Peoples Press Collective: The Devil’s Dictionary of Healthcare Reform

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:14:20 -0500

One of the strengths of the American left is their mastery of using language. They say things that mean exactly the opposite of what they sound like (such as the “Employee Free Choice Act” which means to strip the right to a private ballot in a decision about unionizing.) And, [...]

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:08:16 -0500

Sunday was a beautiful day: warm and sunny. A great park day. And so it was that my brother, sister-in-law, nieces and my beloved pup were at the local park. Whenever I mention this park, the next words that fall out of my mouth are "20 million dollar bond issue." [...]

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:11:53 -0500

According to one rider at Keystone last Friday (Nov. 6), the conditions are “pretty good for October.” Wait, that bad? “Oh, maybe it would sound better if I said they were pretty good for December?” In other words, take your pick.

When chairwoman Jan Dunn says things are shaping up quite nicely for the 26th annual Beautillion, she’s not just talking about decorations, reservations and what’s for dinner.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:19:39 -0500

I just received this from a friend of mine and thought I'd pass it on...

The Stupak Amendment that passed as part of insurance "reform" last night is a total slap in the face to American women.

Stupak is a pro-life wingnutter from Michigan who happens to have a [...]
