Texas drivers can now order their driving records online and print them out immediately instead of waiting to have the record mailed to them.
"We are pleased to offer this new service, which is available 24/7 to our customers. The convenience of ordering your driver record online and then printing it out yourself will save everyone time and money," said Rebecca Davio, the DPS Assistant Director for Driver License.
Previously, drivers could order their driver record online but had to wait to receive their record via the U.S. Postal Service.
Now, drivers can place their order using a credit card and their actual driver license, and then print out their record, which is available in a certified version suitable for submitting to a court for permission to take defensive driving. All Texas drivers, including commercial driver license holders, are eligible to use the online Driver Record System. To request a record, drivers must provide authentication information from their Texas driver license or ID and the last four digits of their social security number. Orders also require a credit card and access to a working printer.
In addition to on-demand driver records, Texas.gov and DPS have introduced two other online services in the past six months: Concealed Handgun Licensing and Contractor Driver Record Requests. Texas.gov also offers an easy, convenient way for Texans to access more than 1,000 other online services, including Driver License Renewal, Vehicle Registration Renewal, and Birth Certificate Orders. Users can even access Texas.gov on-the-go through the Texas.gov iPhone application

Why American Railcar (ARII) Stock Is Gaining Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- American Railcar Industries, Inc.
(ARII - Get Report) shares are climbing, up 1% to $70.89, on Thursday after activist investor Carl Icahn
(IEP - Get Report) resigned from his position as the company's director and chairman.
The company stated that the resignation was not a result of any disagreement between Icahn and the company, but rather Icahn wanted to reduce the number of boards he serves on.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
TheStreet Ratings team rates AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC (ARII) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity and compelling growth in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 113.03% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, ARII should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC has improved earnings per share by 15.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC increased its bottom line by earning $4.07 versus $2.99 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.47 versus $4.07).
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.71, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. To add to this, ARII has a quick ratio of 2.10, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Machinery industry and the overall market, AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the Machinery industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 15.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $17.94 million to $20.77 million.

Alice Munro wins Nobel prize in Literature
The New York Times reports that Alice Munro has won the Nobel prize in Literature. Munro has been writing short stories and novels for more than 50 years. Mona Simpson, writing in a 2005 Atlantic article sums up her appeal this way: "Her work is remarkable for its evenness of quality--it's hard to remember a weak story. Of course, it's this very consistency that makes discussion of Munro's work increasingly difficult. 'Bravo again!' one wants to shout, almost helplessly, after reading each new collection." She is not as famous or well-known as many other authors that have been around that long. Her writing is accessible and enjoyable. Which is not always the case with Nobel-winning authors.

Allison Kotzig Talks Vagina Art: "It Started As a Valentine For My Husband, But I Realized It Would Terrify Him" (NSFW)
Categories: Art
Swampdog |
The vaginas are after the jump, you perv. |
Then New Times art critic Carlos Suarez De Jesus named it one of Basel's weirdest pieces.
So we caught up with Kotzig by phone and found out what inspired it, how she made it, and what she's working on now.

- Tiny Vaginas Giving Birth At The Hangar in Wynwood (NSFW)
Talk about the vagina birthing series showing at The Hangar...
It's a commentary on in-vitro-fertilization and the mass marketing of drugs for conception. It's about women as reproductive machines. I was gonna call it "The Hive," like the babies were being born, taking a look around, and being like "Let's go back in, it sucks out here."
It actually started as a Valentine present for my husband but I realized it would terrify him, so I just made it into an artwork. I got inspired by trophy plaques, and I was gonna make him a Valentine's vagina trophy. But I'm really into serial killers so it kinda turned into a nightmare and was no longer good as a gift.
Where are you from, where are you based out of?
I'm American, but my husband is from Slovakia. I live with him in the Carpathian mountains for 8 months out of the year, and then I'm here in Delray for the winter.

