African-American Doll Discrimination?
Shelve the racism, please.
momlogic's Momstrosity: A picture snapped in a store in the Midwest shows a disparity between the cost of Caucasian and African-American dolls. The blonde dolls are almost double the price of their darker-skinned neighbors. What gives?!
I hope a malfunctioning computer is at fault, and not an actual person.
Honestly? I'm sure it *was* the computer. In the retail world, what doesn't sell gets marked down in the hope that it will sell. And let's be honest here: how many white midwesterners are actually buying African American dolls? Probably the same number of African Americans buying white dolls, right?
ever heard of supply and demand ..why are people so quick to start up trouble.I wonder if those prices were reversed what would happen would it still be a big deal. I'm sure it would someone would have to complain about something
I'd buy my daughter the cheaper one…no matter the color!
$3??? I thought it would have been $.99..hmm…
I see this happen ALL the time with African American dolls. I saw it happen at my local Target.
I would think the Af doll would be more expensive because of the additional dye, but obviously I am wrong. However for so many to get so upset over cost of white vs darker is inexcusable. Likewise price differences are equally inexcusable. One could reason since a greater % of Af. live at or near the poverty line, maybe the company was gearing their prices in that direction.
Or, if you have children of mixed heritage, like me, you have kids who see themselves as literally less valuable than their white counterparts. Sorry, this bites.
I personally am with the one mom, I will buy my (white) daughter any doll, she has both white dollies and black because her 'little world' should represent the real world!! However, in predominately white neighborhoods it is understandable for such a markdown, just as when I am in predominately black areas I see usually NO white dolls. It's all supply and demand and unless something there is REALLY messed up, I think it is just a simple cause of s&d and not a representation of the store or shoppers personal feelings.
People have to have something to gripe about or they're just not happy! It's all so ridiculous. The real 'minority' now is the white American man, they can't get a break. If you look at who seem to be the most prejudiced people these days, it's not white ppl.
I'm more concerned about the attitudes that are showing in the attempts to explain the price difference than the price difference itself.
I think Occam's razor applies here more than a speech from Obama or Jackson. The picture appears to be from Walmart and they only see one color as most retailers: GREEN. On the price tag one is yellow and the other is red, I bet the red is close out. For you race hustlers out there that means they are getting rid of that line due not selling… That means people voted with there pocket books and did not want to buy the black dolls for what ever reason.
yeah.. if you look underneath where it says $3.00 for the darker doll you can see it was originally the same price as the light doll. Clearly they are clearancing the darker doll.
Its a Walmart store, cant you tell that the red price tag is the CLEARANCE tag! If an item doesnt sell, they put it on clearance, it doesnt matter what it is. So should I be complaining about my purple towels I got on clearance for $1 each @ Walmart????????? Why isnt the white one on clearance? God people grow up and worry about all the homeless kids or something else. So b/c Im white Im not allowed to buy the new Princess and the Frog movie????
it appears as if both dolls are stocked the same. equal distribution equal prices. dont rule out the fact, maybe the demands WERE equal. we can only speculate.
Those of you who trotted out the "supply and demand" explanation with your predictable claims of reverse racism are all missing the point. Of course it's supply and demand. No one disputes that. The question to ask is why there would be such a huge disparity in the demand (it's probably not a supply problem). This disparity has to be much bigger than the proportional disparity between white and black WMT shoppers. I'm not saying that everyone has to buy dolls that look like themselves, but I do think it speaks to a preference even among black little girls for white dolls over black ones, which research has shown to be true. Sorry if you don't like to hear this, but that IS evidence we still live in a racist society. Research has consistently shown preference for whiteness across all racial lines in American society, even among small children, because it signifies beauty and privilege, and this to me is sad and must change.
she is right we still live in a racist society and the most racist people I've ever met in my life are black. I spent alot of years in the military were racism is on the verge of being out of control and the problem is not the white people it is almost exclusively blacks at the center of that problem. My best friend in the army is black and even he say's blacks are a hell of alot more racists than whites….and before any of you start spewing out some justification for blacks being racists against whites make sure you think before you speak….whites dont hold the entire black community accountable for every carjacking,robbery,drug deal done by a black person although most of those crimes are committed by blacks
Meeting (or hearing about) a POC who is racist neither excuses, nor justifies your own racism. You can only control your own behavior. If you choose to evidence racist beliefs and behavior, that is on you, regardless of skin tone.
FYI to the poster claiming whites are the minority in the U.S. That won't likely happen until around 2050. Even then, whites as a whole will still outnumber individual groups of minorities. Whites will be the minority only if you lump all other groups together.
Who really cares? It's a doll. Some people prefer to buy white dolls, other people prefer to buy black dolls. My daughter when small, had dolls of both colors. But honestly, there are so many other things in this world to worry about then some dolls on clearance at Wal-Mart because they obviously weren't selling well, for whatever reason. You don't know why they didn't sell well, and who are you to make assumptions!!!
"whites dont hold the entire black community accountable for every carjacking,robbery,drug deal done by a black person although most of those crimes are committed by blacks"
Um, yeah they do. White people don't like, don't trust, and don't help black people because they don't see black people as people, they see black people as criminals.
And black people are 12% of the population. Do you really think black people are committing the majority of these crimes?
Black people are less likely to be interviewed and hired for positions at all levels of society. Black people get arrested, charged, and prosecuted at a higher percentage than other races. There are all kinds of studies that explore racism.
To address the initial post, if black people are 12% of the population and white people are 65% of the population, a store will sell more white dolls than black dolls. The store shouldn't stock so many black dolls. It would be racist if they didn't carry any black dolls.

