Memo to the Titanic

I’m trying to ignore our ignoble politics, wishing a pox on both parties. So I think the best way to deal with this weekend’s takeover of the health-care system is to ignore it. But the Seablogger’s take is just too good to miss (including the title above):

“I am a cancer patient, and I would have been dead years ago if my private insurer had not seen me through. Your death panels would surely disallow the drugs that have kept me alive. My life lacks the social worth to be prolonged.”

Oh, indeed. Only the young (and Dems) will prosper from this catastrophe.

UPDATE:  Usually, the legacy media can be counted on to cover a protest at the hint of a chant. Ah, but not when they’re the wrong kind of protesters.

Sarah wins one: the death panels removed

Sarah Palin may not be a candidate for a national anything yet, but she’s already whooped Barry on his so-called health care reform. She named the end-of-life provision in the proposed bill a "death panel" for the sick, the elderly and the disabled. Barry, rather inexplicably for a president, a species that usually tries to stay above the fray, fought back in public. Sarah stuck to her guns. Now the Senate is removing the provision from its version of the bill. Go gettum, Sarah!

UPDATE:  She isn’t satisifed, however. I love the way she’s using the intertubes to get her voice out.
