Making Health Care Better

A well thought out commentary on health care reform can be found in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise. A three-part commentary called "Health care reform is needed" is authored by Drs. Claud Roland Josh Schwartzberg. Part 1 can be found here and part 2 here. I assume part 3 will appear on Thursday.

The commentary fits in very nicely with an article published in the NYT Magazine last Sunday titled: "Making Health Care Better". Here is a taste of the article:

But there is one important way in which medicine never quite adopted the scientific method. The explosion of medical research over the last century has produced a dizzying number of treatments for different ailments. For someone with heart disease, there is bypass surgery, stenting or simply drugs and behavior changes. For a man with early-stage prostate cancer, there is surgery, radiation, proton-beam therapy or so-called watchful waiting. To enter mainstream use, any such treatment typically needs to clear a high bar. It will be subject to randomized trials, statistical-significance tests, the peer-review process of academic journals and the scrutiny of government regulators. Yet once a treatment enters the mainstream — once we know whether it works in certain situations — science is largely left behind. The next questions — when to use it and on which patients — become matters of judgment, not measurement. The decision is, once again, left to a doctor’s informed intuition.

Hoffmanization

Looks like Doug Hoffman will go down in history. Google "Hoffmanization". Use it in a sentence: How will she stand up against a stiff Hoffmanization? Hoffmanization isn't anywhere near as popular as Palinization yet and the word still doesn't show up in the Urban Dictionary.

Notice any difference?

Murphy Has Thanks of North Country Conservatives

Rep. Murphy is getting thanks from North Country conservatives, check out the comments here. Now Rep. Murphy, do you think can count on those individuals voting for you come re-election time. Those are the same people who wanted Doug Hoffman elected. Good-luck with your re-election strategy.

Brave Vulnerable House Reps

Unlike our congressman, Scott Murphy, four very vulnerable democratic House reps. voted in favor of Health Care Reform. Rep. Thomas Perriello (D-Va.), Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Ohio), Rep. Steve Driehous (D-Ohio) and Rep. Zack Space (D-Ohio) all had the courage of their convictions to vote in favor of health care reform, even though it is likely that vote will unseat them in 2010. Rep. Murphy could take a lesson in courage from those representatives.

Scott Murphy Gives Bullshit Explanation

Rep. Scott Murphy explains why he voted against the Health Care Reform Bill.

“I remain committed to the goal of providing quality, affordable health care and I will continue to fight to change the broken health care system for America’s families.”

Bullshit! At least you could be honest with those constituents that supported and voted for you. You voted no because it would have been more difficult for you to be re-elected in the 20th district. I understand that would have been the case. But I didn't support you and vote for you only to have you cast votes that can get you re-elected. You've lost my vote and my support. I am seriously thinking of leaving the Democratic party and becoming an independent. I've had enough of gutless Democrats.

NY-20 Rep. Murphy Votes Against Health Care Bill

Newly elected Congressman Scott Murphy (NY 20) was one of 39 Democratic House representatives that voted against the Health Care Bill. Twenty-four of those democratic house members were 'blue dogs' and you might have expected them to vote against the Bill. I've emailed Rep. Murphy asking for an explaination of why he voted against the Bill. I suspect I will get a wishy washy reply that doesn't really answer the question, but let's wait and see.

Freedom of Speech in the US House of Reps

What can anyone say about this? It's just embarrassing. This is the level of debate in our House of Representatives.

Large Hadron Collider Stalled Again? By Bread?

Last year the large hadron collider was "turned on" and failed due to an electrical "glitch". After almost a year of waiting, another "glitch" prevented the collider from being activated - bread crumbs.



A few weeks ago, it was suggested that the large hadron collider could be sabotaging itself from the future.

What Holger Bech Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, are suggesting is that the Higgs boson, the particle that physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be “abhorrent to nature”.

What does that mean? According to Nielsen, it means that the creation of the boson at some point in the future would then ripple backwards through time to put a stop to whatever it was that had created it in the first place.

Now this hypothesis is pretty hard to accept although it was mentioned by Fox News which gives it some level of credence to a certain population.



The above represents the standard model for 12 elementary particles (quarks and leptons) and the four fundamental force carriers. The Higgs boson, in the center, anchors them all together (more here - god particle). The Higgs boson, is thought to give all other matter its mass, without which gravity could not work.

