MORE PROOF THAT THE SO-CALLED "HEATHCARE INSURANCE COVERAGE CRISIS" IS ENTIRELY BOGUS
YAHOO/REUTERS:
THIS DEMOGRAPHIC SPENDS THAT ON "PERSONAL ENTERTAINMENT" EACH MONTH INSTEAD OF HEALTHCARE BECAUSE THEY ARE HEALTHY, AND MANY KNOW THAT THEY CAN GET FREE CARE IN ANY EMERGENCY ROOM.
MORE ON THE BOGUS "45 MILLION UNINSURED" HERE.
MORE ON THE SHEER IDIOCY OF SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE HERE.
BOTTOM-LINE: SO-CALLED UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE IS A ONE-WAY TICKET TO EVER INCREASING TAXES, RATIONING AND LOUSY CARE.
[THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS HAS POSTED SEVERAL DOZEN NEWS-STORIES ABOUT THE FAILINGS OF SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE FROM AROUND THE WORLD. SCROLL HERE. AND HERE.]
Adults aged 19 to 29 are the biggest group of the newly uninsured, according to an independent research group's report released on WednesdayAVERAGE MONTHLY HEALTHCARE INSURANCE PAYMENTS FOR THIS DEMOGRAPHIC IS $95 - OR LESS.
That age group made up 30 percent of the 45 million Americans without health insurance in 2005, according to the nonpartisan Commonwealth Fund.
Young adults, many who are just entering the workforce and can't afford the high cost of individual insurance, are the big drivers of an increase in uninsured adults, the report said.
"They are at a vulnerable place in the labor market," said study author Sara Collins, an assistant vice president at the fund.
U.S. employers, especially smaller businesses, are increasingly opting not to offer health insurance, leaving workers to fend for themselves in the health insurance market.
"If you don't get coverage through your employer, you're left to the individual market, and it's a very difficult market to negotiate," Collins said.
Health insurance officials often cite their efforts to market to uninsured young adults. Insurers describe this demographic as the "young invincibles," saying this group adopts an attitude that their youth protects them and therefore they do not need insurance.

"HUMAN EVOLUTION POORLY UNDERSTOOD" - AS ANOTHER THEORY FAVORED BY "SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS" BITES THE DUST
NYTIMES:
Two fossils found in Kenya have shaken the human family tree, possibly rearranging major branches thought to be in a straight ancestral line to Homo sapiens.The SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS had for decades been that Homo erectus and Homo habilus evolved one after the other. Now, that SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS has to be throw out.
Scientists who dated and analyzed the specimens — a 1.44 million-year-old Homo habilis and a 1.55 million-year-old Homo erectus — said their findings challenged the conventional view that these species evolved one after the other. Instead, they apparently lived side by side in eastern Africa for almost half a million years.
If this interpretation is correct, the early evolution of the genus Homo is left even more shrouded in mystery than before. It means that both habilis and erectus must have originated from a common ancestor between two million and three million years ago, a time when fossil hunters had drawn a virtual blank.
Although the findings do not change the relationship of Homo erectus as a direct ancestor of Homo sapiens, scientists said, the surprisingly diminutive erectus skull implies that this species was not as humanlike as once thought.
Other paleontologists and experts in human evolution said the discovery strongly suggested that the early transition from more apelike to more humanlike ancestors was still poorly understood.
This comes the sane week that another theory which had for decades been the SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS had to be throw out, too: that Caucasians in Europe descended from Africa; new evidence suggests we came from Asia.
These two cases should stand as a warning to anyone and everyone who argues that "warmening"/AGW must be true because "it's the scientific consensus!"
What is the "PC theory" at any given time is subject to change because CONSENSUS IS NOT PROOF.
Only the scientific method can offer proof.
Other than that, logical arguments and logical conjectures merely make one hypothesis more plausible than another.
We should not wreck our economy and our industries and allow the federal government - or any "world government" to have more control over our lives and liberty because many scientists find one theory more plausible than another. That's merely "scientific consensus" and it should carry little to no weight in the political realm. Because it is subject to change. It has ALWAYS been subject to change. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW SCIENCE WORKS!
The Inflationary Universe
Michael Turner of the University of Chicago talks about the Big Bang and the Inflationary Universe. A deep subject given a light hearted treatment. You might want to get up to speed on the physics idea of "time horizon" in relation to the speed of light before digging in. Or keep repeating the section from about 7 1/4 minutes in on the first video until it makes sense. His "view graphs" owe a lot to Batman Comics. The videos require "Real Player".

