“wrong. HYDE is law and is still law and has been law for 30 years. funds will still be segregated ., all the rejection of this Nelson amendment does it prevent women from losing insurance coverage forabortions that they pay for FROM THEIR OWN PRIVATE PREMIUMS. Gosh, educating the multitude of ig norants is SO exhausting. Sigh.”

“Why can't people differentiate between a right and forcing someone else to pay for something??? Is that really a difficult concept -”

“No - what you don't get is that insurance is a risk POOL; your premium dollars may pay for someone else's procedure, but later their's pay for your's. The conservative meme that you must pay for everything or just go ahead an die ignores the fact that we are in this life together and moral values indicate that we all need to help our neighbor. Only the greedy think otherwise.”

SNL Takes On Tiger Woods Scandal (VIDEO)

“We're discussing a COMEDY Skit - of course whether Tiger is REALLY afraid of her is relevant. We're not discussing legal charges - whether anything that happened between the Woods is grounds of legal action is completely off topic.
Why is it really not funny to joke about the holocaust with jews or lynching with blacks - or men beating up their much smaller wives - because those things happened and or continue to happen.”

“First off - is domestic violence wrong - of course! whether it's done by a man or a woman - any time someone uses their greater strength to abuse another person it's wrong -
HOWEVER, that skit was funny - do I have a double standard - well I think that the idea that Tigers' wife could actually be habitually abusing him is ludicrous. I don't for a second believe that Tiger fears for his safety with his wife. Could she have slapped or scratched him before the accident - maybe I have no idea.
But this was a parody and if Tiger had actually been the victim of being thrown down the stairs or through a plate glass window it wouldn't have been funny.”

In Defense Of Desiree Rogers: Axelrod Says Social Secretary Is Getting Bum Rap

“There really is no defense of that dress - it is the style section after all - it does nothing for her -
Now on the content of the article - perhaps the white house would be better served to stop circling the wagons in defense of Ms. Rogers and spend a few cycles on why standard protocol of having a staffer at the entrance was changed and if there is any other changes that need to be rethought.”

MorgaineChya replied on Dec 06, 2009 at 16:51:45
“That whole claim about changing of the protocol is, IMO, the center of this issue.
If this is part of security protocol, which is something both the WH and the SS participate in, can the WH simply change the protocol and not inform SS of the changes?
I think not.
For the Obamas to inflate this issue which, while being dangerous to the Obamas and other guests, is something that could have been easily cleared up by Rogers testifying.
So I think there's something bigger than just the change in protocol claim--I think it's that no change in protocol had been changed, and the Obamas/Rogers just made it up to get rid of the investigator.
If the Obamas were in on that, it will not be pretty for them. And, if the GOP gains the congressional majority in the 2010 midterms, the GOP may use that as an excuse to impeach and remove Obama deom office.”

“I'd rather see trillions go to health care than to keep dumping it into Iraq or Afghaniston. It's funny that the people who complain bitterly about the cost of a public option never said a word about no bid contracts to Haliburton and the price tag for endless wars.

“Wow - you'd think that people would spend two minutes looking into a situation before jumping to conclusions. Whenever there is an issue shouldn't the first thing be to look at what the procedures were in place and if they were any different than in the past? The fact is that Desiree Rogers made the decision that she no longer needed a staff person to do such mundane things as personally greet guests at the state dinner - which is why Cathy Hargrave resigned her position in JUNE when Desiree stripped her of such responsibilities. Now the White House has made the astonishing discovery that it might be helpful to have someone from the social secretary office actually assist the secret service with the guest list - which is the exact procedure every other administration has had (well at least the last few).
Did the secret service screw up - absolutely. But so did Desiree Rogers.”
