"I am tired of people comparing Obama to Hitler. I am tired of seeing signs with swastikas and Nazi symbols at health care rallies. I am tired of people saying that a health care plan intended to uplift millions of Americans to give them dignity, and choice and the ability to care for their families, is like Naziism."
There are too many people in Michigan who need to comprehend (not just read) what this article says. I doubt they will, but here is it, just in case they stumble by.
The Only Response The Right Wing Deserves
If only more politicians would tell these idiots off. The thought process that leads anyone to equate any President with Hitler surely is a process which only bolsters the need for more coverage in this country. Obviously, we are not servicing the mental health needs of our fellow citizens.
Exposing the Euthanasia Scare
Healthcare scare tactics? I never.
If anyone you know even remotely believes in euthanasia boards or any of the other tripe being sold by the Republicans, have them read this article.

The Ann Arbor Bias - Zingerman's
Ever since one summer as a college student in Paris, sipping cappuccino on the Champs Elysees, I’ve been looking for that same type of European, al fresco atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re on vacation. But so often, outdoor dining means you’re just steps from a busy street, inhaling car exhaust.
What's the best place to capture that feeling in Ann Arobr? Zingerman's Roadhouse, of course. You know, the one at the corner of Jackson and Stadium, less than 300 yards from I-94. So what makes it one of the best outdoor dining establishments (aside from the food)?
...wobbly tables and hard, rather uncomfortable seats...
...the descent of tiny bugs on our remaining food at the end of the meal...
...noise can be a problem outside. When crowded, it is virtually impossible to hear your fellow diners amid the din.
I think there should have been some standards set forth before reviewing restaurants where you'd dine al fresco.
Don't get me wrong, we drop a C-note at that place once a year because of the food. We don't, however, go there for the atmosphere. Putting Zingerman's on a list of the best outdoor dining establishments in Ann Arbor is disingenuous at best.

LHC Down, Again.
The Large Hadron Collider has some more problems, according to the NYT.
I've posted this before, but it's getting a little freaky how many problems LHC is having. Maybe it did work... in the future.