Background to the Pace University Koran Nonsense
We read:

"As you may recall, I twice discussed the questionably anti-Semitic behavior of Pace administrators in mistreating the campus student Jewish organization, while kowtowing to demands of the student Muslim groups.
In the columns, I make it clear that the campus administration took radically different approaches to anti-Semitic behavior and anti-Muslim behavior. When a Menorah was desecrated on campus and a swastika was drawn on a Holocaust memorial event poster, the University's president David A. Caputo labeled the events as "bias incidents." When a paperback Koran was tossed in a toilet - resulting in minimal water damage - Caputo labeled the incident as a "hate crime" that outraged him.
To realize the great lengths to which the University mistreated both these incidents, I highly recommend you read my column from January of this year. The treatment of both incidents gives the following news greater context.
Now, police have discovered who was responsible for the Koran-toilet incident: Stanislav Shmulevich, a Russian Jewish immigrant who was a student at Pace while anti-Semitic vandalism was occurring and going unpunished. He is being charged with felony hate crimes that could land him in jail for up to four years - just for putting a book in a toilet....
Now, back to the paperback Koran and its unfortunate swim in a toilet bowl. Is this really a hate crime? No one was physically hurt. The damage to the Koran was minimal. The Koran in question was a paperback copy - not a priceless religious document. There was no personal target of the demonstration - the target was a paperback book. This was a constitutionally protected act of free speech, regardless of what New York's hate crime bill states, the same way dropping a crucifix in a jar of urine was protected speech.

Fascism reborn in Russia
Sadly, Fascism was always popular and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has rediscovered that. Excerpts below:
Remember the mammoths, say the clean-cut organisers at the youth camp's mass wedding. "They became extinct because they did not have enough sex. That must not happen to Russia". Obediently, couples move to a special section of dormitory tents arranged in a heart-shape and called the Love Oasis, where they can start procreating for the motherland. With its relentlessly upbeat tone, bizarre ideas and tight control, it sounds like a weird indoctrination session for a phony religious cult. But this organisation - known as "Nashi", meaning "Ours" - is youth movement run by Vladimir Putin's Kremlin that has become a central part of Russian political life.
Nashi's annual camp, 200 miles outside Moscow, is attended by 10,000 uniformed youngsters and involves two weeks of lectures and physical fitness. Attendance is monitored via compulsory electronic badges and anyone who misses three events is expelled. So are drinkers; alcohol is banned. But sex is encouraged, and condoms are nowhere on sale. Bizarrely, young women are encouraged to hand in thongs and other skimpy underwear - supposedly a cause of sterility - and given more wholesome and substantial undergarments.
Twenty-five couples marry at the start of the camp's first week and ten more at the start of the second. These mass weddings, the ultimate expression of devotion to the motherland, are legal and conducted by a civil official. Attempting to raise Russia's dismally low birthrate even by eccentric-seeming means might be understandable. Certainly, the country's demographic outlook is dire. The hard-drinking, hard-smoking and disease-ridden population is set to plunge by a million a year in the next decade.
But the real aim of the youth camp - and the 100,000-strong movement behind it - is not to improve Russia's demographic profile, but to attack democracy. Under Mr Putin, Russia is sliding into fascism, with state control of the economy, media, politics and society becoming increasingly heavy-handed. And Nashi, along with other similar youth movements, such as 'Young Guard', and 'Young Russia', is in the forefront of the charge.
At the start, it was all too easy to mock. I attended an early event run by its predecessor, 'Walking together', in the heart of Moscow in 2000. A motley collection of youngsters were collecting 'unpatriotic' works of fiction for destruction. It was sinister in theory, recalling the Nazis' book-burning in the 1930s, but it was laughable in practice. There was no sign of ordinary members of the public handing in books (the copies piled on the pavement had been brought by the organisers).