LET'S FACE IT, Boston isn't a city you dream of moving to when you grow up. It doesn't promise the glamour of Paris or the spitting energy of New York. There are plenty of places with more pleasant weather. No, Boston tends to be a city you come to for school, or for work, or because you've followed some boy or girl who, if you didn't, would surely break your heart.
Yet, once you're here, Boston has a way of getting under your skin. Maybe you graduate, or lose that job, or get your heart broken after all, but something still keeps you tied here. Perhaps it's the friends or the food or the culture, perhaps the sports or the smarts; who knows, for these few perfect weeks of the year, it might even be the weather. Whatever it is, live here long enough and Boston will stop seeming provincial and reveal what it truly is: the perfect size for building a life. You can see yourself settling down here, getting a dog, maybe even starting a family. You can see a future.

BOSTON -- DeMar DeRozan understands that a playoff berth for the Raptors has meaning beyond Toronto's locker room.
Terrence Ross scored 24 points, Kyle Lowry 23 and the Raptors edged closer to their first playoff spot since 2008 with a 99-90 win over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
"Not just the franchise, the whole city of Toronto and Canada," said DeRozan, sitting at his locker with his left foot in a bucket of ice. "I've been here five years and see how passionate the fans are. It definitely means a lot. We feed off them, the energy they bring every single night. That would be great for the city and we have to take advantage of the opportunity."
DeRozan added 20 points for Toronto, which increased its Atlantic Division lead to 2 1/2 games over Brooklyn. The Raptors could have clinched a playoff spot if the Knicks lost at Sacramento later Wednesday, but New York beat the Kings 107-99.
It was Lowry's eighth straight game of 20 or more points and helped the Raptors snap an 11-game losing streak in Boston.
"I'm not going to lie," Lowry said. "I think everybody tonight is rooting for that Western Conference team over there."
The Raptors are also chasing a division title. They face Boston in the back end of a home and home on Friday.
"We can't be satisfied just making the playoffs," DeRozan said. "We could go out there and play four games and be home. We've worked too hard to get to this point just to slow down and pace ourselves. We've got a long, long way to go."
Jared Sullinger led Boston with 26 points, going 4 of 6 from 3-point range, and Avery Bradley scored 16. Boston lost for the seventh time in eight games.
"Sully got hot and I thought even though we were really undersized we played pretty well in that time," Boston coach Brad Stevens said.
Toronto captured its 19th road win, one off the club record set 2000-01.
Boston guard Rajon Rondo was cut on the forehead midway into the third quarter and received nine stitches. He returned to the bench early in the fourth quarter with a bandage that ran from the bridge of his nose straight up to his forehead and he re-entered the game with 8:05 to play. He finished with 15 assists and nine points.
"I think it obviously says a lot," Stevens said. "He wants to play and I think the most important part about it is he came back in and guarded DeRozan. He went after it and I think he did a pretty good job on him."
The Raptors had opened a 79-64 lead early the fourth quarter, but Boston went on a 9-0 run. Toronto pushed it back to 85-75 before Sullinger nailed consecutive 3s 34 seconds apart, narrowing it to four points with just under 6 minutes to play.
"I saw that Rondo went down so I saw that we needed production, so I took it upon myself and just tried to get the best shots possible," Sullinger said.
Chris Johnson's basket -- on an officials' reviewed goaltending call -- closed it to 93-90 with 1:49 left, but Lowry and Ross hit consecutive 3s on the next two possessions to send the Raptors to the victory.
In the third quarter, Lowry nailed consecutive 3s on Toronto's first two possessions, pushing the Raptors' lead to 61-46. They held at least a nine-point lead for the rest of the quarter, opening it to 77-62 after Ross nailed a 3 at the buzzer.
Toronto, which blew an 11-point second-quarter lead in less than 2 minutes, held a 55-46 advantage at halftime.
NOTES: A few minutes before the opening tip-off and about 10 after the National Anthems were completed, the Celtics asked the crowd to rise for a moment of silence to honour two Boston firefighters that were killed battling a fire in the city's Back Bay section -- about three kilometres away. ... Stevens praised Raptors G Lowry before the game. "(He) is playing terrific," Stevens said. "He was arguably an All-Star earlier. He makes a lot of plays that don't go talked about." ... Sullinger had 25 points and 20 rebounds when the Celtics beat the Raptors at home on Jan. 15. He had eight boards on Wednesday.