With total hip replacement, you'll probably have to use special equipment during your hospital stay. You'll also be given special tools for your home.
You will have a special foam pillow that will help to keep your legs apart (abducted).
An occupational therapist will give you an ADL Kit while you are in the hospital. He or she will teach you how to use each of the three tools in the kit, consisting of a reacher/grabber, a sock aid, and a dressing stick.
1. DO NOT move your operated hip toward your chest any more than a right angle. This is 90 degrees.
2. DO NOT turn your kneecap inward when sitting, standing, or lying down.
3. DO NOT cross your operated leg across the midline of your body (in toward your other leg).
Examples of Bending More Than 90 degrees:DO NOT sit in chairs without arms. DO grasp chair arms to help you rise safely to a standing position. Place extra pillows or cushions in your chair so that you do not bend your hip more than 90 degrees.
DO use a chair with arms. Place your operated leg in front and your uninvolved leg well under.
DO get up from the toilet as directed by your therapist. Use the elevated toilet seat if we have given you one.
DO use a long-handled reacher to pull up sheets or blankets or do as directed by the therapist.
DO NOT bend way over.
DO NOT try to put on your own shoes or stockings in the usual way. By doing this improperly you could bend or cross your operated leg too far. DO these activities as directed by your therapist.

Are you experiencing bad upset stomach with Tarceva? If so what are you taking for it. No matter if I take Tarceva at night or in the morning I am getting these bad episodes. I take "Lomotil" after the upset stomach but i need something to prevent it.
Views: 166
Thank you all for your responses. I go see the Doctor on Friday, my stomach has actually been better the last couple of days.
One more possible aid...........Immodium also works very well, and is OTC also.
Hey there: Check w/your doc, but Kaokon or kaopectate seem to relieve diarrhea pretty well. And it is OTC, so no scrip necessary.
PS: Have been on omeprazole for years, and it really works great for me w/gastric distress (heartburn especially).
Yes, unfortunately I do have bad diarrhea and that's when I take the Lomotil. I hope there was something to prevent getting the diarrhea. I go see the Gastro doctor this Friday. I will ask him about the Omeprazole.
My husband's doctor prescribed omeprazole. He said this is safe to take with Tarceva.
Lomotil is for diarrhea not upset stomach. You should ask your doctor or pharmacist what you can take because proton pump inhibitors can interfere with Tarceva. I've heard Tums is ok to use. Take care, Judy

Will the dishwasher sterilize already clean bottles?
Sterilize? NO
I've used it to clean delabeled bottles but still sanitized afterwards
Thanks I just sprayed em with starsan to be sure
If your dishwasher has a sanitize setting, you can use that to sanitize bottles. The setting, at least on my dishwasher, takes several hours to complete.
I also use the sanitize setting on my dishwasher. But if you don't have that setting, your dishwasher likely won't get hot enough and/or hold that temp long enough to actually sanitize the bottles.
After my bottles are washed (oxyclean or b brite) and thoroughly rinsed, I sanitize in the dishwasher. NO SOAP or RINSE AGENT. No more sanitizer taste or smell in my beer. I know everyone says that the no rinse sanitizers are oderless and tasteless. However I disagree. I haven't tried the oven yet, but I'd bet 180 for 20 minutes or so would kill most bacteria that live in the house. Can someone confirm this? Other than botulinum, are there common bacterias that live over 180 degrees?
I remove my labels by soaking in B-Brite. Once the label is off, it gets rinse and placed in the dishwasher for a rinse cycle. I do not have a sanitize setting on dishwasher, but they come out dry and hot. Since I started doing this (about 6 months now) I haven't had any infected bottles, and it works fine for me. I heard from another member in my HBC he has been doing this for many years and never had issues with infected batches in bottles.

Oh, Mitt Romney, is there any piece of legislation Dan Pabon can't add you into?
Posted By Tim Hoover On January 20, 2012 @ 11:47 am In 2012 U.S. Presidential Election,Colorado Government,Colorado Legislature,Colorado Politics | No Comments
A day after Rep. Dan Pabon attempted to honor GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney for inspiring "Obamacare [2]," the Democratic lawmaker from Denver found another way to heap praise on the former Massachusetts governor.
Pabon on Thursday tried to amend a Republican resolution [2] supporting the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, with Pabon's amendment praising Romney for passing a similar health care reform law in Massachusetts years earlier. Republicans ruled that amendment out of order, but had a good chuckle at Pabon's nice try, which was preceded by a long, tongue-in-cheek windup by Pabon lauding Romney's accomplishments.
Fast-forward to today, when Rep. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs, was offering a resolution recognizing the 100th anniversary of the Grand Winter Sports Carnival. [3]
Pabon struck again, offering this amendment: "Whereas, inspired by the Winter Sports Carnival, Mott Romney directed the 2002 Winter Olympics in our neighboring state of Utah, bringing attention to skiing throughout the West."
Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, was filling in as speaker in the House and ruled the amendment didn't fit under the title.
Pabon's apparent love for Romney prompted Rep. David Balmer, R-Centennial, to tape a sign to Pabon's desk that said, "Dan Pabon, chair, Democrats for Romney."