Once the television cameras had left, the event organisers admitted that they were not really volunteers, but being paid by "sponsors". The idea that Russia's anarchic, apathetic youth would ever be attracted into a disciplined mass movement in support of their president - what critics called a "Putinjugend", recalling the "Hitlerjugend" (German for "Hitler Youth") - seemed fanciful.
How wrong we were. Life for young people in Russia without connections is a mixture of inadequate and corrupt education, and a choice of boring dead-end jobs. Like the Hitler Youth and the Soviet Union's Young Pioneers, Nashi and its allied movements offer not just excitement, friendship and a sense of purpose - but a leg up in life, too. Nashi's senior officials - known, in an eerie echo of the Soviet era, as "Commissars" - get free places at top universities. Thereafter, they can expect good jobs in politics or business - which in Russia nowadays, under the Kremlin's crony capitalism, are increasingly the same thing.
Nashi and similar outfits are the Kremlin's first line of defence against its greatest fear: real democracy. Like the sheep chanting "Four legs good, two legs bad" in George Orwell's Animal Farm, they can intimidate through noise and numbers. Nashi supporters drown out protests by Russia's feeble and divided democratic opposition and use violence to drive them off the streets....
Nashi fits perfectly into the Kremlin's newly-minted ideology of "Sovereign democracy". This is not the mind-numbing jargon of Marxism-Leninism, but a lightweight collection of cliches and slogans promoting Russia's supposed unique political and spiritual culture. It is strongly reminiscent of the Tsarist era slogan: "Autocracy, Orthodoxy and Nationality". The similarities to both the Soviet and Tsarist eras are striking. Communist ideologues once spent much of their time explaining why their party deserved its monopoly of power, even though the promised utopia seemed indefinitely delayed. Today, the Kremlin's ideology chief Vladislav Surkov is trying to explain why questioning the crooks and spooks who run Russia is not just mistaken, but treacherous.
Yet, by comparison with other outfits, Nashi looks relatively civilised. Its racism and prejudice is implied, but not trumpeted. Other pro-Kremlin youth groups are hounding gays and foreigners off the streets of Moscow. Mestnye [The Locals] recently distributed leaflets urging Muscovites to boycott non-Russian cab drivers. These showed a young blonde Russian refusing a ride from a swarthy, beetle-browed taxi driver, under the slogan: "We're not going the same way." Such unofficial xenophobia matches the official stance. On April 1, a decree explicitly backed by Mr Putin banned foreigners from trading in Russia's retail markets. By some estimates, 12m people are working illegally in Russia.
Those who hoped that Russia's first post-totalitarian generation would be liberal, have been disappointed. Although explicit support for extremist and racist groups is in the low single figures, support for racist sentiments is mushrooming. Slogans such as "Russia for the Russians" now attract the support of half of the population. Echoing Kremlin propaganda, Nashi denounced Estonians as "fascist", for daring to say that they find Nazi and Soviet memorials equally repugnant. But, in truth, it is in Russia that fascism is all too evident. The Kremlin sees no role for a democratic opposition, denouncing its leaders as stooges and traitors. Sadly, most Russians agree: a recent poll showed that a majority believed that opposition parties should not be allowed to take power.....
A new guide for history teachers - explicitly endorsed by Mr Putin - brushes off Stalin's crimes. It describes him as "the most successful leader of the USSR". But it skates over the colossal human cost - 25m people were shot and starved in the cause of communism. "Political repression was used to mobilise not only rank-and-file citizens but also the ruling elite," it says. In other words, Stalin wanted to make the country strong, so he may have been a bit harsh at times. At any time since the collapse of Soviet totalitarianism in the late 1980s, that would have seemed a nauseating whitewash. Now, it is treated as bald historical fact.
Terrifyingly, the revived Soviet view of history is now widely held in Russia. A poll this week of Russian teenagers showed that a majority believe that Stalin did more good things than bad. If tens of thousands of uniformed German youngsters were marching across Germany in support of an authoritarian Fuehrer, baiting foreigners and praising Hitler, alarm bells would be jangling all across Europe. So why aren't they ringing about Nashi?

