This a preview of things to come with a Public Option. When a greater way of dealing with Healthcare is to let consumers purchase across state lines and if Congress would impliment Tort Reform. Neither of these options (real options as opposed to Public Option) would not cost the American public a plug nickel. Instead we get a $900,000,000,000 Healthcare proposal that will saddle our child and grandchild with a debt that cannot be paid….

Biggovernment website just declared unsafe by Microsoft Smartware for Explorer when I came to it. What is up with that and who was the stupid hippie at Microsoft that thought this was a smart move.

Makes me worry about what the hell Smartware does to protect my computer against actual threats.

Microsoft is designed to cause problems, not fix them. Get a MAC

Well, why are you using Internet Explorer?

As someone who's had it (and barely noticed), my ex had it, and my nine year-old daughter had it, my recommendation is to not get overly concerned if you don't have the chance to get the vaccine. I'm not necessarily with the people who say the vaccine is dangerous, but then again the flu isn't either (unless you're in a high risk category or ignore the symptoms).

In California almost 1 out of every ten people hospitalized with swine flu die. Our number of cases in the past week have quadrupled, just after the nasal spray with the Live virus. I know the live virus in the spray isn't supposed to spread, but Baxter also wasn't supposed to sell people AIDS tainted medicine either and they did.

Think about it. If you are large drug company making $$$ off of a vaccine, wouldn't it be in your best financial interest if more people needed it?

I think it is because it would open people's eyes to the cost of those darling "mandated coverages". It's easy to say the insurance company MUST cover Condition X, but when it comes to the consumer paying the insurance company for the cost of assuming that risk it isn't quite as nice. Especially when then consumer knows he/she has little or no likelihood of contracting that condition. It's all smoke and mirrors to them.

Didn't see that coming

Sorry CNN the Communist News Network, not the Communist Broadcasting System

You say 1 out of 10 hospitalized with swine flu die. If that is just in California, I would say there's a problem with the California hospitals.

AND…it is growing FAST…Hence the state of emergency….I have an article posted on the topic, with links to the news site that gave the statistics.

Tear down the washington monument and replace it with a giant syringe

hahaha

You're right. There are many more things they could do just to take costs down but a fascist trained in Marxism won't listen.

That's what I was wondering.

CBS has this buried deep on their website today… Yesterday it was front and center.

Bill Gates and Microsoft are just as bad as our politicians. They purposely provide products that fail so they can sell you the solution.

I would not take that engineered vaccine for the bio-engineered flu if they threatened to hang me!!!

They are trying to kill us, that is my thinking. Look who the health Czar is and his opinion about population control. In Europe there have already been deaths from the vaccine. First outbreak of the H1N1 was about a month after Obama and his crew visited Mexico (in Mexico)…hmmmm. This so-called epidemic has been engineered and the vaccine has been mass produced with no time for proper testing.

Read these two articles below and form your own opinions. Intelligent people are waking up and today's polls say that 6 out of 10 people will refuse to get the shot.

It's actually a contraceptive…. He said early on that if his girls made a mistake they should not be punished for it by having a baby….. Baby's ARE punishment in the prism of a community organizer ! Disgusting people….

Great picture – I think i'll find out where mine line will be and do it too!!!

CBS must have received a "Quash It!" message from the White House. Seriously.

Need anybody say more ?? Errr… Please do NOT lose sight of the fact that Obamacare is NOT about Americans health care… Smart up, people…. If it WAS about health care (read H1N1 vaccination supply) he would make every conceivable effort to be SURE it was available in ample supply to the children in particular. He has the power to insure it WOULD be ready and available. He simply sent his she-minion Sebelius (what an idiot) to state the putz's position. And again..FAILED !

Bill Gates went to DC and advocated for more foreign worker visas instead of hiring Americans.

Then when they started to lay off workers in the economic crunch, he wanted to lay off the americans before the visaed workers. No loyalties I tell ya!

Haven't heard president pencil necked geek say he has gotten the the H1N1 shot himself either, i bet hed cry like a baby and hold bill ayers hand. I dont care what anyone says I think the president is stupid! The coke he snorted screwed up his brain.

Macs have supported multi-button mice for ages … and they now ship with two button mice.

And Firefox runs great on a Mac (Safari has become almost as annoying as IE)

Unfortunately greed is in Human nature. I would be using Linus if I had Adobe and a couple of other things on it.

