologists are stirring from their slumber due to serious arguments not previously brought to Anglo-American attention regarding the origin of oil.

I almost posted this over a month ago, but didn't have time to smoothly tie this to Bush Economics, although the link is there.

Medicare has always had the power to reimburse whatever it wants for equipment. Rather than cut rates and take the heat, they came up with a cockamamie process that does more to drive small companies out of business and reduce choice than anything else.

The New York Times has chosen to attack the messenger, rather than a flawed process, claiming that our industry's lobbyists (until lately, I think we had 2) are unduly influencing Congress. We have always been the neglected step-child of Medicare, accounting for about 2% of expenditures. We have never had effective lobbyists until now, when the problems are so widespread, and the losers, once again, are everyone but large corporations.

What follows is a screed on this process; a process that has been fraught with fraud and incompetence.

First, a link to the Times editorial:

As reported by the BBC:

"Cuba is to abolish its system of equal pay for all and allow workers and managers to earn performance bonuses, a senior official has announced.

Vice-Minister for Labour Carlos Mateu said the current system - in place since the communist revolution in 1959 - was no longer 'convenient'."

I was reading Madfloridian's blog on DemocraticUnderground, and came across this story. Doing a quick search here brought up no mention of the protagonist of this nonsense, Victor Dimaio, so, not knowing exactly how to bring the subject up, I decided a diary post was in order.

Here's the link to Madfloridian's Journal
