There was one death reported due to Medicare D(isaster), as the man was not able to afford his rx’s. In addition, profits from the rx companies beat estimates, and there may be another merger in the works–among Rx Companies, that is.
Other than that, nothing important.
And you thought it couldn’t get worse.

LOL, Boran2… I read this the other day, and had to ruefully chuckle at yet another odd story coming out of my state… this one, however, defies all attempts at explanation, I think. 🙂
Our current governor “Nutsack” used to be mayor of Mt. Pleasant before he ran for statewide office… hmm, is someone trying to tell him something?
That’s enough to make them change the name from Mt. Pleasant to…..just about anything else.
I can’t praise this takedown of Woodward enough.

Former LAT editor John Caroll puts the owners in the same place. E&J via Romenesko. It’s not the reporters.
MSNBC’s report that Rove is real worried …as per RAWSTORY and
Thinkprogress
“Karl Rove now more worried”
I hope this is not a spin to heighten expectations only to have him dodge the bullet.
This ‘news tip’ from BobbyG @ FDL, gave me a smile…I needed it.

I haven’t seen such a mass expiration of those since the student government at UW-Madison populated Bascom Hill with hundreds of the pink plasticos! They too, were short lived, and by the end of the day they had mysteriously evaporated (e.g. were appropriated by student malcontents) … got a grin out of me too.
The young immigrant woman who gave birth out in the desert and had to cut the umbilical cord with toenail clippers. Thankfully Border Patrol was able to get her to the hospital. Now you know why I keep writing – the unending cycle of death and desperation never ends as long as Congress uses bandaids to fix an enormous economic problem.
One story that caught my eye this morning and I’ve only had time to scan is about the Pentagon billing dead and wounded troops for overpayments or missing equipment. I’ll wrte about it tomorrow if I can find anything further.

The second link is direct but the first is shameless

It’s not a story, but did anyone else get the weird Zogby survey about Egypt?
WTF??
Why wasn’t the hero of the day Ron Wyden on the front page. His 5 hour Filibuster was great!!!!
It inspired my newest post Harry Reid, Shameless Hack
I have been wondering the same thing Wilfred. This man spoke for over 5 1/2 hours and not even mentioned here. Good gravy, we want politicians to speak out for us but is anyone paying attention to what’s REALLY going on at the Senate and the House. He even had a repub co sponsor his amendement to stop giving the fucking oil subsidies. He claims it would save 5 billion in taxpayer money. Harry Reid is a hack for sure!
Great post at Liberal Streetfighter too! Why not write it up here? This needs to be discussed don’t you think?
Yeah, and it sent Domenici shrieking from the room after declaring he had violated the rules of the Senate! I’d quote the Murrow, Have you no shame line, but I already know the answer. They don’t.
Libby is still dangling from a hook….
Judge won’t dismiss case against Libby
The story about the repugs killing a bill that required 100% of containers entering US port to be scanned. Profits before security (or anything else)!
I think clearly the biggest news story of the day is:
Snoop Dogg arrested in London!
!!!!!!
getting my driver’s license and registered to vote in NC. Imagine my shock when it appears that Liddy Dole is running for re-election to the US Senate UNOPPOSED. Can this be so? How pathetic is the Democratic Party in this state that they can’t find someone to run? Or are they hoping that John Edwards will jump in at the last minute and re-gain his seat?
I believe Dole is up for re-election in 2008, not 2006, isn’t she?
I was having an oldtimer’s moment, thinking Senate terms were four years. <blush>
For your Senators, I wouldn’t say an oldtimer’s moment…call it wishful thinking instead 🙂
their African-American neighbors. As I seen the Minuteman should make a stand as whether they have a pro reperations stance, and take responsibility for thier ancestors enslaving a whole race.