Last night brought us the 19th or 22nd — depending on how you count them — GOP presidential debate of 2011-12. It was the second this week and sixth this month.
Mercifully, there won't be another for almost four weeks.
To say the networks have had to strain to keep things fresh would be an understatement of Newt-ly grandiose proportions. We were only two debates into the schedule when moderators tried the "This or That?" gimmick (as in: Elvis or Johnny Cash?). Last night, we were treated to questions about such issues of immediate national importance as lunar exploration, Puerto Rican statehood and why each candidate thought his wife would make a good first first lady.

The second Democrat in the House of Representatives to face an ethics trial in the fall wants the charges against her made public and her trial to begin before the November 2 congressional elections, an aggressive defense that may lead to intra-party squabbling.
"I am confident that once the subcommittee report is released and I am able to present my case, my constituents and all Americans will understand that I have not violated any House rules," U.S. congresswoman Maxine Waters wrote in a Wednesday letter to the House ethics panel.
The panel on Monday said it had found evidence of undisclosed ethics violations by the California lawmaker, who denied breaking any rules in setting up a 2008 meeting between a banker and the U.S. treasury secretary and vowed to contest the allegations in a public trial.
Under the House rules, the charges are to remain sealed until the first procedural meeting of the trial, which is not expected to come until September at the earliest.
Waters said she would be willing to waive her right to secrecy and wants the committee to make the official charges and supporting documents made public.
"I feel strongly that further delay in the scheduling of the hearing violates the fundamental principles of due process, denies my constituents the opportunity to evaluate this case, and harms my ability to defend my integrity," Waters wrote.
A source familiar with the ethics process said the 10-term lawmaker has been charged with three violations.
Those include violating a rule that lawmakers may not get a personal gain from improper influence and violating a rule that lawmaker conduct must reflect creditably on the House. They also include violating the ethics code of government workers, which bans acceptance of special favors for workers or their family members that could be seen as influencing official actions.
The Waters case comes on the heels of 13 charges against New York's Charles Rangel, the former head of the tax-writing committee. Rangel's trial is expected to begin in September.
The two lawmakers are under intense pressure from fellow Democrats to cut a deal to avoid the spectacle of a public trial, though that appears unlikely.
Both Rangel and Waters are members of the Congressional Black Caucus, making the cases highly sensitive as Democrats are working to get a big voter turnout by black Americans, one of their traditional constituencies.
The ethics charges were an embarrassment for Democrats, who face substantial losses in the chamber in November and whose leader, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, had pledged to "drain the swamp" of corruption resulting from a dozen years of Republican domination that ended in 2006.
Democrats hold 255 seats in the House, 77 more than minority Republicans, but are facing a wave of anti-incumbent anger over a weak economy and sustained high unemployment.
Voters will vote for all 435 House seats and choose 37 of 100 senators in the mid-term congressional elections.

2 Responses to "Waters: 'Let's go public'"
I happen to agree with Waters, what she did is no different then all the other members and many federal workers do every day, I am no fan of hers however this behaviour is throughout the entire government. The government always obeys only the laws they view as correct for there position and she was just following that lead.
Your attitude is symbolic of the problem.