HILLARY CLINTON IS A LIAR, A PERJURER AND A FELON
Hillary Clinton is a left-wing, lying, cheating demagogue - WHICH MEANS SHE'D B E PERFECT STANDARD-BEARER FOR THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!
Seriously, if you want the truth about Hillary read this long post (by John Stephenson) - (I won t say shocking truth, because nothing she or her crooked husband do can shock anymore!):
Seriously, if you want the truth about Hillary read this long post (by John Stephenson) - (I won t say shocking truth, because nothing she or her crooked husband do can shock anymore!):
In the following timeline, we will see apparent evidence of Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign understating over $750,000 in contributions to her 2000 Senate campaign, from one Peter Paul.
Evidently, Hillary's campaign initially denied even knowing Peter Paul, [THEY'RE PICTURED TOGETHER ON THE LEFT.] and then later, admitted meeting him but never had a conversation regarding his contribution to her campaign.
Hillary Clinton will finally be under oath in the historic civil suit, Paul v Clinton in Los Angeles Superior Court. Voters are going to see the details of the greatest campaign finance fraud in history and the Clinton role in the collapse of Stan Lee Media.
It is going to take anarmy armada of bloggers to break the media blockade that has protected Hillary. It is time for TRUTH BOATING HILLARY.

It is going to take an
Here is the TIMELINE that even the mainstream media can understand:
TIMELINE:
Feb. 2000 - Peter Paul is induced to support Hillary's 2000 Senate campaign with the promise of access to Bill Clinton to be able to make a proposal to come aboard Stan Lee Media as a rainmaker when he left the WH
June 9, 2000 - Paul pays for two Hillary Clinton fundraisers at Spago and the home of Cynthia Gershman ... the costs are never declared by the campaign (note: a previous fundraiser through Rendell for Al Gore, paid for by Paul, was also never declared; Rendell also never declared a 150K stock pledge) ... at the Spago lunch, Paul spent considerable time with Hillary and discussed his plan for her husband's employment... see the 20/20 report from 2001...Amazingly, in her declaration of 4-7-06, Hillary acts as if she barely knew Peter Paul and claimed she couldn't remember anything they might have said. Besides the email comments, Paul has video of her going on and on about how Stan Lee was a genius for hiring Paul. She is really excited about Paul's idea of a cartoon character of Al Gore, and she wants to talk to Tony Coehlo and Terry McAuliffe about it. Her failure to remember is simply a lie.
June 23, 2000 - Kelly Craighead (a White House employee, not part of any joint funraising committee), Jim Levin, David Rosen (all agents of Hillary and Bill) meet with Aaron Tonken (agent of Paul and fundraiser for Ed Rendell) to originate the idea for a major fundraising event for Hillary as part of the Aug. 14-20 DNC Convention in L.A.
July 11, 2000 - conference call between Peter Paul, Tonken, Craighead, Wolfson, Levin, and Rosen in which Paul is solicited to pay for the Hollywood Gala....he is asked to pay $525K, and it is expected that Cynthia Gershman will pay a like amount....it was acknowledged by all that the fundraiser would cost over a million dollars
July 17, 2000 - Paul films the SMOKING GUN VIDEO. This video was withheld by an assistant US ATTY while investigations were proceeding. Hillary is shown soliciting and coordination the $1.6 mil in-kind, hard money donation. Kelly Craighead kept her completely briefed and she offered any help she could. David Kendall's claim that this was a joint fundraiser, and thus hard money, won't fly. Craighead was a White House employee who solicited the money on July 11. Hillary was part of closing the deal on July 17.
Aug. 12, 2000 - Hollywood Gala... it raises a million dollars for Hillary, but it cost over a million dollars...Paul spent several hours with Bill Clinton... here they are putting the final touches on the deal at the after concert dinner... Look at all the photos of the gala... Hillary actually said in her declaration of 4-7-06, "I remember Mr. Paul attending the event..." How insulting was that? Actually, she spent hours near him and publicly thanked him from the stage for all he did.
Aug 13 - Paul and his wife Andrea are at the home of Barbra Streisand for Clinton Library donors...when Hillary sees Andrea, she runs over to her, brings her over to Streisand, and introduces her as "the wife of the man who funded last night's event...my new best friend"... Streisand's testimony should be interesting... Chelsea came up to the table with Paul, Andrea, Tendo Oto, Oto's interpreter Jonathon Rogers, Jim Levin, and Haim Saban. Chelsea discussed for at least a half an hour how excited she and her parents were about her dad coming to work for the creator of Spider Man... Hillary sets up her daughter for perjury
Aug. 13 - Tendo Oto and SLM make their deal for Asian partnership - Oto gives $5 mil and promises another $5-7 mil in November for the American joint venture...On Aug. 12 he had paid $27K to attend the federal fundraiser gala. Giving money was illegal. Attending was illegal. Since Oto had no social security number to check out when he showed up at the event with his camera crew, the Secret Service said no way. Clinton had the Secret Service stand down, and Oto sat directly behind the president and first lady.
Aug 14 - Ed Rendell calls Peter Paul in a panic. Lloyd Grove is preparing a story for the WASHPOST about Paul's felony record for "The Cuban Coffee Caper" two decades previous when he was an international attorney in Miami. Rendell tells Paul to deny he gave any money and just play along. Shortly after the warning call, Grove called. Here is the callsheet from SLM, certified by the government as evidence.
Aug 15 - Lloyd Grove writes the story in the WASHPOST about Paul's felony past from two decades previous involving the Cuban Coffee Caper and defrauding Fidel Castro of $8.7 million ... Howard Wolfson vows that they would never take any money from Peter Paul
Aug 17 - Grove writes a second story about $2,000 given by Paul at Spago ... Wolfson says they will return the money, and a check is immediately cut and sent to Paul ... Wolfson actually admits that the gala cost a million dollars but says it was in-kind and not a check. (Ummm, in-kind is hard money, Howard)
Aug 18 - behind the scenes, while disavowing him in public, the Clintons write personal notes to Paul, dated Aug 18, espressing their gratitude ... Hillary: "We will remember it always"... Bill's note... Even Chelsea got into the act.
