As for your rant of ‘Palin-run medicare system’, I looked into your banter and see that it stems from a 2 1/2 year period (Oct ’06 – Mar ’09).

What the article touches on is ‘..individuals probably died in far more restrictive environments (i.e., hospitals and nursing homes) than they would have desired, because of the lack of adequate support in their homes.’

It then delves into Alaska being a ‘unique’ and ‘diverse’ area.. you get the picture where this story’s headed.

Lack of adequate support – Such as living in the bush, uneducated family and neighbors or a community that continues to live ostracized from society. To the rescue is an AA native of the village who happens to be a lawyer and plays up the empathy card not for money.. nooo. It’s because ‘they care.’

Where I live there’s a fairly large Russian population. Oddly, there is NO Russian Council, Federal dollars, monies or other appeasement-like tactics the Russian population entertains or pushes. Hmph.. that’s ‘weird’.

Though you saw ‘Lack adequate support’ and surmised, ‘Palin’!

I’m not going to bat for the woman, but your reality is so skewed and hellbent, to *hell with fact or fiction, is truly frightening!

Newsflash: No Governor controls the hospital. The movers and shakers in that regard is Community Health Systems, Triad Hospitals Inc, Tenet Healthcare Corporation and myriad of others.

#97 Brian – Hope this puts your query to Moho to rest.

Should I say something to these guys(?) ?

Naaah . . . these guys probably couldn’t understand how a guy like me can make a million bucks writing one-liners on this blog . . .

Will dim-bulb moho respond to all the personal insults delivered on his unworthy carcass, thereby proving his craven compulsion to follow orders from absolutely anyone?

Or

Will he forego lame attempts at the “last word” and lose the chop-fight by default, tacitly admitting the truth of his illiterate brain-damaged commie parasite failure-at everything-ness?

Anybody care to give odds?

Meanwhile, I’m confident that Obama’s communications staffer really didn’t intend to stir up such a storm. Neither does the administration really intend to assemble an “enemies list” by such a clumsy artifice as the flag mailbox. They believe in themselves. I believe they are truly concerned that they are losing the debate in the public forum, and are desparately trying to answer the harsh criticism coming from so many quarters. Hanlon’s Razor applies here: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” Or in this case, simple ineptitude.

I don’t see the mailbox as a threat, just a rather predictable tone deafness on the part of idealogues surprised by their inability to convince the American electorate of the wisdom of socializing a large and important sector of the economy.

Let’s keep hammering at them though. It’s fun to watch them flail.

I’m sure everyone here knows that. Some just take a perverse pleasure in watching the terminally stupid try and make themselves look even more stupid.

Note the fine job paul_unalaska did in fishing in the stupid dolt moho. Little pieces of shredded moho-troll all over the floor, yet the moron moho can’t help itself, it feels compelled to spend lots of time writing another mouth-foaming rant to prove it is even more stupid than we thought. The subject article describes why Comrade Obumle’s rat-em-out mailbox isn’t really a threat, and the trolls manage to miss the point well enough to spend half a day typing vacuous garbage in defense of . . . Obumble’s rat-em-out mailbox.

Really, it’s too easy. Watch . . .

Yo moho, you illiterate brain-damaged commie parasite failure-at everything! You are hereby directed to generate another bucket of mouth-foam, spend another hour of your pitiful empty existence, and write us yet another content-free potty-mouth rant in defense of your Massa Obumble and his Socialized Medicine fantasy. Be sure to include your most infantile, amateurish insults directed at folks who don’t care if you drop dead in the next ten minutes, much less care what you think (and don’t even believe you capable of thinking). Minimum five paragraphs dipstick! Here, fishy, fishy . . .

BTW – Nice article, Ms Feldman. It’s always good to keep some perspective.

moho, Deep Brain Diarrhea, vivo and possibly others are trolls most likely sent here to disrupt free, open discourse. You engage them at your own risk of having the discussion derailed. They will and have constructed straw men they then proceed to knock down while sidelining the real issues. They also may be paid shills. I won’t grace them with a link but Google “Amazon Mechanical Turk” and see where you end up (2nd return). BTW, they lately have been landing the Health Care posts where before it was Cap’N Tax.

clear ether

No one’s called me on anything in a way that I feel worthy of response. You people simply don’t know anything. I have only two goals here: one is two insult the idiots here, the other is to make the .01% of you who have functioning cortex’s stop and think for a minute and actually read a newspaper or step out of your echo chamber. I’ll be damned if I’m going to see my country over-run by the 28% of American’s who have absolutely no critical thinking skills.
