ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Heath Summit Drama! For all the finger-wagging and stern words during Thursday's White House Health Care Summit the GOPhers will be out in full force, regressing to the same talking points they were admonished for on live teevee for over six hours. SPEAKER NANCY will go on This Week to talk about CHARLIE "Where's my General" RANGEL (of all things, according to the 'This Week' headline) then head over to State of the Candy to battle a scowling MITCH MCCONNELL. Meet the David goes with JOHN "Crazy Train" MCCAIN while the WH sends over the famous health reform director NANCY-ANN DEPARLE. Who? Then David tries yet another roundtable with featured pols ERIC KANTOR and DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. The best entertainment will be on Face the Bob with absolute looney-toon MARSHA BLACKBURN and fellow looney-mate TOM COBURN facing off against Dems STENY HOYER and KENT CONRAD. To Steny's and Nancy's defense, they actually DID something this week: See OpenGov H.R.4626 - Health Insurance Industry Fair Competition Act To restore the application of the Federal antitrust laws to the business of health insurance to protect competition and consumers. LATEST ACTION: Feb 24th Rules Committee Resolution H. Res. 1098. From Nancy's and Steny's press conference: PELOSI: After 65 years, it is now time for the unfair advantage insurance companies have held over America's families and small businesses to end. HOYER: This bill is about making sure that everyone who wants to offer health insurance in America will do so in a free, open market. That will be subject as every other business is, to anti-trust provisions which say you cannot, in effect, make a deal with somebody that you take that part of the market, I'll take this part of the market, and we'll both charge this price. Because then there is not a free and open market to determine the lowest, best price for the best product. And it PASSED the House 406-19-8 !!! WOW! Look for BRAD FRIEDMAN of BradBlog and special Head On Radio VideoCast from INDEPENDENCE WVA - University of West Virginia featuring Ray McGovern & Robert Parry. Max, Bobby & Pap, Scott and PeterB all have good shows too. The Birck TeeVee Crew has spent the weekend digging out of our portion of the "snow hurricane" that dumped another foot or so of the white stuff on the compound. Our newly-tuned-up 30-yr-old Ariens snowthrower did the trick. We obviously haven't lost power (yet) but we are eying a natural gas generator for backup power, just in case. Stay warm and don't kill yourself moving snow! Have a hot toddy instead!
