The right-wing media's last minute opposition to the bid was unprecedented. They could oppose the bid because getting the Olympics isn't important to the United States or American politics. They opposed the bid because Obama was from Chicago and wanted Chicago to get the games. Their moral arguments were both a smokescreen and another way to attack Obama. This was a political vendetta that was unpatriotic and immoral.

Something good might come from yet another ridiculous attempt by James Taranto's Wall Street Journal's Daily Best of the Web newsletter and web page to trash the British National Health Service (NHS).

First, I'll explain the nonsense of Taranto's conclusion. Then, I'll explain the possible good that might come about. If you or someone you love has been unlucky you might want to look into donating a human brain for medical research. That's what I'm looking into, no joke.

I've been following the disruption of Town Hall meetings on health care reform, primarily by those opposed to it. I think the problem is that those disrupting the meetings aren't reading the Bill of Rights correctly.

It's just unbelievable.

From that shining beacon on the hill, Newsbusters.org, we're treated to another story of the liberal bias in the mainstream media. Here the knight in shining armor is Bernard Goldberg. Except Goldberg's own armor is badly, badly tarnished. And the rest of the media aren't any better.

Update--- Goldberg's revelation may be even less of a revelation. And I got sucked in.

Death panels are a big, vicious and effective lie. The Republican members of Congress who have subscribed to this lie are scum.

However, Amy Sullivan is wrong. In Oh, Those Death Panels she claims to have found proof of the utter hypocrisy of the Republicans with respect to the Big lie of death panels.

She hasn't. The centerpiece of her blog entry is a quotation that is taken out of context. According to her blog entry the provision applies to all terminally ill patients. It doesn't.

The earlier provision referred to the payment to a hospice medical director or employee for a consultation with a terminally ill patient. The very title of the section is Coverage of Hospice Consultation Services

There are only three possible reasons that Osama bin Laden released a video tape so close to election day where he made fun of George Bush.

They are:

bin Laden thinks that releasing the tape and ridiculing Bush will turn American voters away from Bush and thereby help Kerry win. So Kerry is Osama's candidate.
bin Laden thinks that releasing the tape and ridiculing Bush will result in a backlash that will help Bush. As well, the more Americans think about terrorism, the more likely they are to vote for Bush. So Bush is Osama's candidate.
He doesn't really care who wins the American election, but couldn't resist ridiculing Bush. He released the tape when he did to get maximum publicity and to get his message out to the American public. more...

Does a Bush win, also elect President Richard Cheney? Pictures of the box under the back of Bush's suit jacket in all 3 debates closely match diagrams of wearable cardiac defibrillators. Bush, himself, must answer whether the box is part of a cardiac defibrillator or other medical device.

If it is, voters must know as soon as possible. Many people trust Bush and his faith in god. A lot less trust Cheney. This isn't 1944. It is a fraud on voters to have them vote for Bush, if they don't know that he is unlikely to finish his second term.

To date, the White House has not responded to questions. And the media have either laughed at or ignored this story. It is time for the independent 527 committees to run a TV commercial raising this issue. This story has more validity than the issues raised by O'Neill's group. See bottom of:
