Who is to be held a “higher standard” of accountability?

Thursday, November 12, 2009 Greetings, Fellow Americans, Our forefathers did not intend for us to live in fear of our government in which they created for us as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Isn’t That Sweet?

Sometimes we need to just step back and remember that politicians, yes, even Republican politicians, are just like the rest of us; people who love their children and whose first concern is for their health: ... Rep. John Culberson among hundreds of people lined up to get the swine flu vaccine at a public clinic at the Arlington County Public Health Division headquarters Wednesday morning. That in itself isn’t terribly newsworthy — the Texas Republican was there to get his daughter vaccinated, a spokeswoman told HOH. Isn't that sweet? Taking time out of his busy ...

Cheers and Jeers: Monday

From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE Meanwhile, on the other coast... Most of the gay-rights attention this election year is focused on Maine's "Question 1," which asks citizens to barge into their gay neighbors' living rooms and tell them they're not worthy of the rights and responsibilities of civil marriage. I've written quite a bit about the pros (lots) and cons (none) of voting NO, but I'm not going to today. No, this morning I'd like to direct your attention to Washington State, where something similar is happening: Republican operatives in cahoots with religious extremists (or is ...

Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up

Monday punditry and beginning of the week wisdom. Oh, and the Yankees are in the World Series for the 40th time. Bring on the Phillies. Paul Krugman: But the teabaggers have come and gone, as have the cries of "death panels" and the demonstrations by Medicare recipients demanding that the government stay out of health care. And reform is still on track. Right now it looks highly likely that Congress will, indeed, send a health care bill to the president’s desk. Then what? Charlie Cook: Democrats and liberals can scoff and try ...

Green Diary Rescue & Open Thread: 350 ppm

International Day of Climate Action on Saturday brought forth people around the globe in 5200 locales and on thousands of blogs to support 350. That’s 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, the level at which many scientists believe the temperature rise associated with climate change will stay at more or less reasonable limits. Currently, the level is 387 ppm. Climate change legislation already passed in the U.S. House and being considered by the Senate would allow at least 450 ppm, something critics like Bill McKibben at 350.org believe would be disastrous. Here at Daily Kos, ...

Interview with Bruce Gellin, Director, National Vaccine Program Office (HHS)

As 2009 H1N1 (the virus formerly known as swine flu) continues to spread (that's what pandemic viruses do), vaccine remains in short supply but is starting to be administered to high risk patients and health care workers with direct patient contact. Among the weekend flu stories are the proactive administrative move of declaring swine flu a national emergency to give hospitals more flexibility with triaging patients to alternate care sites, and Mitch McConnell offering help from the GOP if the President requests it. The CDC weekly update can be found here: One of the power tools ...