Aug 24 - Campaign Finance Chairman David Rosen is directed to send a fax to Paul asking for another $100,000 (actually, one of several faxes) ... Hillary had promised the money for the Working Families Party in New York ... Paul will send no more money until he hears it face to face from Bill Clinton that they still have a deal (second document shows Gordon's acknowledgement that it was "done")
Sept. 22, 2000 - Clinton steps off AF-1 in Los Angeles (we have photo) and assures Paul that the deal is still a go ... Paul has Steven Gordon send a stock transfer of $55K to the Working Families Party for Hillary... we can find no evidence that they ever declared that donation. If the Clintons were disavowing Paul in public, claimed he gave no money, and had no business arrangement with the President as claimed by Hillary, why would the President of the United States be meeting Paul in public as he stepped off AF-1? For what possible purpose? That's not hard to figure out, is it?
Nov 7 - Hillary is elected
Nov 13 - just six days after Hillary's election, an agreement for Venture Soft USA Inc is recorded in Illinois between Jim Levin, Clinton's business adviser, and Tendo Oto ... Levin was Clinton's "eyes and ears" in dealing with Paul, got proprietary business information, and stole the Japanese partner for their own deal
Dec 2000 - Stan Lee Media collapses ... the additional $5-7 million promised in November from partner Tendo Oto was not received due to the Clinton/Levin interference In Paul v Clinton, it will be proven that Oto's money would have kept the company solvent until Clinton came aboard as he had promised Peter Paul.
Early 2001 - Paul discovers that the campaign has filed two fraudulent FEC reports, only reporting 366K for the cost of Event 39 ... he spent over a million dollars on it
June 18, 2001 - Paul files initial lawsuit against the Clintons and several others for business fraud
July 3 - Treasurer Andrew Grossman is served with the lawsuit that includes documentation for $1.6 million spent by Paul
July 11 - David Kendall accepts service for Hillary along with the $1.6 million documented expenses
July 18 - press conference at National Press Club . Paul has messenger hand deliver a demand letter to Hillary's senate office
July 30 - despite Paul's demand and all of the documentation, a third false FEC report is filed ... this time they declare $401K for Event 39 ... still no mention of Paul as the real donor
Jan 2005 - criminal indictment of David Rosen is unsealed
May 2005 - Rosen acquitted in criminal trial in Los Angeles...the perjury in this trial was astounding...the judge and prosecutor went out of their way to condemn Paul and claim that Hillary had nothing to do with it is also astounding... FBI affidavit during the trial documenting $1.2 mil from Paul that was not declared. The prosecution does not call Paul, Aaron Tonken, or key witness Kelly Craighead (Craighead was also never called by the FEC - she will be a key witness in Paul v Clinton).... The prosecution does not use damaging evidence against Rosen obtained while Ray Reggie (brother in law of Ted Kennedy) was wearing a wire. In Tonken's book, KING OF CONS, he tells how he sat in a van with Hillary detailing all of the money that was being spent on her.
Dec 2005 - FEC determines that the campaign deliberately underreported $721,000, fines the campaign a mere $35,000, and orders a new filing...treasurer Andrew Grossman signs conciliation agreement with the FEC, the equivalent of a nolo contendre plea
Jan 2006 - thefourth fraudulent FEC report is filed ... among the problems are Stan Lee (whom we have on tape in a deposition swearing that he gave no money) is credited with a 225K donation and Paul is still never named personally as the donor as he has demanded
April 7, 2006 - Hillary removed as defendant but judge made clear to Kendall that she would be testifying ... the declaration turned into the court by Kendall for Hillary can only be described as a work of fiction ... no reporters attended the hearing and not one mainstream media source wrote that a trial date had been set for defendant Bill Clinton (trial date postponed until appeal is heard to bring Hillary back in as a defendant) ... Chelsea will be one of the witnesses called ... although her mom claims no knowledge of the business deal, if Chelsea testifies honestly, she will tell how the family stayed up late after the gala playing scrabble and discussing the excitement of daddy going to work for the creator of Spiderman ... from a private fundraiser at Zev Braun's house in early 2000, Paul has home video of Hillary laughing and discussing with him how he had arranged in 1993 for Fabio to chase her around the room and pick her up in a romance pose...the president referenced that event the next year at the Italian-American Foundation Dinner.... her declaration claiming that she met Paul in early 2000 is simply a lie
June 2006 - Senate Ethics Committee announces it will not investigate Hillary and simply relies on the flawed FEC procedure ... subsequently, they refuse Paul's offer to appear and testity
Oct. 18, 2006 - new demand letter for return of over a million dollars is delivered to Hillary's DC office with copy delivered to Sen. Voinovich, chair of the Senate Ethics Committee
Jan. 10, 2007 - Paul counsel files Appellate Brief to bring Hillary back into the case as a defendant (that delays the trial date for Bill, set for March 27, 2007...it also delays depositions)....no mainstream media source had reported that defendant Bill Clinton had a trial date in a case involving the collapse of Spiderman Stan Lee's company)
April 2007 - after a two-year battle for the return of evidence, including home videos, an assistant US atty provides Paul with a list of items they will return to him.....included was the "smoking gun video": July 17, 5-minute conference call, Hillary Clinton..... when the numerous pieces of evidence were finally sent, the shipment did not include that video.....Paul's counsel argues vehemently for that to be sent....Paul believes that a low-level functionary screwed up by putting that piece of evidence on the manifest -- Hillary never thought it would see the light of day...that video was finally sent because they could not deny its possession
June 20, 2007 - look at this page under "Latest Filings" for June 20 briefs and declarations
July 27, 2007 - court notification that oral arguments are set for Sept. 7 before the California Court of Appeals.... a decision on whether Hillary is brought back in as a defendant is expected within 10 days thereafter.... then, it is time for depositions.... if David Kendall loses, he may appeal to the California Supreme Court.....that court had earlier refused to hear the argument about removal of Bill Clinton from the case.... Kendall may be able to delay it for a short time, but depositions are expected to begin this year.

