These types of stories WILL be the norm unless we pull the ultimate 180 in November and turn the USA Titanic around by electing conservatives...at this point only found in the Republican party.
You know those tests the doctor does to catch cancer early or prevent a heart attack? Yeah, too expensive, i guess. The United States Preventive Services Task Force has already recommended that tests such as PAP smears, mammograms, and prostate cancer screenings be done away with, now add EKGs.
Have you heard about this in the news? I hadnt. I imagine, most wont ever learn that their health care is now lower in quality until they find out that they are dying of cancer. Cancer that could have been caught early and treated. Not anymore. Why? So Obamacare can provide a "free" doctor visit to an unemployed 26 year old with a cold.
We have one chance for preventive medicine with America's health. Spread the word, get registered to vote, research these issues and talk to your circle of influence. We need to cut out this Obamacare cancer before it becomes institutionalized and inoperable. Republicans must win every possible House and Senate seat, and absolutely MUST take back the White House from our "you didnt build that" p-Resident. Its the only course of treatment we have.....

Congrats to NASA
Im a huge space geek. I absolutely adore the grand adventures and the amazing accomplishments of NASA. I believe it is a perfect example of the greatness of America but also an example of how government has lost its way. Once a priority of a federal government with limited and intended purpose, it is now cut to the bone and a shell of the magnificent organization that put a man on the moon. It has become a victim of a government whose politicians are more enamored with buying votes, socialist entitlement programs, and pork, than big ideas and the ambitious thinking in astrophysics, exploration, and rocket science.
Obama cancelled our space program, the ORION project, which was to go back to the moon. On the surface it seems prudent to back burner such projects while the economy lags and the budget runs TRILLION dollar deficits, but Obama's spending has not been restrained when bailing out union pensions, or buying GM and then "lending" it billions of dollars that are never going to be repaid.
Who will inspire the children to reach for the stars? The government worker telling them they have to wait 6 months for a doctor visit when they are sick, because of Obamacare rationing and doctor shortages, but dont worry when they do get an appointment...its "free" (meaning its being paid for by a small business owner who works 16 hours a day but grosses 200K so is considered "rich" even though he cant afford to take an actual salary).
But i digress.....
We were reminded of the glory days early this morning, as an insanely complicated, and wonderful adventure from Earth to Mars ended with a picture perfect touchdown of a car sized rover named "Curiosity".
The story of Curiosity is an amazing one. Especially its last minutes before landing. They were referred to as the "7 minutes of terror".....seriously.
Wil Wheaton explains....
Anyway, just thought it was really quite cool. It made me smile to see America sneak in a little greatness, in spite of Obama.
Happy Monday. UPDATE: Check out the first pics of Mars sent back by "Curiosity".

Joe Paterno railroaded
JoePa is Innocent!
I will believe that until i am proven wrong. As a Penn Stater who graduated, stuck around State College....left, came back....left....came back, and now is semi firmly planted less than a mile from campus, I know how this town works. The locals loved Joe Paterno, but the powers that be at Penn State always resented him. Joe was the peoples champion, while the stuffy, out of touch, elitist tools that ran PSU, like Graham Spanier, seemed to resent the people.....SO-
Given a chance to destroy Paterno's reputation while deflecting blame from themselves, they jumped on it.
What was the evidence for the NCAA sanctions and world wide scorn? The Freeh report. Well, that report says NOTHING that proves Joe Paterno of any wrong doing. Not even close....
I read the Freeh report. Its a pile of maybes and unidentified references, but ill leave it to those more worldly and experienced than myself to explain it.
Head over to POWERLINE blog and read what they have to say about Joe Paterno's involvement in SanduskyGate as stated by the "Freeh Report". I bet you are surprised, after what you have been told by the press.
The smearing of Paterno is a travesty.

1001 reason against voting for Obama
Only 1001? I found 4892 in 10 minutes of interwebs searches.
Its a good start though.
In case you are in a hurry, i suggest starting with Bill Whittle and then moving on to the reading of words, part.
It is split into 10 parts with 100 reasons each.
The first part is HERE.
Id forgotten so many of the idiot things Obama has done. This list is a must for people somehow still on the fence about their vote.

