CARPE DIEM: The Flipper Bridge: Hong Kong to China

Dangerous to our health
Dangerous to our health - The Boston Globe
"But if Obama is as opposed to a government-ruled health sector as he claims, why has he nominated Dr. Donald Berwick as director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services — far and away the nation’s largest health-insurance programs, at a cost of nearly $1 trillion — a man who openly adores Britain’s socialized health care?
“I am romantic about the National Health Service,’’ Berwick told a British audience in 2008.
“I love it.’’
He not only loves the National Health Service, he extols it as “an example for the whole world — an example . . . that the United States needs now.’’"

Politics Trumps Science on Great Lakes Drilling
Analysis: Politics Trumps Science on Great Lakes Drilling [Mackinac Center]
"The latest example of political posturing on environmental issues is a plan hatched by House Democrats that would ban drilling in the Great Lakes via a series of bills that, if passed by the Legislature, would place on the November ballot a constitutional ban on directional drilling under the Great Lakes.
Never mind that Michigan law already does not allow drilling in the Great Lakes, nor does federal law."

Gov. Granholm's tax hike plan would kill 30,000 jobs [Mackinac Center]
"Fourteen percent of Michigan' labor force is unemployed.
Thousands of others are underemployed or fear for their jobs.
Yet a proposal by Gov. Jennifer Granholm for a net tax increase of $554 million in fiscal year 2011 would only exacerbate the problem, causing the loss of nearly 30,000 jobs in the first year alone"

Pro-Black Panther prejudice
EDITORIAL: Pro-Black Panther prejudice - Washington Times
"Readers will remember that the case involved two New Black Panther Party members - one a local Democratic Party official and poll watcher - who used racial epithets and threats while standing at the entrance to a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day, 2008.
One Panther brandished a nightstick like a weapon.
After the case effectively had been won, political appointees of President Obama's dismissed or reduced all charges or sanctions against the defendants, and then they stonewalled multiple inquiries about the case from Congress, the media and the Civil Rights Commission"

Hilite International going 'green' with its landscaping
"Hilite International is set to become the second major manufacturer in Whitehall to trade in its well-maintained lawn for an environmentally friendly native prairie"
So, weeds are now "native prairie"?
Maybe Detroit's burned out slums could be called environmentally friendly "urban sprouts".
Environmentalism is a code word for insanity.
Soros: European recession next year almost inevitable
"Flaws built into the euro from the start had become acute, Soros told a seminar, warning that the euro crisis could have the potential to destroy the 27-nation European Union."
The euro was doomed from the start.
Based on false promises of every nation to "do the right thing".....yeah, like Europe has a long history of that..........

Izzo stays 2010
Izzo stays 2010 - College Basketball Nation Blog - ESPN
"I’ll admit it.
I like Tom Izzo.
I like how he coaches.
I like what he stands for.
I like how he treats people and I like that, in a business I fear is losing its characters along with its character, he doesn’t take himself terribly seriously.
(Anyone who can show up at Midnight Madness dressed as Sparty one year and a hippie the next doesn’t take himself too seriously)."
