Audio- Limbaugh is "thankful we don't yet have Obamacare" or "the death panel" might not have approved Clinton's surgery

Who knew such a huge person could twist themselves in such creative ways? I take it this means that you wish for President Clinton's continued good health? Uh huh.

Elizabeth Edwards May Sue Over Book

Andrew Young, the author of The Politician, says Elizabeth Edwards "has threatened to sue him for contributing to the downfall of their marriage," CBS News reports.

According to Young, Edwards has threatened an "alienation of affection" lawsuit which "allows a person to sue a third party for contributing to the breakup of a marriage. Jilted spouses typically seek money from their partner's lover."

Officials: Family planning money may be dropped from stimulus

Spinelss crap weasels. The only thing that could maybe make them look like less of idiotic surrender monkeys is if they give on this, and then cram the rest of the stimulus bill up the R's tuchus. Extra bonusy joy? The CBO zombie meme rears it's head... again.

WASHINGTON – House Democrats are likely to jettison family planning funds for the low-income from an $825 billion economic stimulus bill, officials said late Monday, following a personal appeal from President Barack Obama at a time the administration is courting Republican critics of the legislation.

Several officials said a final decision was expected on Tuesday, coinciding with Obama's scheduled visit to the Capitol for separate meetings with House and Senate Republicans.

Under the provision, states no longer would be required to obtain federal permission to offer family planning services — including contraceptives — under Medicaid, the health program for the low-income.

Democrats considered the politically-potent change as congressional budget experts estimated it would take slightly longer for the overall legislation to achieve an impact on the economy than the administration projects.

The Congressional Budget Office said the economy would feel the effects of almost two-thirds of the money over the next year and a half. The administration claims 75 percent of the funding would be absorbed in that period of time, and Obama has pledged that the bill he signs will meet that target and either save or create up to 4 million jobs.

There are other views on this (some reflected in comments by our illustrious and learned commenters), and since I'm scrambling for time, use this as my much more articulate and well thought out than I would make defense, or even this.