The well of the United States House of Representatives has provided the forum over the decades for some truly inspiring speeches – some delivered by members of that body, such as former Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde; others by non-legislators invited by the House to speak to its members (Winston Churchill and Douglas MacArthur come readily to mind). On a day-to-day basis, however, what passes for debate on the floor of the House is more proletarian than uplifting. Eloquence is more often than not discarded in favor of partisanship, and substance frequently trumped by soundbites.
Even measured against this modern standard for what passes for "debate" in the Congress, however, the final presentations last Sunday evening in the lengthy health care legislation were depressing. The remarks, delivered first by Minority Leader John Boehner and then by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, completely lacked substance and, in the case of Mr. Boehner, were tinged with anger and profanity. The Democratic message, delivered by Ms. Pelosi, was typically sophomoric and poorly delivered. Her remarks claiming that the pending legislation would — presumably by placing control of medicine in America in the hands of the IRS and other government bureaucrats — unleash the American spirit of free enterprise, was silly in the extreme. Yet, because the point of Pelosi's speech was to elicit applause rather than enlighten, it drew predictably wild applause from the Speaker's side of the aisle.
In the long run, however, Pelosi's comments will matter little; for her party won a significant legislative victory, and it is the results of that vote that will define the future debate, not her remarks.
On the Republican side, however, the manner in which the GOP defined the terms of its position, and the tone and substance of its remarks, will resonate beyond the March 21st vote, and probably not to the benefit of the party.
It wasn't as if the Republican Party was not presented with a number of opportunities over the past several months during which this legislation was being crafted, through which to offer substantive, coherent alternatives while at the same time opposing the Democrats' proposal. Throughout the months of this unfolding controversy, public polls established repeatedly that a majority of Americans opposed a government take over of the system whereby medical services are delivered and paid for. And opposing the Democratic Party's plan on this basis was an important and appropriate strategy for the GOP.
However, in essentially limiting the Republican Party's opposition to just that — opposition — without clearly and consistently offering a constructive legislative alternative, the minority party has dramatically limited its future likelihood of success in undoing the damage to be visited on America's economy and medical services by this new health care law. Now that the president has signed the legislation into law, its terms become the status quo, and it is axiomatic that the most powerful force in the universe is the force of the status quo.
The Republicans will need more than the angry, profane rhetoric of John Boehner as delivered to his House colleagues Sunday evening, as a base from which to launch any electoral or legislative effort to overturn this just-enacted health care law. In fact, the image of the Republican leader angrily using profanity in his party's concluding remarks Sunday, rather than setting forth a strong, positive alternative agenda on which to base subsequent efforts, will likely resonate to his party's disadvantage in the months ahead.
The national Republican Party could have used the opportunity of having a national audience last Sunday evening, to present a clear, substantive alternative to the Democratic Party's proposal that is now law of the land. Instead, it simply used the forum to play to its base with a shallow display of anger.
What small glimmer of light there may be at the end of this lengthening dark tunnel of government control, rests largely in the hands of those state attorneys general and public interest law firms that have already filed, or will soon file legal, constitutional challenges to the most problematic provisions in the health care law. The lawsuits will face a formidable challenge in convincing the federal courts that the mandates in this new law have gone beyond the pale in taking power from the people and placing it in the hands of the federal government; this, considering that in only a handful of instances in the past 75 years has the Supreme Court found any government mandate to be violative of the Constitution. Still, even though the lawyers who will be prosecuting these legal challenges face daunting obstacles, they are certain to present their arguments with a great deal more substance and professionalism than exhibited by the Republican House leadership.

While the Dems won a battle, us Pubs are winning the war (no pun intended). You won the healthcare battle (congrats), but that will not change the fact that life for most of the Republicans of this country is so good right now compared to yours. Democratic citizens will continue to be lazy, angry, dependent, underachieving, poor, needy, and most importantly envious. You are envious of everything that we have and you don't. You can't stand that you made poor decisions in life and now you have little value. It pains you to see people succeed and make more than you, to be able to provide for THEMSELVES, to have self pride, and most importantly to be happy. So enjoy your rants and tirades and your moral victory with healthcare (again congrats)….just remember that until you do something with yourself,you will continue to be miserable.

Just once I'd like to hear something POSITIVE from a Republican! Something he's going to do FOR America instead of what he's going to do TO his opponent. Boehner had the chance to be magnanamous but did he do it? Yeah! When hell freezes over! The best thing the people of Ohio can do for this nation is let Boehner walk this fall and elect someone who puts their nation ahead of their ego.

Congrats to the Dems for getting it passed…even though it was mostly due to closed door pork and secret deal making. But whatever, its done and we all must move forward.
However, by passing this, the Dems that caved to Obama's wishes will be given their pink slips in November. Also, in Nov 2008 the approval numbers of white men who broke for Obama were around 44% and that was enough to elect our new president. Now those approval numbers have dropped below 35% and show no signs of slowing down, so Obama's days as our leader appear to be numbered (1032 or so) as nobody envisioned Obama taking us within inches of EU socialism.
White female approval numbers have also fallen, but not as sharply as those of white men, but those two together with the addition of this healthcare bill will seal Obama's fate as a single-termer.
As an independent, I can only hope a 3rd party candidate can finally get elected and return our country to its proper place as the political envy of the world with less government, free enterprise, elimination of the IRS and instituting the fair tax.
We need to blame both the Dems and Repubs for ruining government over the past 60 years with their political posturing and sense of entitlement. Did ya'll ever stop and think why our politicians will not participate in this recently passed healhcare policy? They say its good for all of us, but its not good enough for them. Interesting…

