This is an Incredible story! ;-)

This is an Incredible story! In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in   Kenya after graduating from   Northwestern   University ..... On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

Mary Landrieu sold her vote on health care for $100 million it appears.

ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports: What does it take to get a wavering senator to vote for health care reform? Here’s a case study. On page 432 of the Reid bill, there is a section increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for “certain states recovering from a major disaster.” The section spends two pages defining which “states” would qualify, saying, among other things, that it would be states that “during the preceding 7 fiscal years” have been declared a “major disaster area.” I am told the section applies to exactly one state: Louisiana, the home of moderate Democrat Mary Landrieu, who has been playing hard to get on the health care bill.

OMG, MORE Acorn tapes.

Eric Holder testifies, will it make it to the MSM?

Reid Bill True cost

Reid's fuzzy math Comments: 2 'Reform' bill's true cost is twice advertised price By JEFFREY H. ANDERSO Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is touting the Senate’s newest health-care bill as costing $849 billion over 10 years. But this uses the same accounting trick as past versions: 99 percent of the costs don’t kick in until the fifth year of that “10 year” period.

Muslim Suffers Bruised Ego in Fort Hood Tragedy

by Ann Coulter 11/11/09   The massacre at Fort Hood last week is the perfect apotheosis of the liberal victimology described in my book "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America." According to witnesses, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan entered a medical facility at Fort Hood, prayed briefly, then shouted "Allahu akbar" before he began gunning down American troops. Now I don't know which to be more afraid of: Muslims or government-run health care systems.

Sorry, No Ladies Only Holidays

Judge rules against women-only holidays   By Norrie Ross Herald Sun November 18, 2009 12:01am A judge ruled that women-only holidays cannot be advertised because it could breach the human rights of men / File
  • Plans to start a women-only holiday service
  • Wanted exemption to Equal Opportunity Act
  • Judge refuses, say it is not necessary
A SINGLE-sex travel company for women who want to avoid boozy, bed-hopping mixed tour groups has been grounded. A judge ruled yesterday that former tour guide Erin Maitland cannot advertise women-only holidays because it could breach the human rights of men.  Judge Marilyn Harbison refused to grant Ms Maitland an exemption to the Equal Opportunity Act, ruling that she had not proved it was reasonable or necessary, the Herald Sun reports. "The exemption may well be convenient and practical in the establishment of her business, but it cannot be justified on human rights principles," said the vice-president of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.  In her evidence to VCAT Ms Maitland said she wanted to set up Travel Sisters after hearing stories from her friends who would not travel in mixed tour groups because of "drinking and bed-hopping".

The Rationing Commission

This is from the Wall Street Journal Link: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703792304574504020025055040.html?mod=djemEditorialPage As usual, the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare aren't receiving the scrutiny they deserve—and one of the least examined is a new commission to tell Congress how to control health spending. Democrats are quietly attempting to impose a "global budget" on Medicare, with radical implications for U.S. medicine.

Lindsay Graham support collapses in South Carolina (amongst Republicans AND independents).

Re: Graham Crumbles for Nothing Jennifer Rubin - 11.15.2009 - 1:34 PM When Lindsay Graham decided to support cap-and-trade — a position not even some moderate Democrats can stomach — I observed that this was not only bad policy but also bad politics. And sure enough, moves like that and his support for now Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor have spelled trouble for him. This report explains: U.S.

L.A. Times: Obama strategy deliberations are starting to look like dangerous indecision.

  Obama must rethink rethinking Afghanistan His strategy deliberations are starting to look like dangerous indecision. By Doyle McManus November 15, 2009 Barack Obama is in danger of giving deliberation a bad name.The decision about whether to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan was never going to be easy, but events -- and a collision of egos in Kabul -- have conspired to make it even harder.Obama was right to insist on a full review of whether U.S. interests are better served by expanding the American military footprint in Afghanistan or shrinking it.
