Clinic: Woman championed by Obama eligible for aid
"A woman championed as the Obama administration's emblem for health care reform does not have to choose between her home and her health, according to officials at the Ohio hospital where she is being treated.
With a self-reported annual income of about $6,000, Natoma Canfield is a prime candidate for financial aid in the form of Medicaid - the federal health care program for low-income and disabled people - or charitable assistance."
Think about it!
The "brilliant" BarryO and his equally "brilliant" comrades searched the entire country to find the poster child of America's miserable health care system.
And they came up with a gal who is covered already.
I mean...this ought to be a big deal to Obama, right?
And they can't even find an American who is suffering from our "unfair" health system/
And they want even more power over our system?
Gimme a break!

Funding crunch shines light on White River Light Station museum budget
Funding crunch shines light on White River Light Station museum budget
"'It's not something we want to do,' St. Amour said.
'We're not sure where the money is going to come from.'
Amy VanLoon, executive director of the White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, said her staff receives hundreds of inquiries a year about the lighthouse museum.
'People come from far and wide to see it,' VanLoon said."
Funny.
Everyone says the lighthouse is a treasure...but everyone says someone else ought to pay for it.
Sounds oh, so familiar.

How going green may make you mean
How going green may make you mean Environment The Guardian
"When Al Gore was caught running up huge energy bills at home at the same time as lecturing on the need to save electricity, it turns out that he was only reverting to 'green' type.
According to a study, when people feel they have been morally virtuous by saving the planet through their purchases of organic baby food, for example, it leads to the 'licensing [of] selfish and morally questionable behaviour', otherwise known as 'moral balancing' or 'compensatory ethics'."

West Michigan Reform Review
West Michigan Reform Review
"Does State Rep. Mary Valentine support
late-term partial-birth abortion?
We believe she does, based on
her 2008 vote against a proposed
ban of partial birth abortion in
Michigan.
Her recent letter to the
editor of the Muskegon Chronicle
disputes that conclusion, at least
to some degree."
She's caught in her own lie and is scrambling to cover up the real facts.
Good job, "Reform Review" in keeping her votes front and center!
And a pretty good website too!

Six Stupid Things Candidates Do to Mess Up Their Campaigns
Pajamas Media » Six Stupid Things Candidates Do to Mess Up Their Campaigns
"Americans are tired of politicians’ smooth answers, refusal to follow principles, and slick campaign talk.
However, some campaigns are doomed to defeat because they’re making basic errors.
As a former candidate, I made a couple big mistakes that I wish someone would have told me to avoid.
If people want to make a difference, they should avoid giving their money and energy to campaigns that have doomed themselves to political oblivion.
Here are the warning signs."
Anyone considering a run for ANY office should read this!

"Affiliates of the once mighty liberal activist group ACORN are remaking themselves in a desperate bid to ditch the tarnished name of their parent organization and restore federal grants and other revenue streams that ran dry in the wake of a video scandal.
The letters A, C, O, R and N are coming off office doors from New York to California.
Business cards are being reprinted.
New signs with new names are popping up in front of offices."
New name, same crooks.
They will continue to thrive unless we stop them!