"While the Dems won a battle, us Pubs are winning the war (no pun intended). You won the healthcare battle (congrats), but that will not change the fact that life for most of the Republicans of this country is so good right now compared to yours. "
Are you acknowledging that Republican policies have shifted the wealth UPWARDS rather than the trickle-down (or should I say – pi$$ed-on) economic theory you espouse?? That Republican policies are designed PURPOSELY to leave out the ability to progress for anyone who is not of wealth….or of a specific color??
"Democratic citizens will continue to be lazy, angry, dependent, underachieving, poor, needy, and most importantly envious."
That is a false assertion; there are MANY Democrats who work, achieve, are not lazy, are independent, desire the best for their children…AND their nation; they just are not as selfish as you are!! They do not envy you…but in their own way, strive to be BETTER than you!!
" You are envious of everything that we have and you don't. You can't stand that you made poor decisions in life and now you have little value."
So you're saying that Democrats who believe in education, hard work, perserverance made poor decisions…..and those values are small in comparison?? Are you also saying that a HUMAN LIFE, no matter at what end of the national scale, has NO value??
" It pains you to see people succeed and make more than you, to be able to provide for THEMSELVES, to have self pride, and most importantly to be happy."
So you are saying that people who desire the same things for others that they themselves have — happiness, prosperity, success, pride — can only be Republicans?? Another false assertion!! Many Democrats fit that mode! You seem to have NO altruistic characteristics….just selfish ones!!
"So enjoy your rants and tirades and your moral victory with healthcare (again congrats)….just remember that until you do something with yourself,you will continue to be miserable."
Democrats are not miserable….but you and your existence seem to be……
As Mr. T says: "I pity the fool………"

AGAIN Bob Barr displays his resentment towards the GOP over his failed primary run against John Linder. Bob, had you run in the district Phil Gingrey represents instead of against Linder you might still be in Congress. You resentment stains your views. You share in ANY ills that the Republican Party carries due to your Clinton Impeachment efforts. As for your attempt at suggesting Republicans could have participated in the process, HOW? Charlie Rangel said 'we don't need you Republicans, we will do what we have to and what we want to on health care reform', impeached former Federal Judge and now Democrat Congressman from Florida Alcee Hastings said 'we ain't worried about rules, we make up as we go, we are going to pass this bill'. Pelosi barred Republicans from participation in the bill writing, conducted behind closed doors. Harry Reid did the same in the Senate. I have no doubt you are much smarter than me, so please, tell me how in the world Republicans could have been part of the process, HOW? Do I need to remind you this ObamaCare Bill had BI-PARTISAN opposition and no bi-partisan support!!! Before you take off and blame Republicans in your ongoing 'pitty party' over being soundly whipped by John Linder, you might want to consider being honest, something over which you sought impeachment of Bill Clinton. As for John Boehner, was his rhetoric any worse than Bart Stupak's deceit? How about the VP's comments in introducing the President…'this is a big f****ng deal'

HDB = bipolar. Man to you even have the intelligence to realize that you sound like you are arguing with yourself.
"Are you acknowledging that Republican policies have shifted the wealth UPWARDS rather than the trickle-down…"
"So you're saying that Democrats who believe in education, hard work, perserverance made poor decisions…..and those values are small in comparison?? Are you also saying that a HUMAN LIFE, no matter at what end of the national scale, has NO value??"
So you are saying on one hand that wealth is bad but working hard to obtain wealth is good??? That is hilarious.
I like your analysis on Human Life. Last time I checked clown the democrats are the one who favor abortion.

I agree with Bob that it would have been more constructive to have the Republics present a comprehensive HCR bill for consideration as an alternative to what was about to be passed by the House. That would have been the adult thing to do.
What concerns me, and has been raised by others, is the reaction by those opposed to the legislation. I am fine with Republics introducing legislation to repeal the law. That is what they are supposed to do – i.e. change the law as provided for under our Constitution. I am also fine with states challenging the law's constitutionality in court. That is their right.
But it is not helpful to moving the nation forward to have the hateful rhetoric, physical violence (e.g. rocks through the windows of Democratic party and Congressional members' offices), racial slurs (e.g. John Lewis) and talk about guns, re-loading, etc. This acts are bordering close to being domestic terrorism.
I am surprised that the tactics of these domestic terrorists are not uniformly denounced by Boehner, McConnell and other Republic leaders. That is not the way we resolve matters in a Constitutional democracy.

