This is an Onion article, right? Or maybe it's Monty Python. Or Punch. Or something.

This cannot be real.

Really?

So it won't be OWS that will drag down Obama like a millstone around his neck. It will be, after all, the Christmas Tree Tax.

Next up: The Easter Bunny Tax to promote the image and marketing of colored eggs.

My first impression was -- what nincompoop, supposedly on his side, put Obama in front of an assembly line going nowhere......?

Note to editors:

Can you check and characterize the 90 lashes? Reason: if they're genuine real lashes, then 90 lashes is, at best, guaranteed permanent disfigurement, and could likely be a death sentence.

Casual readers, especially the commenters that find humor in this, should be assisted in facing in full the barbarity of fundamentalist islam.

This stuff has happened in every war we have ever been in. When you assemble people 10,000 at a time, a few of them have weaknesses that understandably don't show up until they're under fire.. Check out what happened in "The Good War" when our guys encountered the first Nazi concentration camp.

These guys were largely replacements, clearly were not ready for what confronted them, and some of them had serious issues that should have been weeded out.

But.....look what's happened here. Michael says he's just received word that the situation is being investigated. That God for the Blogosphere and thank God for Mr. Yon.

Imagine if someone had had this level of visibility and courage BEFORE the Abu Graib abuses, before the damning photos had ever been taken......

He looks A LOT like Himmler. So, don't dismiss him just because he's a wimp. Your just as dead if it's a wimp who pulls the trigger or pours the sarin gas. We've have adequate laws and protections in place. They just have to be enforced swiftly and uniformly -- without PC preferences -- and then these malefactors (all of them) will be kept in their box. Letting these behaviors run loose, whatever your political persuasion, is mutually assured destruction. IE: we cannot restore sanity to government soon enough.

150 doctors in lab coats on the White House lawn. Did no one in the administration say, "Monty Python"? Can they really be this clueless?

The way this will work out.....Carrie Prejean will be the new executive producer/owner of the California contest. That solves things coming and going.

Ricardo, Dude, the 30% burden of extra diagnostics tests is not the result of doctors arbitrarily acting like little oligarchs as you imply. It is exactly precisely the runaway cost of extravagant jury awards that forces doctors -- and their employers -- to run extra tests to protect themselves against the charge that they were negligent. Most of us think medical providers should be responsible for and liable for their errors. That can be accomplished quite nicely by capping malpractice awards at the actually economic damage incurred. So, for example, if you become disabled, and you win at trial, you get the cost of your lifetime support and lost salary -- maybe $3,000,000. What you should not get is $500,000,000 for pain and suffering. When that happens, as it did recently at Oregon Health Sciences University, the result is that 1,000 staff get fired, and the docs are ordered to be even more circumspect and obtuse in their testing and diagnostic practices. The winners in this formulation are the trial attorneys. The rest of us are the losers. If you really, really wanted costs to go down by 30 percent, you'd study the economics and then direct your snarky comments at the attorneys, who, by the way, in this instance, provide absolutely no value, no improvement in service, no advance in science or technology. They merely confiscate wealth from party A and deliver it to party B, and then the rest of us have to pay a whole lot more to restore party A to functioning status.

This is not anything new. It's hard to believe you've been able to live life and miss this.
