Don't look now, it's Obama's worse nightmare: A conservative black Mormon is running for US Congress... Headsup instapundit.
-------------------------------
Instapundit has an ongoing series of links to bloggers being "SWATed", i.e. someone calling the police that a murder has occured and that those living at the address is armed and dangerous...
since innocent folks sometimes get shot when the SWAT team arrives, this could lead to someone being killed.
In contrast, here in the Philippines, the politicians just hire someone to shoot the troublesome journalists from a motorcycle...the going rate is about 100 dollars.

Better watch it; the "experts" are coming for your purple pill.
“When people take P.P.I.’s, they haven’t cured the problem of reflux,” said Dr. Joseph Stubbs, an internist in Albany, Ga., and a former president of the American College of Physicians. “They’ve just controled the symptoms.”and these experts claim if you only would stop eating forbidden foods and lose weight you wouldn't need this expensive medicine.
True, but sometimes "Quality of life" counts,
And I wonder if that claim is true: Lolo has had two major bleeds from his GERD in the last ten years, even though he is slim and watches his diet, and was taking the cheaper Ranitidine and Maalox...after the second bleed the doctor put his foot down and we started omeprazole. Yes, it's 40 pesos a tablet, but it's better than frequent pain and maybe dying of a GI Bleed...

Yesterday my post on the health care bill funding obesity treatment said follow the money..
Maybe it had to do with this...(phen fen redux)...
from Opensecret:
The article does note that most insurance companies and Medicare part D does not cover diet pills...yet....

Ford is shutting their assembly plant in the Philippines...high wages and problems with electricity seem to be the problem according to some comments in the local papers.
