On the Whole Foods “Buycott” in St. Louis

2nd September 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

via thedanashow.wordpress.com
As some of you may know, liberals are boycotting Whole Foods because the CEO and co-founder came out against a government-takeover of health care. Conservatives are leading “buycotts” to support the store for taking an unpopular position. The video here, posted by Dana Loesch, is raw footage from one such buycott.

American and Canadian Researchers: Trust Us, Inexpensive Cancer Screenings Are Bad for You

31st August 2009 by Catherine Favazza 6 Comments

The timing of two new studies seems awfully convenient for those pushing for government-run health care. Or does it?
Sketchy study #1: Canadian researchers are questioning the usefulness of clinical breast exams in conjunction with mammograms, saying yes, they increase early detection, but the rate of “false-positives” increases, too. It’s a “steep price” to pay. They [...]

A friend emailed to share this quote and I couldn’t help but laugh:
“Obama’s health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn’t understand it. It’ll be passed by Congress that has not read it, signed [...]

Pundit & Pundette: The Czar continues to deconstruct HR 3200

19th August 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

How bad is HR 3200? Worse than you can imagine. We owe our gratitude to those intrepid warriors who are reading the real thing; I’m lagging behind on the Cliff Notes version. Check this out from the Czar of Muscovy’s gleanings from pp. 301-400 (and btw, he’s all the way up to page 600 already):

President Himself Highlights Future Rationing of Health Care: Lessons from the Postal Service

19th August 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

Though it’s been done before on the Right, the president himself has compared a public option (or whatever it’s called today) for health care reform to the Post Office, competing alongside private companies a la FedEx and UPS in harmony.

In this moment, the president gave opponents of a government-run plan a great opportunity: the chance [...]

Fact Checks Abound: What the White House and the Democrats Don’t Want You to Read

18th August 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

Everyone’s a fact-checker now.
The White House is getting nervous. Their new website–shiny and a great example of using social media it may be–demonstrates a growing uneasiness. (Not to mention, “the greater the level of Carville viritrol, the more they are losing.”) The Washington Post and other Beltway elites can write off town hall meetings and [...]