In the current television series, "Flashforward", everyone on earth got a quick glimpse of the future when the LHC was activated.

As I see it, there are 3 possibilities: first, every time we attempt to activate the LHC, something happens to cause a glitch. This would lend more credence to the "future ripple hypothesis". Second, it is activated, creates a black hole and the earth is devoured (terminator from future failed to cause glitch in LHC?), or the LHC functioned properly but in an unexpected manner. Third, and most likely, the LHC is activated, a Higgs boson is detected and we learn more about the Higgs Boson.

Ft. Hood Shooter Advised Obama!!!!

You won't hear this on the mainstream media, but here is the story direct from World Net Daily! More proof that Pres. Obama is a communist trying to socialize our naziism.

Communists Want to Socialize Your Naziism

Jon Stewart spoofs Glen Beck. I have never watched the Glenn Beck show but this clip of Stewart spoofing Beck makes me want to start watching the show. It is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Can anyone tell me, is it really how Beck acts on his show? If so....do viewers really buy this crap?

I can't post the actual video because it has some html coding problems, but go here to view it.

Bachmann's Million Person Anti-Health Rally

G. Gordon Liddy reports one million people today at the Bachmann anti-healthcare rally. I guess he didn't see this picture of the huge crowd.

Were they able to fit the entire million people in Nancy Pelosi's office I wonder?

Fox News Sure is Accurate

Doug Shows His Colors

Don't ask Doug Hoffman to disagree with Rush "The Drugster" Limbaugh. Bestiality jokes about a fellow politician....OK with Doug.

Hoffman to Protect Marriage

The above ad was paid for by the "National Organization for Marriage". This is an organization that provides scientific reasons for why marriage (between a man and a women)matters.

Marriage reduces the risk of poverty for children and communities. I agree. So allowing any two people who love each other to marry reduces the risk of poverty.

Both men and women who marry live longer, healthier and happier lives. So if two people who love each other get married they will also live longer, healthier and happier lives.

Just living together is not the same as marriage. Again, I agree. Two people who love each other should be encouraged to get married.

So how exactly does same sex marriage endanger marriage?

“How will my same-sex marriage hurt your marriage?” Well, allowing same sex marriage will "force everyone to dramatically and permanently alter our definition of marriage." Wow! That is really dangerous and scary.

“Is polygamy next?” Hell yes. Just listen to what this dangerous gay guy has to say: I think it’s possible to love more than one person and have more than one partner. . . . In our case, it is. We have an open marriage See, married men and women never cheat or have "open marriages".

“What will public school teach?” Heather and her two Mommies will become standard kindergarten fare. Complete BS, but so what if it is true. Is there something wrong with teaching tolerance?

Hoffman Praises Beck as Mentor

HOFFMAN: I have good mentors here.

GLENN: Wait, wait. Wait, wait. Are they mentors that will show...

HOFFMAN: I'm talking about you, Glenn.

GLENN: Oh, okay. I was going to say all right, as long as they are standing out from the shadows. [...]

HOFFMAN: No. Yeah, well, I'm going to keep in touch with people like you so I don't get infected with that disease.

So is Doug proud to have a crying rodeo clown as a mentor. Is this the best mentor Doug can find or is Doug just sucking up? This is the blind leading the blind.

GOP Welcomes Moderates

John Boehner wants us to believe that the GOP welcomes moderates to the Republican party:

"We accept moderates in our party, and we want moderates in our party. We cover a wide range of Americans," said Republican House Leader John Boehner in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union."

Anyone with even half a brain knows that is just not true.

A friend of mine gave me what he thought was the Republican definition of a moderate: "someone who is opposed to burning a heretic at the stake".

Hoffman - The Shot Heard Around the World?

From today's Watertown Daily Times editorial:

It is frightening that Mr. Hoffman is so beholden to right-wing ideologues who dismiss Northern New Yorkers as parochial when people here simply want to know how Mr. Hoffman will protect their interests in Washington.

It also appears that Dede is encouraging her supporters to support Bill Owens. In spite of what John Boehner claims, moderates are not welcome in the Republican Party.