I am so thrilled with slippers that were a gift from my husband. These are the most comfortable slippers I have ever worn. I am almost tempted to wear them for travelling, driving the car and shopping. I was amazed at the quality, and I am sure they will last much longer than other slippers I have worn.
These slippers were just what I was looking for. They keep my feet warm, don't fall off when I'm in my recliner, and I can walk outside in them.
I need a half size.Always my problem. They looked like they would of been perfect.. just too snug
I have been searching for non leather slippers that can be worn outside. These slippers are great. They have good soles for going outside, a cute design and are easy to take on and off. They have a pull tab on the heel. When they first came, they seemed a little tight and the elastic at the top of the foot seemed a little tight. After a short time they stretched out a bit and neither of those problems are issues any more. Now I can wear them without socks or with a thin pair of socks if it is especially cold. I had XXXX XXXXXXXX slippers that were very comfortable but the fabric wore out pretty quickly. XXXX no longer has these available probably because of that issue. I have only been wearing these slippers for about a month so far but I really like them. I bought three other pairs for gifts and the recipients are also very pleased with them. I am going to buy an extra pair for myself in case they go out of production. I am very happy to have found these comfy warm slippers.

Hearing Mojo: A Web Site For The Hearing Industry
After my own hearing loss, I created Hearing Mojo for hard-of-hearing people and the industry that serves them to share information, news and personal stories about coping with hearing loss. My background in business, technology and journalism fed my interest in writing posts not only about my own experience with sudden severe hearing loss, but about the hearing aid industry overall. I'm fascinated by the amazing technologies that have changed the experience of people coping with deafness and hearing loss.
Having participated in the fast growth of other technology-driven businesses in the past, I've been confounded by the fact that all the great innovations delivered by hearing-aid developers in the past few years have failed to spark global hearing-industry growth rates of more than five percent a year. I've looked closely at the evolution of distribution channels and the product and marketing strategies of the leading manufacturers and have a lot of ideas about why customers in need aren't adopting the new technologies faster.
So, over time, Hearing Mojo has expanded into a general web site for the hearing industry. There is a lot of inside information on hearing aids, hearing assistance products, technologies, and the companies and business strategies driving the growth of the hearing industry.
There are only a few other sites out there covering the hearing industry in great depth, so Hearing Mojo has attracted a following. Our readers include many audiologists, product developers, managers and investors in the hearing assistance industry. It also is of interest to people with severe hearing loss who are interested in everything and anything published about hearing aids, cochlear implants, hearing science and advocacy for people with hearing loss.
Recently I've has stopped work on my other consulting projects and started devoting full time to researching and writing about the hearing industry. Plus I've taken on consulting assignments with manufacturers working to deliver more new technology to consumers who need hearing help. In addition to more posts for Hearing Mojo, in July 2013 I launched a new sister site, Hearing Products News, for consumers looking for hearing aids and hearing assistance.
Hearing Products News is for people searching for hearing assistance for the first time and turning to the web to seek out hearing aids, hearing assistance technologies and services, personal sound amplification products and other products and services that can help them with their hearing loss. Where Hearing Products News is a "how-to" site for consumers trying to shop for hearing assistance products, Hearing Mojo will continue to be for hearing professionals working in and around the hearing industry.
Check out our sister site, Hearing Products News, at www.HearingProductsNews.com.
We intend to devote even more time to Hearing Mojo in the months ahead as a site for the hearing industry, and to Hearing Products News as a site for general consumers.