MODERATE MUSLIMS IN PAKISTAN
Some Pakistani singers got together to do a song that would help communicate the message that not all Muslims are radical terrorists. The song is entitled, "This is Not Us". It is a beautiful song, take the time to watch and listen. It gives me hope.

ZAPATERO'S IMMIGRATION SUPERIORITY COMPLEX
A great post in The Brussels Journal (a must-read blog for all TAB fans) by Soeren Kern on the cheeky behavior of Spanish Prime Minister José Zapatero during his recent visit to Mexico.
Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero deserves a special award for transatlantic chutzpah. During his recent visit to Mexico, he ended the state dinner held in his honor by toasting Mexican President Felipe Calderón with a sterling example of post-modern pontification for which Spanish leftists are so famous: “There is no wall that can obstruct the dream of a better life,” Zapatero proclaimed.The “wall” that Zapatero is so worried about is, of course, the anti-illegal immigrant fence that, if everything goes as planned, will one day run along one-third of the 2,000 mile (3,200 km) border between Mexico and the United States… and not the twin razor wire-topped fences that separate the Spain’s north African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla from those people in Morocco and the rest of Africa who have dreams of a better life in Spain.

MORE PROOF FROM THE UK THAT SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE SUCKS - A LINK ROUNDUP
NEWS MD: Diabetic ethnic minorities lose out in Britain
Patients from ethnic minorities are not only more likely to suffer from diabetes, but also receive lower quality care from the National Health Service (NHS), claims a paper published in the online open access journal, International Journal for Equity in Health.GUARDIAN:Patients leave hospital half-starved and the NHS is chucking food in the bin. Surely there is a solution
Michael Soljak, together with colleagues from Imperial College, London, UK, investigated the treatment received in 2002 by 21,343 diabetic patients in three North West London Primary Care Trusts (PCTs): Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, and Hounslow. The researchers also compared the patients general health, shown by factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and diabetes control, to the patients treatment.
General practitioners (GPs) were encouraged to record new patients ethnicity by providing training and support to the practices. Of the diabetic patients in the three PCTs, 70 percent had a valid ethnicity code, obtained through patient questionnaires and entered by practice staff.
The authors found that although diabetes control was worse among the South Asian population, a smaller proportion of South Asians were prescribed insulin.
How lucky we are to have meals provided in hospitals. In some countries all you get is your treatment and the bed, and your family has to traipse in with your dinners. Bad luck if you don't have a family. But bad luck over here as well if you don't have a family, because droves of NHS patients are leaving hospital with malnutrition, particularly the elderly. Yes they get their dinners, but the food is either too ghastly to eat, or they can't feed themselves.GUARDIAN: Minister admits NHS is failing on dementia
Nothing new in that; it has been going on for years.
About 600,000 people afflicted by dementia are being let down by the NHS and local authority social services, a health minister admitted yesterday. ...SCOTSMAN: Patients sick of health staff shortages
"We know too many families feel the current NHS and social care systems are not meeting their needs. The current system is failing too many dementia sufferers and their carers," he said when announcing the strategy at St Charles hospital in North Kensington, London.
STAFF shortages have led to a surge in the number of complaints about NHS services in the Lothians.THIS WAS JUST IN TODAY'S NEWSPAPERS.
An average of nearly five formal complaints were made every day in the first three months of the year, new figures show.
The most common concerns related to clinical treatment, the attitude and behaviour of staff, and the date of appointments. But there was a big rise – from four to 25 – in complaints about the shortage or availability of staff.
One hospital worker today told how her department rarely has enough staff, which she said lowers morale and affects patient care.
I THINK IT PROVES THAT TAXPAYER FINANCED, GOVERNMENT RUN "UNIVERSAL" HEALTHCARE IS NO PANACEA. IN FACT: IT SUCKS. BIGTIME.
Europe under threat - part 2: Mark Malloch Brown and the transnationalist left
HOT AIR:
MAYBE THEY'LL CALL IT "THE MEDITERRANEAN UNION."
UK Foreign Office Minister Mark Malloch-Brown, a wholly owned subsidiary of Soros International (there’s more than one link in that phrase), said prior to his becoming FM that the UK ought to cede its seat on the UNSC to the European Union:
Last October, when Lord Malloch-Brown was the UN’s deputy secretary general, he told EU diplomats in Brussels that the EU was heading towards one single seat within the UN institutions. “I think it will go in stages. We are going to see a growing spread of it institution by institution,” he was reported as saying.
Lord Malloch-Brown said he hoped it would happen “as quickly as possible. I’m a huge fan of it.”
PM Gordon Brown says there’s no move afoot to give up the UK seat, but of course there actually is an incremental move to cede UK foreign policy to the EU, without anything as messy as democracy getting in the way.
Lord Malloch-Brown is an interesting and very influential creature, a transnational progressive of the first order who can be seen on the world stage here and there, taking turns at bat for the Soros set, papering over massive corruption at the UN and causing and exploiting policy differences between the transnational left and the US.
USE THE LINKS.
THIS IS PART OF THE LEFTIST THREAT TO EUROPE. THEY'RE TURNING THE EU INTO THE EUSSR/EURABIA.MAYBE THEY'LL CALL IT "THE MEDITERRANEAN UNION."
MUSHARRAF IS A BETTER ALLY OF THE USA THAN OBAMA
YAHOO/AP:
President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said Tuesday that talk of U.S. military strikes against al-Qaida in Pakistan only hurts the fight against terrorism, and his troops bombarded militant hideouts in their strongest response yet to a month of anti-government attacks. Ten suspected militants were killed.
The assault by artillery and helicopter gunships "knocked out" two compounds in Daygan village in the tribal belt near the border with Afghanistan that were being used as staging posts for attacks on security forces, said Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad, the army's top spokesman.
Ten militants were killed and at least seven were wounded in the operation, about 10 miles west of Miran Shah, the main town in the North Waziristan region, he said.
No ground troops were used in the operation, and the report on militant casualties was based on information from "local sources," he said without elaborating.
There were at least four smaller-scale bombings and shootings in the border region Tuesday, the latest in almost daily violence that has intensified pressure on Musharraf to crack down on militants in the area.
Musharraf, a key ally in Washington's war against terrorism, told visiting Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., that comments by senior U.S. officials and presidential hopefuls about the possibility of unilateral U.S. strikes within the country were not helpful. Musharraf met Durbin in the southern city of Karachi.
"He emphasized that only Pakistan's security forces, which were fully capable of dealing with any situation, would take counterterrorism action inside Pakistani territory," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"The president pointed out that certain recent U.S. statements were counterproductive to the close cooperation and coordination between the two countries in combating the threat of terrorism," the ministry said.
President Bush said Monday that America and Pakistan, if armed with good intelligence, could track and kill al-Qaida leaders in Pakistan. He stopped short of saying whether he would ask Musharraf before dispatching U.S. troops to the country.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., a presidential candidate, has said that he would use military force in Pakistan if necessary to root out terrorists, prompting angry responses from Pakistani officials.
Musharraf also described a new law tying U.S. aid to Pakistan to progress in combating militants as an "irritant in the bilateral relationship," the statement said.
I've long maintained that Musharraf is an okay ally - NOT PERFECT, but neither is FRANCE! On balance both are good allies, and Musharraf's position is much MUCH trickier. He needs our wiliest support, not public undercutting from hack politicians - like Obama!
DURBIN AND HIS CORRUPT CRONIE OBAMA SHOULD STOP AIDING THE ENEMY AND SHOULD START SUPPORTING USA POLICY AND OUR ALLIES.
BUT SINCE THEY'RE COMMITTED LEFTISTS, I SUPPOSE THAT'S TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR!

