Today's NYT praises the Swiss health care system - with no public option - on page A1. This is a biased hatchet job on the public option.

The Obama Administration is already hard at work, creating a list of Executive Orders to revoke on Planetary Freedom Day (Jan 20). The list includes the global gag rule on abortion counseling and reversing the stem cell funding ban...

But why be satisfied with just a couple? Let's help the Obama Administration fill out the wish list. And I'm asking for your help to nominate the ones I've missed:

Like many of you, I've been receiving Republican robocalls this week. I just received 2 more tonight.

The first one warned me that Obama wants to take my money away and give it to people who don't pay taxes. It was paid for by McCain-Palin 2008. (Call them back at 866-558-5591 and ask them to stop!)

The second one uses a clip of Obama's voice to imply that he's against any new coal fired electric plants.

Only one problem - we're environmentalists living in Brookline, Massachusetts. Why are they calling us?

Most of us gave money in the primaries; I gave in $100 increments several times, on both good days and bad ones.

I watched the debate last night, and Obama was a real leader, but I fear for how some of "my friends" could be misled by McCain.

So this morning I doubled down - I matched my primary donations today for the general election. Economic times are tough, but this is an investment we have to make.

So I challenge you - do what you can, and if you don't have a dime, knock on doors and pick up the phone.

Let's bring this election home. n/t

McCain says he will suspend his campaign so he can study the $700 billion bailout plan. Let's save him the trouble - we'll take the same deal Warren Buffett struck with Goldman Sachs.

I trust Buffett to strike a fair deal. His famous quote is so apt today:

You only learn who has been swimming naked when the tide goes out – and what we are witnessing at some of our largest financial institutions is an ugly sight.

Studies funded in part by drug companies claim that every dollar spent on drugs results in more dollars saved, but other experts aren't so sure.

While this debate rages, an expert review panel of cardiologists just dropped a nuclear weapon on a couple of heart disease drugs. Last year alone, consumers spent $5 billion on Vytorin and Zetia, two heart disease drugs sold by Merck and Schering-Plough. Did we get our money's worth?

For years the pharmaceutical industry has financed Republicans shamelessly. Now that Democrats(?) control Congress, drug companies are spreading the money around. From the WaPo:

The pharmaceutical industry, long an ally of Republicans, has increasingly worked itself into the good graces of the Democratic Party and by doing so has helped block the Democrats' top prescription-drug initiatives.

In the year since they took over on Capitol Hill, Democratic leaders have been unable to pass either a bill allowing reimportation of drugs from Canada or a measure requiring negotiation of drug prices under Medicare. Neither is likely to reach the president's desk this year. Lawmakers on both sides of these issues say the primary reason is the influence, now redirected, of the drug lobby.
