"How come you don't use it [Medicare]? You don't
have it. How come you don't have it?" Rep. Weiner,
who turns 45 this week, tried to walk Bartiromo through
it. "Because I'm not 65."

| "Argentina
and Mexico have taken significant steps towards decriminalizing
drugs amid a growing Latin American backlash against
the US-sponsored 'war on drugs'. Argentina's supreme
court has ruled it unconstitutional to punish people
for using marijuana for personal consumption, an eagerly
awaited judgment that gave the government the green
light to push for further liberalization. It followed
Mexico's decision to stop prosecuting people for possession
of relatively small quantities of marijuana, cocaine,
heroin and other drugs."

"People
relying on TV advertising or partisan sources for information
about health care legislation in Congress have heard
that it will 'ration' care to the nation's oldest citizens
and hike premiums '95 percent.' Or that Republican voters
'might be discriminated against for medical treatment
in a Democrat-imposed health care rationing system.'
President Obama, meanwhile, has said don't worry, the
plan 'will be paid for.' Such statements, made in what
analysts say is likely to be one of the most expensive
issue-oriented campaigns ever, are misleading - if not
flat-out wrong."

The
Firestorm Ahead There is a firestorm ahead in the Middle
East for which neither the US government nor the US
public is prepared. They seem scarcely aware how close
it is on the horizon or how ferocious it will be. The
US government (and therefore almost inevitably the US
public) is deluding itself massively about its capacity
to handle the situation in terms of its stated objectives.
The storm will go from Iraq to Afghanistan to Pakistan
to Israel/Palestine, and in the classic expression "it
will spread like wildfire."
