He doesn't pronounce out the 'Cock'. So it sounds like the actor..Coburn.

Re: Not Even a Peanut
If it comes to that, then im going to jail.
I cant find another job, and i dont have shit for college money anymore. If i truly am forced to have health care, then i mind as well just go straight to jail because as of right now i cant afford it.

Re: Not Even a Peanut
Just an "In all fairness" note here; I don't know if the fine/jail time options in the bill since the last time I tried to read it are in what was recently voted through one house and is being debated in the other one. What I do know is that nobody is addressing Health Care. They are legislating making somebody else richer by legislating Health Insurance. I didn't make a Word/Note Pad document of it, but a visit to the ER for my migraine shots costs me 750ish dollars. This includes up to 3 hours in the waiting room, waiting to be processed in, and up to an hour in the actual exam room, even though I have a history of getting these shots. They give me 2 shots, and make me have a ride home before they do. Fortunately, it's all covered on my Medicare/Medicaid.
It strikes me as odd that that isn't what they are addressing. Afterall an average middle class family, even with insurance, might still have to declare bankruptcy over medical expenses that insurance won't cover, for whatever reason. Not that the insurance industry is blameless, and doesn't have questionable practices, but I don't see how what's going on in Congress right now will address any of that either.

Obama opponents let their rhetoric and hyperbole get in the way of any serious critique. It simple signal to noise ratio, keep adding to the noise and people tend to just hear static or turn you off. You can see this in the media when one single Rolling Stone Article does more to damn Obama than the entire efforts of rightwing media across all formats in the last year. And considering his opponent sold out to theocrats and authoritarians, Obama still remains the ironic lesser evil IMO.