Captain:"Pelosi barred Republicans from participation in the bill writing, conducted behind closed doors. Harry Reid did the same in the Senate. I have no doubt you are much smarter than me, so please, tell me how in the world Republicans could have been part of the process,"
Tell us, Captain, where have you been for the last year while this healthcare debate had been shown EVERY DAY on CSPAN in the HOUSE AND SENATE Committee rooms? No participation in the bill writiing? How do you explain the over 200 REPUBLICAN amendments that are in the bill?

What bothers me with the GOP message is that the GOP really does have something to sell. It can sell itself as a party of those who believe in individual responsibilities, and corresponding rights. Stay in the tradition of our forefathers who brought forth this great nation in bravery. Too often they slip into the slime with their Dem friends.

@ MiltonMan: Prior to 1964, the preponderance of black people voted for the GOP as the "party of Lincoln"; the first black Senator since Reconstruction, Edward Brooke (MA) was Republican. This is a fact that the GOP does not WANT people to remember.
It is NOT bipolar to note that the largest transfer of wealth went to those who ALREADY had wealth, not those who were attempting to ACQUIRE wealth!! I have no problem with wealth…but when the middle class is getting squeezed by stagnant wages, the poor made poorer by lack of employment…and the wealthy increasing their wealth while this is occurring……C'MON, MAN!!
Democrats favor CHOICE, not criminalization…….I do not have the right to deny a woman the choices she desires; I don not have the right to outlaw a medical procedure if that decision was reached between a woman and her doctor. I don't want to see anyone have to make that decision….but it's not my right to deny a woman the right to make that decision….NO ONE DOES!!. Here's MY question: how many conservatives would care for the plethora of children not aborted…..and how many conservatives are against the death penalty…..aborting a fully-grown life?? That dichotomy astounds me……..

Joan, the GOP's message is primarily fear, division, and racism!! The GOP wants you to be afraid of those who are unlike you, keep you afraid…and prosper from the fear!! If they stayed in the "tradition" (as you speak)…neither you nor I would have the freedoms that we have now!! WE would still be considered PROPERTY!!
I won't go back to that……………….

If you don't like the requirement that everyone has health care, then petitition the Supreme Court that people can be "denied treatment" if they don't have health care or do not provide a substantial down payment prior to receiving services. Our current system is set that people who don't have health insurance either pay out of pocket or don't pay at all. People who pay out of pocket don't have regular screening of annual exams. They don't want to pay full price for that. So they wait until they get really sick, or get cancer, and then it either bankrupts them or they don't pay. And who gets stuck with the bill? It's the people who have health insurance. Hospitals and doctors pass their losses in increased rates and fees. Insurance companies pass those costs in the form of rate increases. I'm personally tired of paying increased premiums to cover the deadbeats who wait until they get sick, or get in an accident, and then won't pay.

Bob, which of the following would you want to repeal?This law immediately prohibits insurance companies from excluding children from coverage for pre-existing conditions. Later it prohibits insurance companies from excluding adults or charging more for pre-existing conditions. It prohibits insurance companies from dropping people from coverage when they get sick. It eliminates lifetime limits and restrictive annual limits on benefits. It begins to close the "donut hole" on prescription drugs for senior citizens. It requires new plans to cover preventive services and immunizations without cost sharing. It limits the out-of-pocket expenses your insurance company can make you pay. It extends coverage for young Americans, allowing them to stay on their parents' health insurance plans up to their 26th birthday if they choose.

And by the way, the Heritage Foundation and conservatives have always been FOR a mandate for everyone to have insurance…until the Democrats proposed it too! It saves us all money in the long run, because as "Jon" says, we will no longer have to pay for those deadbeats who can afford it but refuse to get insurance.

5 physical attacks on local Democratic attacks. Recorded death threats against children of members of Congress. Angry attacks, whether with words, bricks or more veiled threats should not be tolerated. Its time to be responsible, be and act like elected officials and leaders. Intimidation and profane attacks should no longer be tolerated.
Yet when an angry mob of liberals prevents an invited guest from speaking, it's "political dissent."

Republicans have always been sore losers. Remember the backlash after Clinton won in '92? Republicans took to the woods with their guns and before long they were blowing up a federal building and either shooting abortion doctors or blowing up their clinics.
You duplicitous, kniving moron. Blaming the Okla City bombing on Republicans is about as low as a human (you are a human?) can get.
Off with your head, traitor.

Allen – I happen to vote mostly democratic because the republican part ran me out with their bigotry, prejudice, etc. I earned $200K last year, so I guess I don't fit into your neat, tidy explanation of democrats either, do I?