Welcome to Pajarito Powder!
Pajarito Powder, LLC (PPC) is a venture-backed company founded with the mission of being the world's first commercial manufacturer of drop-in replacement non-platinum fuel cell catalysts. Existing catalysts are made with platinum, an exorbitantly expensive substance with a turbulent and precarious supply chain. Working with some of the world's leading catalyst research facilities, PPC delivers catalysts made of widely available and inexpensive materials with the performance and durability needed for today's applications.
The use of platinum in fuel cell catalysts, at over $1,600 per ounce, creates a cost structure that is preventing the widespread adoption of this zero-carbon technology. Further, the supply of platinum is controlled by a very few entities and countries, and marked by violence and source interruptions. As much as 40% of the cost of fuel cell stack is the platinum-based catalyst. This is a cost that cannot be reduced by larger volume production, where the remainder of the stack's cost can be reduced through manufacturing efficiencies and scale. The elimination of platinum in catalysts, therefore, is the key to unleashing a large commercial industry.
PPC is currently sampling to select customers and is accepting commercial orders. The company constructed a plant that began pilot runs in 2013 and is currently ready for commercial-scale production. Our initial focus is on today's applications: stationary backup power, especially for cell phone towers; materials handling, including forklifts and hand trucks; and portable power, including APUs and battery recharging stations. PPC is also engaging in long-term relationships with automotive suppliers to prepare for the emergence of that significant market.

