A Letter From Roman Polanski
Commented Dec 27, 2009 at 20:37:02 in Entertainment
“"Could it be that all three non verbally agreed to what was on the agenda that day???"
How do a 13 year-old girl, her mother, and a world famous director "non verbally agree" to sex? Are you kidding me?
"Not making any judgement on the legal front here but this was not an innocent girl and it seems apparent that the agenda was set by all three."
13 year-old girls in this situation are by definition "innocent". You have a lot of soul-searching to do.”

Left/Right Populist Outrage Will Defeat Senate Health Care Bill
Commented Dec 19, 2009 at 10:29:15 in Politics
“Really?! The far left and far right activists are saying the "exact same things" about the Senate health care legislation?
Funny, Jane, I don't recall you or any of our other allies on the Left calling this bill "communism". I don't recall you comparing Obama to Hitler. I don't recall you touting the proposal of upcoming death panels".
Please correct me if I'm wrong.”

“The left is calling this corporate socialism.
The senate bill firmly entrenches for-profit HMOs into the heatlh care system. They can charge what they want.
Subsidies who can't afford those exhorbitant premiums will be coming from taxpayers. In yet another act of corporate socialism, this bill is a direct transfer of taxpayer money to HMO coffers. It is TARP for HMOs.”

“Good points.
I like Jane - but maybe in this case, she's trying too hard to be analytical when it's not necessary.
The lines between Right and Left are very clearly defined.
I see no commonality with the dark side primarily committed to protecting corporate profits at our expense at all.”

WATCH: Wielding Gavel, Franken Shuts Lieberman Up
Commented Dec 17, 2009 at 23:22:41 in Politics
“I think Franken and others who want the public option back in are seeing traction in needling Lieberman. If they can frustrate the famously unpredictable senator into reneging on his support for the health care deal YET AGAIN, then they provide the impetus for the White House to move to reconciliation, without having the progressives split in two over this thing. Lieberman gets all the blame, and a better bill moves forward.”

Expanded Health Care Coverage? Rumors Are Greatly Exaggerated, Unless Paying Fines Is Now 'Health Care'
Commented Dec 17, 2009 at 00:03:38 in Politics
“There was always a mandate. ALWAYS. Anyone who is suddenly getting angry about that has been paying proper attention.”

“true, there has always been a mandate, but it has been accompanied by it's old pal, the public option. When the P.O. got knocked off the table, the mandate became unconstitutional. ALWAYS”

Commented Dec 16, 2009 at 19:32:58 in Politics
“Wait a second Jason: what about the subsidies? You and others like Digby keep talking about the mandate (which was ALWAYS going to be a part of the bill, with or without a public option), but neither of you are even mentioning the subsidies that lower income people will receive in order to purchase that insurance! That's, um, kind of an important component in the discussion!”
AntsyAmerican replied on Dec 17, 2009 at 09:32:37
“It's um kind of obvious the the insurers will raise prices and pocket the subsidy.
The subsidy is a massive transfer of taxpayer $ right to the yacht building companies that health insurers due business with.”

“The subsidies are a joke. On top of them, people will still be forking over hundreds of dollars a month they already don't have for claim-denying for-profit insurance.”
nolabels replied on Dec 16, 2009 at 19:38:34
“Yeah, they make it worse. What the subsidies do is make you more beholden to the insurance companies than you already are if you already do have private insurance. The combination of the mandate, the subsidies and no cost controls, amounts to a massive robbery of the middle class for the pure benefit of the insurance companies.”
SweetTart replied on Dec 16, 2009 at 19:36:29
“It's nice that you are concerned that the insurance industry get these new paying customers, funded via taxpayer dollars, but that's not the change I voted for. The insurance industry is making enough money off of us already, and I don't want them getting taxpayer bail out as well.”

“Taxpayer money to subsidize the insurance companies 30% profit. Is what what you want?
Forcing people to buy into the system doesn't fix the system. We pay double and get half the result of Canada/Europe.
How does funneling more money to insurance companies fix the problem? All it does is redistribute even more wealth to the top 1%.”

On the Polanski Affair
Commented Oct 05, 2009 at 21:36:24 in Entertainment
“Mr. Levy would have us believe that but for Mr. Polanski's international fame, wealth, and prestige, he never would have been re-arrested in the first place. Surely Mr. Levy also understands that but for Mr. Polanski's international fame, wealth, and prestige, he never would have been able to escape the confines of the California penal system in the first place, and spent the last 30 years the free toast of Europe. There would have been no need for this "re-arrest" at all.
Mr. Levy's entire defense here is simply riddled with similar examples of intellectual dishonesty and deliberately inconsistent arguments. Alas, that's what happens when you go about defending the actions and honor of an admitted child rapist.”

Disorderly Conduct: Conversation About Gates Arrest Precedes Arrest

“I'm very supportive of Gates and what he went through in his own home was ludicrous. That said, this other guy is a complete idiot. Who thinks they can loudly chant in a public area "I hate the police" across the street from cops, and not get a discon charge? He was in public, it makes it easy for the cops to say he was disturbing the peace by loudly chanting--