Obamacare Takes Hold: Update #1
Consider this an ongoing series of stories about the pain and suffering Obamacare is already causing as its spindly little roots take their first bits of hold.
Doctors already are underpaid and over regulated by the government (i lost my doctor to government regulation recently, BTW). You pay $150 to visit your doctor because he has to overcharge you to make up for the few pennies he is reimbursed by Medicare and Medicaid. The government doesnt pay market value for his services and you make up the difference. As Obamacare takes over though, it expands the amount of Medicare type patients to an overwhelming number. It also floods the system with more uninsured patients who think that health care is now "free". A consequence of Democratic politics. Less informed Americans who think they are owed something for nothing.
Just like any other socialist program, the problem of running out of other people's money is inevitable. Unlike America's past socialist programs, Obamacare begins with the United States already broke and drowning in generations of debt.
But i digress....
Bottom line. Got some of that shiny new Obamacare coverage....Good Luck finding someone to take you on as a patient.
Its going to become virtually impossible to find a doctor willing to take new patients as government mandates tie the hands of physicians tighter and make reimbursements lighter.
Speaking of S&M. You know who really gets a hard screwing? Grandma and Pappy.
Did you know that Obamacare takes 500 billion dollars from Senior citizen care. "politifact" called it "mostly false", then "half true". Soon they will admit its absolutely true.
So....lots more patients, less doctors, not nearly enough money, government bureaucrats.....
Can you say rationed care? Even better, can you say "Death Panels"
Its called IPAB. It already exists.
But thats another post....
Hat Tip to Moonbattery.

Obamacare: Preview of your new mandated Hell
What do you want first the bad news or the horror story?
You know what the biggest con job of this whole Obamacare situation is? Its that Health Insurance is worth anything. What good is having insurance "coverage" when there is no one providing health care. "What do you mean. Alec?" Im sure you are asking.
Well, folks, the reason health care is not and can never be a "right", is because, it is a product of someone else's work. No one owes you their sweat, labor, or attention just because you exist. When a tyrannical government suddenly takes away whats left of your freedom to make a living in a particular field, what would you do?
I knew what American doctors would do, because its happened everywhere else they were forced to become slaves of the government, but here is your confirmation.
83% of doctors are now considering quitting. I can hear many more screeching the brakes as they swerve around med school to seek other vocations.
So, tell me, Obamacare suckers, where you going to go with your handy dandy new "coverage" when 5/6ths of the MDs disappear. How bout when the next generation of family docs, specialists, and nurses never show up?
Yep, you are now going to be forced to pay a giant tax for "health insurance" you will never get.....I shouldnt say never....someone may show up eventually, if your lucky.
Then again, maybe not until its too late.
Thats right. You may die of thirst waiting for care.....BUT GOSH DARN IT, you will have "coverage".
This whole situation is sickening.
The horror show is just beginning.
We have one shot left to avoid the depths of this socialist misery.
We must elect Mitt Romney President and give him Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Allow them to repeal this monster before it starts to kill.
Democrats will not help turn this runaway freight train around, in fact, they are dropping the hammer on the accelerator in hopes you will be too apathetic or uninformed to pay attention before its too late.
This is the last off ramp before the cliff......seriously.

The stakes
This years election is a choice between the American people's greatness and crushing government burden and control. Obama is just a used car salesman trying to sell the country the same lemon its been breaking down in for 4 years. Why would we even consider reelecting a total failure? If he is too incompetent to handle the circumstances he ran to fix, its time to give someone else a chance.
Im tired of the excuses. Im tired of the pointing of fingers. Im tired of the arrogance. Im tired of the condescension. Im tired of the corruption. Im tired of the whining. Im tired of lie after lie after lie. Im tired of being told what i have to buy....what i have to eat....what lightbulb i have to use. Im tire of paying $3.50 for gas. Im tired of having a President who believes the government is more important than the people.
Its time for him to go.

Obamacare called legal, freedom on life support.
The Supreme Court just said the government can force you to buy something you dont want or need.
Im sick. John Roberts is no conservative and will now be famous for burning the the last remnants of the Constitution.
Barack Obama has raised taxes on the middle class in a way that will cause constant economic recession. The new normal for our country is 8-10% unemployment and 1% growth.
You have a 75% chance of being dropped by your insurance now. Maybe not today or tomorrow but soon. No company can withstand the costs of Obamacare.....no country can either but the ability to print money allows the government to hang on for until we are Greece.
I want to swear, and shout, and punch the wall. The Founding Fathers would go to war over this ruling....they did for much less.
Will Mitt Romney rise to the challenge of saving America?
Pfffft. Im not holding my breath.
I need to decide what i will do next.....what will you do?