Doris #21
Cindy's perzine encyclopedia keeps on going, with this issue covering letters G, H and I. G is for Girl Gangs, girls that would beat up boys that were guilty of rape, according to a wide definition. Cindy talks about the empowerment that the Girl Gangs period gave her, how the Girl Gangs rang a wake-up call for recognition of sexual abuse. This topic permeates the other entries in this issue as well. "Hell" is a discussion about what constitutes sexual abuse, not just rape but the lesser acts too, how they permeate one's being and disembody people. "How to numb yourself" is a self-explanatory comic. "Guatemala" is the story os the country, intertwined with Cindy's own journey there, gone there on a whim when a cheap flight presented itself. Other entries include Gender, Hate, and I Wanna, all written in Cindy's deeply personal voice, in that typewriter and cut 'n' paste layout she is so good at creating. A popular zine that keeps on getting better...
Size: half-letter, 32 pages, $2
Future Generation #11
After a three-year absence, this great zine is back... This issue's main feature is about the pregnant synchronized swimmers of the Cirque de L'Amour. Pregnant moms don tutus and bare their bellies to play water ballet! Kinda crazy cool, yeah. Then Anne Ness goes on a bathroom tour from Brooklyn to Birmingham, China has a nice photo-essay about Sara and Lucy taking a stroll in the woods, Lauren Eichberger tells about her tale of rebellious parenting and the high expectations she had for herself and her baby, and finally China chronicles her struggle now that her child had become a teenager, and the challenges are different. Is it worth being a parent after all?
Out of stock! Although it isn't listed, issue #15 has arrived for $3! Write to enquire and/or order it.
Ghost Pine #9
This is the Buzzing "Bee" Sides issue, various unpublished stories that Jeff collected together. First is Jeff's multiple post-September 11 stories, from scoffing at a hippie power circle, fears of war, crossing the border, too early to laugh at it yet, to crashing in Lebanon, New Hampshire. Now 4 years after the events, there is enough detachment to look back and ponder: Did the world really go crazy? Other stories include smoking to follow in the steps of his grandfather, mixtape for J, in the shed with Henry Rollins, and dishwashing, the sisyphean task. Show reviews include Fugazi at Fort Reno, Lucky Ron at Chateau Lafayette and the last of Union of Uranus show, but these aren't regular show reviews, more like an excuse to tell another story. This issue is a lot more... Choppy? than previous ones, most stories being 2 or 3 pages rather than the longer stuff that Jeff usually puts out. The shortness of the stories means that there are a lot more of them, and thus a wide variety of vignettes into Jeff's nomadic life.
Size: quarter-letter, 48 pages, $2
Ghost Pine #8 - Wolf
While waiting for the next issue of I'm Johnny and I Don't Give a Fuck, new writing from another of Canada's best punk bohemians comes under the shape of this zine. Jeff has been based in Montréal for a few years now and that's where his journey starts, listening to country-fried Velvet Underground in the, err, Underground City, and writes about what happens when you try to pick a fight with a stranger on the street, but both of you desire the same thing that you don't have. Then Jeff moves off to Chicago, where various spoken word artists discuss the wonders of the E1 train, before ending in New York City, listening to commentary on the political and economic forces behind gentrification from bus drivers getting though Harlem. Jeff ponders about cracking a skull open to "discover the casino" of his friend Brendan's mind. Finally there is some reminiscing about digging though stacks of comic books and hip hop LPs in the public library of his childhood.
Size: quarter-letter, 44 pages, $2
Ghost Pine Fanzine #7 - Blood
The blood issue. There isn't much blood spilled in this issue, and judging by the cover, "blood" is more a reference to family than anything else. Jeff starts housesitting his parents' home, and recounts his time working as a night-watchman over a summer theatre, inviting friends over to give him some company in the solitary night. Then he visits his grandmother, retelling how "life in the north" was lived, in wooden shacks close to mining settlements, where death was not far away. Then we hear of how his father got out of being stuck in James Bay by doing some unconventional hitch-hiking. Jeff ends up in his grand-father's cottage/noah's ark, putting a pre-apocalyptic vessel to good use (i.e., hosting a party.) This is just a quick brush-up, there are more stories in there. Jeff writes in a rather contemplative manner, looking at every person he meets and tries to put himself in their mind. Is this really all that there is to life? Meeting folks and taking it easy? Sometimes I feel I'm trying too hard...
Lack of Decorum #2
Melonie is probably my favourite new zinester to come on the Canadian zine scene recently... I'm saying "new" but she isn't green: her Rough Lines zine is currently up to issue #8 (issue #7 is right down here, and #8 should follow soon). This issue of Lack of Decorum is a political perzine where Melonie is firing shots tous azimuts. She keeps her readers up with her life, and with that comes the rest of issues in the world that she comments on. First comes some nuanced commentary on the Iraq war, followed by a guide deciphering doublespeak as uttered by the main players of the game, reclothed in new gear. (Sadly, her Emperor does wear clothes...) She has a descriptive list of some important websites that offer critical commentary about current political issues. With that she adds her own comments on her ambivalence towards staying on top of all the news, versus her need to shut it all off and live a blissful life. Other articles dwelve on her personal adventures and tribulations, for example her tale of being busted at the A-town Silvercity. The most interesting though, from my perspective, is her analysis of the awkward relationship between Broken Pencil and the zine scene, making some quite astute observations on the pages of the magazine itself.
