Ted Rall for September 03, 2009

And how do you account for the 3rd breast?

Criteria for treating an illness without insurance is that you’ll be expected to pay in advance for the visit. Not the covered co-pay but all of it. You just won’t be turned away at the door like a homelss person in the street asking for change. Treatment for Swine Flu may be provided without insurance but it probably won’t be free? Also, I talked to my son’s doctor not more than a week ago and was told that there really isn’t a vaccine currently available. So, you’ll go to a doctor, be told you have Swine Flu, pay the doctor for the visit and then…..??

the third breast is cancer. they won’t notice it until she coughs off the other arm.

Ted, a bit off topic here but still, how come you never do any cartoons about Rush Limbaugh? Have you ever heard the guy speak? I dare you listen to him for a month.

A lot of talk points you see on the media with those strange funny twists on the facts, such as the “Birthers”, or “socialized health care”, or that “only the rich pay taxes…86% of all federal taxes” (without taking into consideration that lower classes barely have disposable incomes and so in proportion lower classes may actually pay more in taxes) are given strength by–or maybe even born out of–his tenacious demagoguery; as incredible as it might seem, Rush is what has kept the far-Right (even the Right per se in a sense) alive and well.

Do your homework Ted…

Fair answer Ted, though still there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, buying into much of Rush’s twisted demagoguery, stifling any progressive movement and giving blunt force to atavistic ideologies and downright lies, such as the argument carried on by conservatives, that Obama has been pulled too much to the extreme left, and hence the abounding debacle on every issue according to them, muddling all political discourse on any critical matter, and actually influencing outcomes, as evident with the current fabricated controversy over health care reform.

I think it’d be a good public service on your part going after the insidious influence of Rush, especially pointing out his stark hypocrisy, such as his crying wolf at the purported control of the internet by the government and the resulting infringement of the Bill of Rights and/or the Constitution having said nothing at all when supporting most –if not all– of the former administration’s policies without reserve–to cite just one example.

Elderberry extract has been shown to work as well or better than tamiflu at countering H1N1 (and with fewer side effets!). It binds to the viral capsid.
