Here's another word misuse - I see a fair amount of personals ads that say to the effect, "If my ad peaks your interest...."

Not a common one at all, but I think I mentioned the fanfic where Eric got "eternal" bleeding.

Here's another word misuse - I see a fair amount of personals ads that say to the effect, "If my ad peaks your interest...."

In audio personal ads I've heard more than a few people describe themselves as "articalit".

Jessica, you have a Flip video camera, yeah? Mine has been freezing up and I don't know how to fix it.

Hey, some actual health care policy arguments from republicans. Yea.

New Objections to Baucus Health Care Proposal

I think there are even some, well 'some' might be too strong a word, maybe 'a couple of', reasonable idea(s).

The committee documents show that Mr. Grassley has reservations about this approach. He believes that “the individual responsibility to have health coverage should be reconsidered and replaced with a reinsurance policy to ensure that affordable health coverage is available to everyone in a voluntary system, with a lower overall cost for the package,” one document says.

I think a reasonable idea to consider. I believe this was a good idea that Kerry had in his 2004 campaign.

The third Republican in the group, Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, is pushing another idea to make insurance readily available. She urged her colleagues to “allow private insurance companies to offer national plans, with uniform benefit packages that are offered across state lines.”

This sounds reasonable as long as it isn't a mechanism to avoid state regulation sort of like how all credit cards seem to come from Delaware.

Then there is the expansion of Medicaid causing problems for state budgets, though I think the phase in of state vs. federal obligation might be a reasonable approach that Rs would object to.

Anyhow it's good to hear of some actual policy debate, even if I don't like a lot of the Repub ideas.

I'm totally waiting for a personals ad saying she won't respond to replies with bad grammar or spelling... and the ad itself has a grammar or spelling mistake. Because then I'd reply just to point out the error.

But so far I haven't found an example of this. So it seems there is a high correlation between someone's dislike of writing mistakes of others and their own lack of mistakes. Oh well.

Dude's going to need to drink a lot of fluids.

Maybe he could get a bottomless cup of coffee.

There's no way it could function otherwise, not without imposing some pretty rigid federal standards. And gee, how well is that likely to play?

More conservatives attack Limbaugh's race-baiting:

Calling Out Race-Baiting

Dreher whacks Limbaugh; Goldblog whacks Drudge. Conor echoes. Dreher reveals the conscience of a real conservative:

Look, I think it's important to talk about black male violence, or at least as important as it is to talk about any other important social trend. I don't think we should be squeamish about discussing it in a responsible and fair-minded way, despite what the politically correct say. But good grief, Limbaugh is up to something wicked. He's plainly trying to rally white conservatives into thinking that now that we have a black president, blacks are rising up to attack white kids! Christ have mercy, what is wrong with these people?

I won't have anything to do with it, not even tangentially, which is why I took down the post. I can't see this as anything other than Limbaugh deliberately trying to whip up racial fear and loathing of the president. This goes far, far beyond tough criticism of Obama. Does that man Limbaugh have any idea what rough beast he's calling forth?

If you find some others on the right willing to stand up to this evil, let me know.

Please, please, please, can we have more conservatives calling out Limbaugh?