Out of stock! Will be available again in the future, feel free to write to accelerate the process.
Lack of Decorum #1
In this first issue of Lack of Decorum, Melonie starts by discussing what it means to be an adult, and how she is coming to terms (and not) with this weird status, dealing with surprising expectations and realizations. In another article, she discusses how her doctor tried to push an anti-depressant on her, and what are the implications of doctors being so willing to do this. Then she discusses her move away from Montréal to Hamilton, which was preceded by a move from Halifax before, and how these displacements have had an impact on her. As usual, Melonie wrote some damn good zine reviews, and she drew a comic, and the whole package is well-designed with some nifty cut 'n paste work where she betrays her art school past. Melonie's cool!
Miranda #9
Miranda is back, and Kate recounts many of her stories about motherhood and other events. In this issue: a Moroccan tattoo tale, being a true reading mother, countdown to a second baby, the Motel of Companions, book reviews, and a recipe for pasta with spinach and ricotta. For those who have been Miranda for a while, Kate also wrote a Miranda FAQ that gives some background on her zine and herself.
Size: half-letter, 28 pages, $3 Special deal! $2 for issue #9, or $3 for issue #9 and #12! (not listed here)
Sisu #4
Johanna is continuing her introspective journey about uncovering her identities and behaviours, and where they have come from. In Conversation is a Battlefield, she discusses her conversational style, which could be described as domineering, and its possible origins in the example set by her verbally abusive father. A friend has taught Johanna not to interrupt her and her mother recognizes her father's behaviour, but then she still forbids herself cutting into other peoples' conversations. Her family saying "that's just how Daddy is..." So then how do we confront ourselves and others? Is confrontation an effective strategy at all?
In the next article, Johanna discusses the love/hate relationship with identifying as a "girl": past reclamation of the term (riot grrrl) which starts to feed inadequate as one approaches 30, reluctance to use the term "woman", and living up to one's label on the butch-femme fatale scale.
Johanna has been trying to learn more Tagalog and Finnish, her father and mother's languages, respectively. She describes the contrast in the two experiences, one of quality teaching for a European language which all but inexistant in NYC, and another of poor teaching for a language that already has a large base of speakers in city, but also enjoys less respect. The usual class/ethnic/economics explanations easily come to mind, but after looking more into it, Johanna found out that these usual suspects could not so asily be trotted out. But what accounts for this experience, and her own ambivalence towards one of the languages?
Joanna also talks about the lack of hardship of the Bush family, reviews other zines, and intriguingly, Brooklyn trying to swing Florida to the Democrats in the last election...
Size: half-letter, 20 pages, $2.50
Sisu #3
Johanna writes from New York City. In this issue, she observes her parents, and how their historical background clashes with her and themselves today. In her first essay, she wonders about how her father, a Filipino child seeing his country invaded by the Japanese, can now today be supportive of the war in Afghanistan? She also comments on books of first-person accounts of Philippines history. Johanna then explores her family background and connections. Did she really have relatives supporting the Marcos regime? Another essay probes the radical roots behind the term "Asian American", and how the term has been flipped on its head, from an anti-racist label to today's use as racial/ethnic differentiation. Finally, Johanna discusses the implications of advocating for revolution, and reviews some zines. Johanna's exploration of her history is thoughtful and makes one question their own as well.
Size: quarter-letter, 32 pages, $1.25
Stupid Journey #5
Facing rejection of his collage film from the Niagara Independent Film Festival due to "copyright" concerns, Jonathan sent a call out to artists and activists, asking them to support him in his film-making endeavours. What followed was a deluge of mail. The letters ranged from support to recommendations, along with ideas on how to strategize around facing censorship, examples of other festivals that have screened collage films (including the TIFF) and various discussions related the philosophy and ethics behind collage, coming from many high-profile film-makers and others.
Any money above the 2$ minimum on the sliding scale goes towards the creation of a punk rock/activist video archive by Siue Moffat.
Size: half-letter, 48 pages, $2-$20 sliding scale
Supermarket Supermodel
At six feet and three inches, China Doll has the physique to be the eponymous Supermarket Supermodel, and she does cheekily pose almost every other page in her jaguar print top and checkerboard skirt, picking up her groceries in style. The author of The Future Generation is not out for self-aggrandizement (or is she?), but is instead the acting supermarket anthropologist, making the social expectations exacerbated by the magazine rack meet the reality that no dye job will make one into a new woman, not even the one on the hair dye packaging. This environment is the one outing for a lot of mothers, accompanied by their children, getting socialized in what not to say to strangers, even when they are very tall. China recounts how having trouble making ends meet can come to a head at the cashier, and found herself pondering going out in a blaze of glory, the single mother turning to crime to feed her child...