Pretty good for the most part, Mr. Barr. Most of us don't care who is in power or office if they do their jobs and produce what they are paid to do. Republicans haven't done that for a long time. Everyone kept waiting for Boehner's alternative budget, remember? Nothing. A Republican alternative healthcare bill? Nothing. Lots of words about destroying Obama's presidency. Why is that so important? Aren't we supposed to be the focus? If Obama has something positive work on it together and make it the best it can be. True for the Republicans too. Oh, and did I miss something about people in Canada threatening that hate spewing woman who calls herself a Christian? Did we annex Canada and I missed it? Canada has laws about the lengths to which free speech can reach; read the news. This wasn't "liberal" U.S. citizens; it was folks in another county who are allowed to express their opinions about her brand of "satire" and "conservatism" without being called unAmerican or liberal. I bet Ronald Reagen and BIlly Graham would be insulted to be lumped in with Ann Coulter.

NMP: In Coulter's previous speech, she said that Muslims shouldn't be allowed to fly…..in fact, she said for them to use a flying carpet. When a Muslim student asked her what should she do if she didn't have a carpet…Coulter said: "Take a camel!"
There's the CAUSE of your angry mob….Coulter brought it on herself……but that is NOT on the same caliber as spitting on an elected Representative!!
Is Coulter indicative of what conservatives REALLY are?? As Sarah Palin would say: "You bet'cha!"
BTW – Be glad it wasn't ME who was spit upon…..I would've had a broken foot…for it'd be in someone's posterior!!!

Here Here Jon but not Jon Voigt
I completely agree. People talk about how the HRC bill takes away people's freedom. It does take away their freedom to not purchase health insurance and to 'freeload' on others when they do get sick.
I would like to be free from paying increased premiums and increased costs for the care I get from my health care providers.
I handle the affairs of my elderly father. He had a short stay in a hospital last year and the hospital didn't capture either his Medicare eligibility or his retiree medical coverage from his life-long employer. I got the bill at X amount and called the hospital to have them bill insurance. When I got the updated statement from them it was 10% higher. They explained to me that they give a 10% discount to those without insurance. So in essence those with insurance pay a 10% premium. Some suggest that is because of the high cost of handling insurance claims. To that I say rubbish. If someone doesn't have insurance I believe the hospital is going to have a much harder time getting paid from someone who has to find their own resources to pay or someone who simply cannot or will not pay.
I see there are only two options. Everyone has health insurance either through a program like Medicare, Medicaid or a private policy. Insurance is intended to spread the risk across a large pool of insureds and reduce the overall cost to any single insured.
The other option is to say that anyone who shows up without insurance is refused care unless they pay up front in advance. I for one can't imagine living in a society as wealthy as ours that treats its citizens in this manner.

"Too often they slip into the slime with their Dem friends."
Oh, contraire! The Republicans dug themselves into their very own slime pit, no assistance requested or required. Fear, name-calling, shout-outs in the halls of Congress, on and on. The number one rule in politics has always been, "when you're in a hole, stop digging." That sorry lot must be suffering from collective amnesia.

NMP…..Canadians have a different set of rules…..but when Coulter makes her insults, she'd better prepare herself for the flashback!!
Here's what Coulter said – freported by the Toronto Sun:
Fatima Al-Dhaher, a political science student from London, rose and spoke about comments Coulter made after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The firebrand Republican had suggested Muslim countries be invaded, their leaders killed and all Muslims converted to Christianity. She later suggested Muslims denied air travel take "flying carpets" instead.
"As a 17-year-old student of this university, Muslim, should I be converted to Christianity? Second of all, since I don't have a magic carpet, what other modes do you suggest," Al-Dhaher said to loud and sustained applause.
"I thought it was just American public schools that produced ignorant people," Coulter replied, prompting her own round of applause.
Coulter then noted many Japanese were converted to Christianity after the Second World War and "we haven't heard a peep out of them."
To shouts of "Answer the question," Coulter finally replied "What mode of transportation? Take a camel."
"Are you going to convert her now?" another student shouted out.
"No, there are some people I just as soon not convert," Coulter retorted.
Wise man said: When you leave yourself open, you will get hit!!

So, it is safe to say that you support angry, hostile mobs preventing invited guests from speaking?
I can only imangine the screaming and ranting eminating from your direction if an unruly mob prevented any liberal speaker from an invited engagement.

NMP – I did not say I supported the mob…..but when you insult someone, be prepared for the flashback…..
Coulter brought it on herself….I stand by that statement!!
I could ask the same question to you: Do you support the Tea Party's spitting on black elected officials, using racial epithets….and receiving NO denunication from the GOP?? That's the mob mentality of conservatism at work!!

