And it's less than a drop in the ocean. Utterly mind-boggling.

Rick Santorum: Pornography Not A Priority For Obama Administration
Rick Santorum is now advocating a ban on the distribution of pornography. He probably doesn't know this but that position could cost him the entire South in the general election. Per capita, the Bible Belt states spend more money on pornographic material than any other region in the nation.
He says pornography is toxic to marriage and relationships. Well, so is fracking. It is also harmful to people's health - fracking that is - and so far as I know he hasn't called for a ban on that. And no doubt never will.
But before we go any further, we suggest one of Santorum's advisers explain to him just exactly what fracking is so he doesn't get it confused with that other thing you aren't supposed to do if you use birth control with when you're doing it.
Whether he succeeds in banning dirty pictures or not, the issue is still a good way to rile up the “better than thou” folks, like ya know, Christians who want you to live your life the way they tell you to.

Budget Battle: Republicans Prepare For Fight With Democrats, Obama
There is one way the Ryan health insurance debacle can be rescued. That is for government to pay 100% of the premiums demanded by health insurance companies forever. Yeah, right.
The real scam of the Ryan plan is to dump medical costs of the elderly on to the individual whether or not he or she has insurance and can pay for the care. The plans terms can be summed up in one phrase: Can't pay, no doctor. You're on your own, pal.

Budget Battle: Republicans Prepare For Fight With Democrats, Obama

Social Security Advocates Launch Campaigns To Pressure AARP
It's time for AARP to support increases in Social Security. Retirees have been cheated long enough by schemes that underestimate inflation and shortchange seniors.
Members must face up to the facts. AARP is basically an insurance agency, perhaps the largest agency in the world. It owes nothing to its members that they don't pay for in premiums and members should realize they are getting nothing in return that they aren't paying for.
As for the benefits it claims for members, many other organizations offer similar discounts.
The message from retirees to the executives of AARP is a simple one: Support increases to retirement programs or back off. You are either with the retirees or against them.
These meetings with the cut-and-gut crowd are totally unnecessary and uncalled for. In fact, they raise suspicions of a scam in the making.

Olympia Snowe’s Strange Martyrdom
This lady of Maine's great coup occurred during the stimulus give and take in the Finance Committee. She managed to wittle down the package to one that Republicans could claim was a failure.
She outwitted the Ivy League city slickers on the Obama economics team by presenting them with a bill that was sure to fail.
Even though the stimulus created and saved millions of jobs, it was much to small to achieve the objective of revitalizing the economy.
