How the hell did this happen?

Scrunchies are back in fashion?

And, wow, $6.00? Time to start knitting and crocheting some for Etsy.com, I guess.

GOP senators warn Obama on health care

From an AP item:

Obama says his plan would allow Americans to keep private coverage. But many Republicans say that once a government insurance program is created, it will eventually dominate the market, and drive private insurers out of business.

WTF? This the party who says government can't do anything right, so we should privatize everything. And that competition in the free market results in the best possible product or service at the best possible price.

So why are they worried about the government health care insurance program putting the private companies out of business? Because they know that the private insurance companies are gouging consumers and providing crappy service. Give the people a choice, and they'll go with the government for decent coverage at a reasonable price.