NMP….BTW…I remember conservatives outside the Florida recount in 2000 in their suits and ties doing everything to stop the recount…..another case of conservative mob rule……
Look..both sides have their lunatics……but the conservatives are better financed, better nuanced…but in many cases. on the wrong side of the equation!
Like Billie Holiday:
"Them's that got shall get…..them's that not shall lose…
For the Bible sez…and it still is news….

If 10 or 15 million really angry American men will meet me in Washington in a week? We will take care of this and Washington right now! Why should we wait until November to throw everyone in Washington out. Lets just go do it. The military would not stop 10 or 15 million people. The Dems want to use 219 cowards to end the country and steal our freedoms. Why should we need to use the ballot box to end this? Lets just go get this done?

We Can Stop This Now..Exactly which "freedom" did they steal? The freedom of Healthcare providors to take away your coverage when you get sick? The freedom of you staying on your parents plan while you're in college until you are 26? Is that one of the "freedoms" you"re missing? The freedom of having parents not having to worry about changing jobs and not beiing able to take their insurance with them? Which one of these freedoms are you missing?

This is a halfway intelligent column by Mr. Barr! I pretty much agree with him. It just goes to show you how far the GOP has sunk. I used to think that Mr. Barr was one of angry extremists. But he's Julie Andrews compared to the party wingnuts these days.
March 24th, 2010

somewhereinga – They did take away a freedom. Our government has never before mandated that a citizen must purchase any good or service. Hence one of the lawsuits.

I am hungry for alternatives. The legislation the Dems passed has been vilified but there has not been sufficient debate over alternatives.
I truly don't know if the few things put forward by Pubs are truly problem solving. Certainly, tort reform will do very little to address the range of issues that drive heath care costs. Making it possible for an insurance company registered in one state to operate in another is also slip-sliding away from any real oversight of the insurance industry.
We need discussion and debate, not rhetoric.
I am not angry with the Dems – I just don't know if there were better alternatives. I do know that the Pubs did absolutely nothing about refoming health care coverage or delivery in the years they held the power. It makes me think they really don't have substantive ideas on how to solve the problem.
March 24th, 2010

For all you elated Obamaites…see how good you feel when you see the jobless rate skyrocket in the next couple of motnhs as employers figure out they can't afford the mandated costs deploed by this "historic" Bill to keep all of their employees. Change you can beleive in baby!!! Oh Yeah!!
March 24th, 2010
2:59 pm
ugaaccountant; I didn't notice any of the Republicans complaining about "freedoms" being taken away in Massachusetts when Romney "forced" the population of that state to buy health insurance or pay a fine. Where was the uproar? It's almost the identical thing in the long run! In the year 2000 whatever everyone will be required to have medical insurance just like Romney made them do in his state. Is hypocracy spelled with one GOP or two?

Things Get Opulent Backstage At Jason Wu
Makeup artist Tom Pecheux told us that metallics would be huge for Fall when we ran into him this morning, and they've already made two appearances today. The first was courtesy of Pecheux himself on cheeks and lips at Peter Som; the second came a few short hours later in the models' hair at Jason Wu. "We are working on simplicity and elegance," coiffing star Odile Gilbert said of her sleek updos, which featured a wide paintbrush-stroke of gold leaf pigment, designed to resemble a feather. Prepping hair with Aveda Smooth Infusions Style-Prep Smoother, Gilbert parted hair down the center before securing it in a ponytail above the nape of the neck with a clear elastic. Gathering the lengths, Gilbert twisted two sections together, folding them back into the base for a looped effect. "Jason was really inspired by the restoration of Versailles this season," makeup artist Diane Kendal offered up as the reason behind Gilbert's gilded hair streak and her own "rich, opulent eye," which was the focus of the face. On clean skin, Kendal smudged MAC's eye shadow in Smothered, a creamy blue pigment that's new for Fall, across lids before blending it with MAC Through The Night eye shadow, a navy powder, on the inner and outer corners. Then, to add a bit of drama, she dragged its eye shadow in Carbon, a velvety black, downward at the outer corners. MAC eye liner in Marine Ultra sculpted both lash lines, while a dollop of Pigment in Old Gold in the center of the eye and in the inner corners added a luminescent glow. A few strokes of MAC Haute & Naughty mascara and a round of brow-bleaching kept things super-luxurious, but still modern. The same sensibility translated to nails, where CND's Jan Arnold was on hand to show off pre-painted sets of deep burgundy polish accented with almond-shaped, gold-painted tips. That'd be one coat of CND Dark Ruby, topped off with one coat of Bloodline, followed by an elongated stroke of its Gold Chrome across the "smile line," for those of you looking to play Jason Wu at home.
