Children at risk with no health insurance, and it's a 'great victory' for the Chimperor
Over and over this morning, the newsreaders are saying that Congress will hand the emperor a great victory by not over riding the SCHIP veto.

But today's talking point is taxpayers should not have to pay for poor children to have health insurance. Why not? I would rather pay that than have my money pay for young people to die in a war for god knows what.

A great victory by endangering children, a great victory by wasting troop lives, a great victory by destroying a 'librul' base in New Orleans.

A great victory for rethuglicans involves death and destruction every time.

Do the Iraqi people count to you at all, or do you believe only young Iraqis are dying? Why even insert the adjective young? We should be as a nation about preserving life not ending it..No matter what the age..

2. Our press corps has a versailles perspective
Everything matters in relation to the ruling elite - the working poor aren't worth a headline.