Ubuntu Desktop

Is Adobe really going to do that? On FreeBSD I can run Photoshop 7 under WINE but no CS. I still rely on 'nux libraries because Adobe hates 'nix for some reason.
Gimp sucks.

Amen brother (?)

Yes it was a new error and while I appreciate the get a MAC comment, and own 3, my work computer that gave me the error is a PC.

Given the recent rhetoric, out of D.C., on the left I thought it interesting that this suddenly popped up. I told Explorer to ignore it, after sending a note to Microsoft, wanted to see if anybody else got the same error message.

There is something amiss with these numbers. The article checks out, but as I said, my whole family has had it and only one of us even took medication (my ex felt fairly miserable for several days, but has bad medicine allergies and felt it wasn't worth it). Perhaps it's because people who are hospitalized are already really sick (whether from not getting treated, or other health problems), which would make them far more likely to be fatalities. The bottom line is, if 1/4 of all the deaths of swine flu are happening in California, there is something weird going on there.

But I don't even remotely buy the conspiracy theory that people are getting it from the vaccine. Here it's blowing up as well, and we don't have any vaccine yet (it's only available to those most at risk for complications).

I love that sign guy. He's "totally awesome" in 1980s speak.

My friend's daughter had H1N1. She described how there's a shortage of tamiflu — I'm not sure if it's effective for H1N1. Her daughter got better fast. The worst symptom was the unusual juicy cough, but that's abating.

October 8, Media theories certainly do change. In light of ABC’s aggressive promotion of the danger of global warming and the liberal solutions the network has embraced, I thought it might be a good idea to consider the ‘70s-era threat of global cooling.

My parents recently unearthed a time capsule that they created in 1977 for the birth of my sister Kimberly. Included in the assorted memorabilia of the time was a March '77 edition of Readers Digest. An article by Samuel W. Matthews, entitled "What’s Happening To Our Climate," wondered whether "we are entering another ice age?" Additionally, a graph showing the Earth’s cooling and warming throughout history is accompanied by this ominous caption [All emphasis added]:

"This chart illustrates the dominant fact about Earth's past climate: It was colder….Over the last century, air temperatures have ranged from somewhat above today’s mean, resulting in an abnormally warm and beneficent climate. Is this unusual cycle coming to an end? Does an icy future loom ahead? Nobody knows for sure."

Abnormally warm and beneficent climate? Could global warming save us from an ice age?

Early in the article, which is actually condensed from a November 1976 National Geographic, Matthews noted an overall global climate drop that began in 1940:

"What is going on with the climate? Since 1940, there has been a distinct drop, about half a degree Fahrenheit, in average global temperature. That seems small, but it has caused significant changes. England’s annual growing season, for example, shrank by nine or ten days between 1950 and 1966. In the northern tier of the U.S. Midwest, summer frosts again occasionally damage crops. Sea ice has returned to Iceland’s coasts after more than 40 years of virtual absence. Glaciers in Alaska and Scandinavia begun advancing again. Yet, oddly, in the eastern United States, western Soviet Union, and much of Europe, the winters of 1973 through 1975 were the warmest in decades."

Much of the piece seems to view any (possibly) man-made warming, such as temperature increases mentioned in the last sentence of the above excerpt, as a good sign, something that might prevent the coming ice age. Later on, Matthews discussed how the (then) coming cooling would affect the beneficial warming that had been occurring:

"The climatic trend changed once again around the mid-19th century. The northern temperate zone grew markedly warmer; indeed, the century from 1875 to 1975 is now regarded by some as one of the warmest in 4000 years. In this time the industrial age boomed, and world population more than doubled. Farming and fishing expanded to keep up with food needs; Canada’s wheat line inched a hundred miles north. But this period of climate, which our grandfathers and fathers came to regard as normal, is now recognized by scientists to have been abnormally warm and beneficent. What will happen to our food output if there is a return to the more truly normal, cooler climate? Are we now at the end of a cycle?"

So, perhaps those readers who have young children, or are about to be parents, should place the current issue of Newsweek in a time capsule for their children. Then, when these youngsters come of age (and might perhaps be dealing again with global cooling), they can learn how the media spun global warming.

God forbid out POTUS would get H1N1… He better get the shot!

That's terrible – but funny! ha

Exactly! Bravo, Mr. O'Keefe!! Think, folks. If government health care goes through, how easy it would be for the government to control everyone by withholding medication!
