I'm going to go ahead and say that pairing with with fetus is based more on the sauce it's served in, rather than any inherent quality that exists in a fetus, unlike say, foie gras.

Quote from: Huffington Post
7:20 PM ET -- Democratic aides: We've got the votes. "Today we will pass the Affordable Health Care for America Act," Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on the House floor Saturday evening. Politico is reporting that Democrats have at least the 218 votes needed to pass the bill. Three Democratic aides tell HuffPost the same thing.

Woot woot!

Frank Mocks Health Reform Protesters, Bachmann

Rep. Barney Frank took a swipe at Rep. Michele Bachmann for organizing a rally to protest the Democrats' health care plan.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic Rep. Barney Frank took a dig Friday at the Republican lawmaker who organized a protest by conservatives against health care legislation.

Frank, a Massachusetts liberal, told an audience: "Some of the people (at the rally) that wanted to engage me in conversation appeared to have been the losers in the 'Are you smarter than Michele Bachmann contest?"'

Rep. Bachmann, R-Minn., had organized Thursday's rally attended by thousands of conservatives critical of the Democrats' health care plan. Her spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment. Frank, who recently compared arguing with an angry voter to conversing with a dining room table, said this week's protest was like being trapped inside a furniture warehouse.

House health care bill passed. The Senate bill needs to pass, and then both will form another bill based on the two that will have to voted on again by both bodies. We're looking at December at the earliest in terms of a final vote.

It will take years for most of us to feel an effect. You can't make sweeping changes automatically.

I'll say this in support of Prole's theory:  seems a lot of these guys would rather bask in the certitude of their own, objective, metaphysical rightness than try to get results in the real world.

At least when a religious person prioritizes their own acceptance of the Revealed Truths of the Universe over proselytizing to the enemy, there's an expected payoff after death.

What's in it for the libertarian who knows that property rights exist, and doesn't care whether he convinces anyone of the fact?  An eternal life in heaven with 70 virgin Sally Hemmingses?

Poll: Snowe Could Lose 2012 GOP Primary In Landslide To Conservative Challenger
Eric Kleefeld | November 10, 2009, 11:07AM

A new survey of Maine from Public Policy Polling (D) has some dire news for Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME), with the moderate Republican potentially losing her 2012 Republican primary against a generic conservative challenger -- and by a landslide, no less.

The numbers: Conservative challenger 59%, Snowe 31%, with a ±4.8% margin of error. It is of course a long way from the idea of a generic conservative challenger to having an actual candidate, but the potential for success by just such an insurgent is certainly there.

Snowe's overall approval is 51%, to 36% disapproval. Democrats approve of her by 60%-29%, Republicans disapprove by 40%-46%, and independents approve by 51%-33%.

The pollster's analysis notes the importance of her vote for a health care bill in the Senate Finance Committee: "Snowe's numbers are steady with independents but down with both Democrats and Republicans compared to three weeks ago, an indication of the perilous political position she finds herself in. Republicans are mad at her for supporting any Democratic bill, while Democrats still are not completely happy with her because of her hesitance to support a public option."

2012 is a long way off, but still.

Family Feud: How Much Is Moon Church Conflict Driving Wash Times Turmoil?
Justin Elliott | November 10, 2009, 1:25PM

The Sunday firings of executives at the Washington Times and the possible exit of its top editor are apparently being driven more than previously known by last month's transfer of power of the Unification Church and associated business empire from Rev. Sun Myung Moon to his children.

And it looks like the trouble between the Washington Times and Unification Church headquarters in South Korea has been simmering for some time. The AP -- not the church-owned Washington Times -- was given the October 12 scoop about transfer of day-to-day operations to the three sons.

A second newsroom source tells TPM: "I knew something was wrong between the Times and the Moonies about a month ago" when the AP story ran, calling it "a horrific snub on a matter of that consequence."

The Washington Times had to run the AP version of the story the next day, October 13, and finally getting its own original piece published on the 14th.

In the wake of the shakeup, at least one former Times staffer is worried the paper could fold.

"We always thought that wouldn't happen because they have invested so much in it. But anything is possible with Preston Moon," the former staffer told TPM. The source believes the church has invested up to $2 billion in the newspaper, which was founded in the early 1980s to fight Communism. And the church is running a multi-million dollar annual deficit to keep the institution alive.

We've reached out to get the church's comment in response to our story, but did not immediately hear back. We'll update if and when the church has a statement.

Eh, it's nowhere close to the type of stuff he used to put out on the regular when he was just a columnist for the Post. As local boys, both of which I'm sure have read our fair share of Kornheiser columns, it's something Mandark and I share in common. His best stuff was rarely about sports, of if it was about sports, it was just scenery.

His last couple radio shows/podcasts have had pretty large segments dealing with health care, and I mean it hasn't been incredibly intellectually stimulating, but he seems to be genuinely interested and concerned about that issue.  He's versatile, from what I can tell.  I'm sure you have a better handle on him though, considering my only exposure to him really is through is national success.

He's very politically aware since he lives and works (well, used to) in the D.C. area. So politics is something he knows.

I used to find him far more likable before Pardon the Interruption blew up. I feel like he pines for the camera now, and it's a turn off.