« Over the Hump and Over the Cliff | Main | Barack Obama: The Most Divisive President Ever »
March 22, 2010
Our New Campaign Slogan: Repeal It!
Prior to the insane health care bill just passed by the Democrats, our campaign platform for the next few years was going to be returning our country to fiscal sanity. With the passage of Obama-Pelosi-Reid-Care, it's now
Repeal It!
Don't get me wrong; it's going to be awfully hard to repeal the entire health care bill passed yesterday, but we're certainly going to try. I'll be happy if we can get rid of it's most onerous sections, but I'm going for the whole enchilada. And yes I know that history is against me, but by the same token this situation is unique. Landmark legislation like the 1935 Social Security Act, the 1965 Civil Rights Act, or the Medicare bill of the same year were passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.
This healthcare bill, however, is unique in that not a single Republican voted for it, and 34 Democrats opposed the measure. As I pointed out the other day, between this and his other major pieces of legislation, all of which almost unanimously opposed by Republicans, makes Obama the most divisive president in modern American history.
First, why should it be repealed?
I'll let the editors of the Wall Street Journal answer that. A few excerpts, but read the whole thing:
We think all of this except the subsidies will turn out to be illusory, as most of the American public seems intuitively to understand. As recently as Friday, Caterpillar Inc. announced that ObamaCare will increase its health-care costs by $100 million in the first year alone, due to a stray provision about the tax treatment of retiree benefits. This will not be the only such unhappy surprise.While the subsidies don't start until 2014, many of the new taxes and insurance mandates will take effect within six months. The first result will be turmoil in the insurance industry, as small insurers in particular find it impossible to make money under the new rules. A wave of consolidation is likely, and so are higher premiums as insurers absorb the cost of new benefits and the mandate to take all comers.
It gets worse from there, but you get the point
Repeal It!
Rich Lowry over at National Review gives us 5 reasons not to despair and why this thing can be overturned. I'll list them and summarize his points in my own words
Public opinion - on our side. The Democrats barely got this thing through, and had to resort to legislative tricks and bribes to do so, and threatened to do more. This leaves a huge distaste in the mouths of the public, who don't like the substance of the bill in the first place.
Structured so can it be overturned - most benefits programs are set up so that the benefits come first and the taxes later, the better to hook the public. This one is just the opposite; the taxes and chaos (in the insurance industry) come first and the benefits later. If much of the public hate it now, they'll really hate it in a year or two.
A moment of clarity - Democrats usually campaign as moderates and act like they're moderates once in power, but now the mask is off. Obama-Pelosi-Reid and other nuts like Barney Frank are out and out leftists and make no bones about it.
The truth will out - Obama has misrepresented his bill, and this will become clear in the next few years. As such, public opposition will only increase.
The GOP has been better than expected - much to our great surprise the Republicans have stuck together in opposition to Obama-Pelosi-Reid-Care. They were almost unanimous in opposing the stimulus and cap and trade. Their leadership has been much better than was expected. This gives reason for hope.
Repeal It!
The bottom line is that the Democrats have no mandate to do what they did, and public opinion polls as well as the partisan nature of the vote bears this out.
More, the conservative base is already fired up, and passage of this bill will light another fire under it. Whatever you think about the Tea Party activists, they're not equivalents to the leftist anti-war groups of 2003-7. I know, because during that time I looked into and went to many anti-war protests in and around Washington DC (as a counterprotester, I hasten to add)(see here, here, and here for my extensive blogging) and I've been to a Tea Party and know some of the organizers local to my area. Not the same.
Obama has also ruined his approval ratings over this thing. He could have addressed the issue(s) on everyone's mind; jobs and the economy, as did Bob McDonnell in his successful bid for the Virginia governor's mansion. But he went after healthcare, which a January 2010 Pew poll showed was 8th on the list of voter concerns, below even "deficit reduction," an issue that works against the Democrats.
The bill will end up costing far more than anyone thinks it will. The latest CBO projections were a joke and everyone knows it (here and here if you need links). Who are we kidding; all government programs, military or civilian, cost more than first projected.
Repeal It!
Yes yes, we can't just oppose what the Democrats have done. We must offer solutions of our own. But this said, I and I think the majority of Americans will conclude that even the status quo that we're all supposed to think is so terrible is better than Obama-Pelosi-Reid-Care.
Of course, Republicans and conservatives have been offering healthcare solutions, it's just that given the large Democrat majorities few have been listening. Here, though, are a few of them for anyone who cares to follow the links:
Republican House Leader John Boehner's Plan
GOP Solutions for America: Health Care
The Small Bill: A One Page Alternative to ObamaCare
Senator Tom Coburn's plan (R- OK)
The Heritage Foundation: Real Bipartisan Reform
Google is your friend, there are a ton more. Agree or disagree with them as you will, but it's intellectually dishonest to say that Republicans and conservatives (not always the same thing) just want to keep the status quo and have no reform plans of our own.

absolutely repeal it all. You grandparents out there need that dougnut hole to practice frugality. Any 26 year old that doesn't have a job with insurance needs to be run out of the house with a shotgun, not put on their parents insurance bill too. Insurance companies have to have the right to cancel the policies of insureds that get sick, if only to protect the dividends of the poor beleaguered shareholders.
