Netanyahu: A Churchill for Our Time
Text Courtesy of WSJ Online
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking at the United Nations last week:
Yesterday, the man who calls the Holocaust a lie spoke from this podium. To those who refused to come here and to those who left this room in protest, I commend you. You stood up for moral clarity and you brought honor to your countries.
But to those who gave this Holocaust-denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people, the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere: Have you no shame? Have you no decency?
A mere six decades after the Holocaust, you give legitimacy to a man who denies that the murder of six million Jews took place and pledges to wipe out the Jewish state. What a disgrace! What a mockery of the charter of the United Nations!
Perhaps some of you think that this man and his odious regime threaten only the Jews. You're wrong. History has shown us time and again that what starts with attacks on the Jews eventually ends up engulfing many others.
This Iranian regime is fueled by an extreme fundamentalism that burst onto the world scene three decades ago after lying dormant for centuries. In the past 30 years, this fanaticism has swept the globe with a murderous violence and cold-blooded impartiality in its choice of victims. It has callously slaughtered Moslems and Christians, Jews and Hindus, and many others.
Though it is comprised of different offshoots, the adherents of this unforgiving creed seek to return humanity to medieval times. Wherever they can, they impose a backward regimented society where women, minorities, gays or anyone not deemed to be a true believer is brutally subjugated.
The struggle against this fanaticism does not pit faith against faith nor civilization against civilization. It pits civilization against barbarism. . ."

Does Exercise Benefit Bones by Lowering of PTH?
Finnish investigators found that 12 months of daily "impact" exercise significantly decreased blood levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in women 35-40 years of age. PTH is produced by the parathyroid glands in the neck and is critical to normal calcium metabolism and bone health. However, excess levels of PTH can thin and weaken bones. These findings may shed new light on the mechanisms by which exercise is protective of bones.

BHO Caught in More Health Care Deceit
"The Congressional Budget Office expects premiums for employer-sponsored coverage to cost about $5,000 for singles and $13,000 for families this year on average. "Premiums for policies purchased in the individual market," adds CBO, 'are much lower about one-third lower for single coverage and half that level for family policies'...One reason that individual policies are cheaper is that they generally require more cost-sharing by consumers."

Congresswoman Giffords Defiant in Town Hall Showdown
Gabrielle Giffords supposedly representing Arizona's 8th Congressional District finally appeared before her constituents last night. However, despite an overwhelming message from those in attendance to abandon Obamacare she defiantly stated that she will continue to support the "public option." Neither did she shy away from using the Left's favorite talking points including the inflated number of uninsured in the United States, now 50 million. She took shots at insurers, paid lip service to tort reform, and even got a little huffy with some of her more vocal critics threatening to shut the meeting down.
The event drew in excess of 2500 people. However, since the Saguaro High School auditorium seats only 1500, the remainder were relegated to outdoor seating and an audio-visual feed of the events inside.
Below are pictures of constituents lining up outside the auditorium before the 2 hour town hall event. While the Obamacare supporters were greatly outnumbered by the opponents of government run medicine they tried to compensate using tried and true liberal "community organizing" tactics. Indeed, SEIU goons were on hand to provide the astroturf, issuing identical manufactured signs and stickers to their socialist sympathizing friends in the crowd.
Oh, and who was the doofus dressed up as a doctor defending the "public option" using AMA propaganda? If he is a doctor does he really think he's going to cut red tape and hassle by working for the government?
