Governor needs to sign SB 840 now
The Universal, Single-payer, Not-for-profit, Health Care Bill is on Governor Schwarzenegger”s desk now. Known as SB 840, the Kuehl Bill would eliminate the administrative costs and obscene profits in the non-productive business side of health care. It would provide every resident of California with comprehensive coverage from providers of their own choosing, and help resolve the current state budget crisis as well. Ask Governor Schwarzenegger to sign it.

Barak Obama isn”t stupid
Many are confused because Barack Obama chose someone other than Hillary Clinton for his vice-presidential candidate. The chief reason should be apparent; Obama wants to stay alive and free.
Dozens of people who were friends or associates of the Clintons died mysteriously or committed suicide. At least three Clinton friends, James and Susan McDougal and Webster Hubbell served terms in prison rather than testify against the Clintons in court. Later, James died mysteriously after reportedly reconsidering his lack of testimony. Susan stayed in prison until pardoned by Clinton on the last day of his presidency. One very prominent black friend, Ron Brown, died in a strange airplane crash with a reported extra hole in his head that has never been explained.
Eighty-five people ? men, women, children ? from a religious sect were burned to death by a military tank attack in Waco, Texas, ordered by Clinton”s Attorney General, Janet Reno. Clinton asserted he was unaware of her orders until it was over. Try to imagine George W. Bush getting away with that.
Women who claimed to have been bedded, like Jennifer Flowers, or pressed for sex, like Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey, or raped, like Juanita Broaddrick, were practically flayed alive in public by the Clinton media Mafia.
For the people now wondering why Obama didn”t choose a Clinton for his vice-president, please note: That would leave a Clinton only one heart beat (Obama”s) away from the presidency.
His choice of someone other than a Clinton for vice-president shows that, whatever his qualifications, Obama isn”t stupid.

Bush”s silence legitimizes communism
I was mesmerized at the militaristic precision with which the opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games were conducted. It brought back memories of Mao Zedong”s Cultural Revolution in which 65 million people perished, an event that induced the fear to perform precisely today in the minds of the performers.
Not well-known is that the first American to die at the hands of Mao”s thugs was Capt. John Birch, an intelligence analyst for General Claire Chennault”s Flying Tigers.
The president of the United States will, by his presence and his silence, extend the hand of friendship and legitimacy to the Chinese communists at the Beijing Olympic Games. I think that Americans should be outraged.
