There's no way it could function otherwise, not without imposing some pretty rigid federal standards.

That's what I want to see to make that work, if you offer a nationwide plan you have to conform to federal regulations (what could be more constitutional? it's interstate commerce). Yeah, unrealistic though.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Does that man Limbaugh have any idea what rough beast he's calling forth?

The truly disgusting -- and criminal, IMO -- part of this is that I believe that Limbaugh knows EXACTLY what rough beast he's calling forth.

Good for Dreher. See, a person I can disagree with on most issues, but who is not going to attack me, or raise my hackles enough to want to attack him. (mostly) Respectful discourse.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Another conservative attacks Limbaugh:

Why I Have Contempt for Rush Limbaugh

Already Mr. Limbaugh’s behavior is raising the ire of folks who already dislike him, but this transgression against honesty and prudence is so obvious and grave that his audience members should take it upon themselves to contact the talk radio host, politely articulate why his commentary in this instance is so irresponsible, and request that he never engage in such behavior again. It is Mr. Limbaugh’s listeners who have the most pull here. Those who say nothing, and continue tuning into this kind of rhetoric, share partial responsibility for worsening the country in which they live, though the bulk of responsibility will always reside with the millionaire race agitator himself.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

they assured me that a letter from me was all they needed to start the process.

msbelle, I'm glad to hear that things are moving forward and I wish you luck in your moving decision. I think I missed the original event (that's ok - not asking for a retelling) but I've been lurking in natter enough recently to see the tough time you've been having.

The truly disgusting -- and criminal, IMO -- part of this is that I believe that Limbaugh knows EXACTLY what rough beast he's calling forth.

I am Steph.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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

Maybe he's gone too far at last? Maybe?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

In the late 90s, Bill Geerhart (a grown ass man and pop-culture historian) posed as a little kid and wrote to Charles Manson, the Unabomber, Richard Ramirez and other killers; as well as nonmurderous celebrities like Larry Flynt, Alan Greenspan, Dick Cheney (well, allegedly nonmurderous), Clarence Thomas, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, asking for advice on tough topics like dropping out of school and saving up for a speedboat. Radar Magazine posted their correspondence.

I think I'm most disturbed by Richard Ramirez's stationary.

I hope he loses advertisers at the very least.