Europe under threat: IS THE CONCEPT OF A "MEDITERRANEAN UNION" JUST A EURO-LEFTIST WAY OF SELLING EURABIA?
YES.
NYTIMES HERE.
TRUTH HERE.
This Mediterranean Union is an old idea - one Chirac embraced. It led directly to the huge influx of un-assimilated Arabs into Europe - a Fifth Column. One aligned with the postmodernist Left; they share a common goal: destroying Western Europe and Judeo-Christian Civilization.

MORE CLASS-BAITING DEMAGOGUERY, LEFTIST LIES AND PROPAGANDISTIC PANDERING FROM JOHN EDWARDS
Edwards said that NAFTA was bad and had cost the USA jobs.
He is either an idiot or a liar who thinks he can win by pandering to idiots.
WHY?
Edwards is a lying SOB leftist who would turn over the federal government and the economy to his left-wing comrades.
Which means he'd make a GREAT NOMINEE FOR TODAY'S DEMOCRAT PARTY!
He is either an idiot or a liar who thinks he can win by pandering to idiots.
WHY?
SIMPLE:
NAFTA was passed in 1992, an since then the USA has added more than 30MILLION jobs to the economy.Edwards is wrong on the facts. Typically wrong - just like a typical leftist. DETAILS HERE.
Edwards is a lying SOB leftist who would turn over the federal government and the economy to his left-wing comrades.

THE BLATANT HYPOCRISY OF JIHADISTS
HERE'S PROOF THAT, STRICTLY ON RELIGIOUS TERMS, JIHADISTS LIKE THOSE IN HAMAS ARE FREAKIN' HYPOCRITICAL SCUM:
BBC:
SALAHEDDIN, 50s, MUSICIAN, GAZA CITYOKAY, OKAY, OKAY... LET ME SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT:
I lead a group of 26 musicians - we play traditional Palestinian music. But for the last two months we haven't been able to work.
This group, Hamas, believe they are the leaders of Islam. The violin, piano, flute, all these instruments are banned. Only the drum is allowed. They say any other instrument is not mentioned in the Koran.
Playing violin is banned because violins were not in the Koran. But it's okay to use ied's and jets, and cellphones and YOUTUBE and cars and electricity, etc., etc., etc., and so forth, and so on.
WHAT FREAKIN' HYPOCRITES.
Not surprising: The kind of inhuman scum who would murder their own flesh and blood to restore family honor would of course be inconsistent about applying simple rules about the Koran.
And as I have written over and over again: this kind of stuff makes them fundamentally worse that the Hitler and the Nazis or Stalin and the Soviets or Mao or Pol Pot.
The jihadists have not yet committed genocide on the same scale as these famous atheist leftist genocidal-maniacs only because the jihadists still lack the means to inflict genocide on a mega-scale.
If we do not defeat them before they do, then we will suffer the consequences.
Millions and millions and millions of people will suffer the consequences.
THE LEFT LOVES COINCIDENCES
THE LEFT ARGUES THAT:
THEY DO THIS BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THEM TO MAINTAIN DENIAL; IT ALLOWS THEM TO CONTINUE TO HOLD THEIR BLATANTLY FALSE AND HARMFUL POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.
I WAS ONCE ANTI-REAGAN, ANTI-RUDY, AND A DOVE WHO WAS SOFT ON THE USSR.
I SAW THE LIGHT.
I BELIEVE EVERYONE ON THE LEFT CAN, TOO.
THAT'S WHY I BLOG.
- REAGAN DID NOT WIN THE COLD WAR
- RUDY GIULIANI DID NOT SAVE NEW YORK

- STIFFER PRISON TERMS AND THE DEATH PENALTY HAVE NOT LOWERED CRIME
- WITHDRAWING SUPPORT FOR SOUTH VIETNAM DID NOT ENCOURAGE OUR ENEMIES OR LEAD TO GENOCIDE
WERE COINCIDENCES.
- THE FALL OF THE USSR,
- THE IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN NYC,
- THE BOOMING 1980'S AND GREAT BUSH ECONOMY,
- AND POL POT AND A DECADE OF USSR EXPANSION IN THE 1970'S
THEY DO THIS BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THEM TO MAINTAIN DENIAL; IT ALLOWS THEM TO CONTINUE TO HOLD THEIR BLATANTLY FALSE AND HARMFUL POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.

