Big Dan's Big News Nov 1, 2009

Special commentary by Big Dan: "When we used to go to church, that was our reminder to turn the clocks. We'd get to church and say: 'Why isn't anybody here? OH! SHIT! THE CLOCKS!!!' Remember: Spring Forward, Fall Back...but if you have dyslexia, it's: Spring Back, Fall Forward'. It's daylight savings time! Turn your clocks back! Or is it forward? To be honest, whenever I spring, I spring backwards...and whenever I fall, I fall forward! So, this saying doesn't help me!"

The Democrats control all branches of government, and are pretending that they are doing significant health care reform. Not only are they NOT doing that, they quietly killed Kucinich's amendment which would get rid of obstacles to allow states to have single payer - the only solution to real health care reform. And they're blaming the Republicans. The Republicans don't want any health care reform (we expect that from Republicans who always side with corporations and against the American people), and they're a convenient scapegoat for the Democrats to do nothing significant...but say they're doing something significant.

Kucinich: Health reform legislation ‘a bailout for insurance companies’



On Oct. 29, 2009, four activists, who support a Medicare for All solution to our healthcare crisis, were arrested in Baltimore, MD, for trespassing. They were engaged in a "patients before profits sit-in" at a 17-story tower, which houses an office of the insurance giant, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. In this video, the four: Ms. Patty Courtney, Dr. Margaret Flowers, Dr. Eric Naumburg and Mr. Charles Loubert, explain their decision to choose arrest in order to serve a higher cause--the passage into law of a universal healthcare system that will serve all Americans.

22 Things Dick Cheney Can't Recall About the Plame Case

Cheney ‘cannot recall’ almost anything about Plame outing

Liz Cheney, the Torturer's LIAR daughter, LIES on TV about her Torturer father and Bush visiting the war dead at Dover air force base. Cheney & Bush only got them killed for lies, they never visited them. Liz Cheney says they did...but without the cameras, which is a total LIE. Also, Liz Cheney doesn't mention that her torturer father got FIVE DEFERMENTS FROM VIETNAM, nor does she mention that her torturer father got all those Americans (and a million Iraqi civilians) killed for her father's lies:




I AM A MOTHER WHOSE OLDEST CHILD, CASEY, WAS KILLED IN IRAQ AND I HAVE BEEN ON A CRUSADE TO END THE WARS AND HOLD GEORGE BUSH ACCOUNTABLE SINCE THEN. I EVEN CAMPED OUT IN FRONT OF HIS TEXAS RANCH DEMANDING THAT HE TELL ME FOR WHAT NOBLE CAUSE THAT HE KILLED MY SON!