THE GIST OF LEFTIST PROPAGANDA: ONLY THE NAMES CHANGE (AND NOT ALL OF THEM, EITHER!)
ANOTHER THEORY - HELD TO BE TRUE BECAUSE IT WAS THE "SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS" - IS ABOUT TO BITE THE DUST
YAHOO/AFP:
OKAY: THE CONVENTIONAL/WIDELY HELD/CONSENSUS THEORY WAS THAT WE ALL CAME FORM AFRICA. IT WAS FORMULATED ION 1987. AND IS NOW REJECTED.A new analysis of the dental fossils of human ancestors suggests that Asian populations played a larger role than Africans in colonizing Europe millions of years ago, said a study released Monday.
The findings challenge the prevailing "Out of Africa" theory, which holds that anatomically modern man first arose from one point in Africa and fanned out to conquer the globe, and bolsters the notion that Homo sapiens evolved from different populations in different parts of the globe.
The "Out of Africa" scenario has been underpinned since 1987 by genetic studies based mainly on the rate of mutations in mitochondrial DNA, a cell material inherited from the maternal line of ancestry.
But for this study, European researchers opted to study the tooth fossil record of modern man's ancestors because of their high component of genetic expression.
The investigators examined the shapes of more than 5,000 teeth from human ancestors from Africa, Asia and Europe dating back millions of years.
They found that European teeth had more Asian features than African ones.
THAT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT SCIENCE.
THAT'S HOW SCIENCE WORKS. ONE THEORY DOMINATES UNTIL ANOTHER ONE COMES ALONG THAT BETTER EXPLAINS PREVIOUS PHENOMENA AND NEW PHENOMENA.
THIS IS WHY IT IS WISE NOT TO PLACE TO MUCH FAITH IN CONSENSUS THEORIES - OR CONVENTIONAL WISDOM.
CONSENSUS THEORIES HAVE WEIGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE POPULAR, NOT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN PROVEN USING THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
IOW: WHEN YOU HERE THE WORD CONSENSUS, REACH FOR YOU BULLSHITOMETER.
THIS GOES FOR AGW, TOO.
IS THE LEFTIST SHADOW GOVERNMENT FINALLY GOING TO BE EXPOSED TO THE LIGHT?
There's a cadre of comrades within the CIA which has been undermining the policies set by the ELECTED government of the USA; they're the ones who have leaked information about policies they don't like - such as: rendition/secret prisons; the SWIFT bank monitoring program; the NSA intercept program; the yellowcake/uranium Niger/Africa controversy; and so on.
These leaks damaged our national security and aided the enemy. And fueled the BDS propaganda wars here, and the anti-American propaganda wars abroad.
Well now it seems as if the Bush Administration is finally going to do something about it.
Read all about what seems like an impending indictment (of a former CIA operative/analysts - who presently works for... GEORGE SOROS) - HERE and HERE and HERE.
I wouldn't be surprised if a leading senior Democrat Senator is indicted too!

Brainwashed Students in Los Angeles
A critic of racism gets called a racist:
(For more postings from me, see TONGUE-TIED, EDUCATION WATCH INTERNATIONAL, GREENIE WATCH, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS WATCH, FOOD & HEALTH SKEPTIC, GUN WATCH, SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, AUSTRALIAN POLITICS, DISSECTING LEFTISM, IMMIGRATION WATCH INTERNATIONAL and EYE ON BRITAIN. My Home Pages are here or here or here. Email me (John Ray) here.)
"In an editorial for a school newspaper, I criticized how the school's four ethnic theme dorms (African-American, American Indian, Asian and Latino) stereotyped minorities by categorizing individuals by race rather than considering broader personal experiences and values. The response: How dare I condemn the established multicultural institutions on campus! Didn't I know that I had no business commenting on the issue since, as one student stated on a campus forum, I was just a "white, libertarian girl from the O.C." Considering how often students refer to their right of free speech when they criticize the school or presidential administration, their reactions to my article were stunning.
I received so many caustic e-mails and messages the weekend after my article was published that my residential adviser actually asked me to inform him if I received any tangible threats. Luckily, these messages were just irrationally irate, not violent. Students accused me of being a racist and an ignoramus because no one they knew had ever objected to the houses....
One boy called me a racist and then told me that he was "greatly offended by the white perspective that [I] hold." Many minorities actually belittled me for suggesting that the school should evaluate them on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. I wonder if I had quoted Martin Luther King's speech verbatim if they still would have accused me of having a racist, "white perspective." "
As I've learned in my humanities classes, the words "black" and "Indian" are taboo in academia. Do these words pose a clear and present danger? Only to the person who utters them. But considering the brouhaha that followed my article, they may well be "fighting words." If you use them around college students, prepare for a fight, or at least a scowl. Though I've heard some African-American students call one another "n*gger," white students still can't use the neutral term "black."
