Mad as Hell #singlepayer Doctors in Lafayette Park
I was late to the rally, I came in while the Raging Grannies were singing. Given that it had been raining, there was a decent crowd, I would guess 100 people. The Progressive Democrats of America were there wearing hospital gowns over their clothes with signs in the front that said "health insurance is like a hospital gown" with a sign in back that said "You are not really covered." They were wearing false fannies for full effect. It was pretty funny. Then the doctor's spoke. They told all the stories we have heard about how they cannot practice medicine the way they were taught in a for profit system.

To fail to get an account, follow these directions:
A. Be a spammer and somehow make it past the filters.
B. Apply a long time ago when I was so overwhelmed I couldn't approve new accounts rapidly. Yes, this is my fault. Do re-apply, should you wish to. I have no backlog, now.
To lose your account once you have one, follow these directions:
3. Continue to contaminate the discourse by using manufactured right wing talking points, after repeated warnings.
4. Continue to contaminate the discourse by failing to back up claims with evidence or links -- or refusing to back down on the claim -- after repeated requests.
Massive takedown of persistent Ponyism
Go, read Stop Me Before I Vote Again.
To be fair, Melissa Harris-Lacewell doesn't expect that we're actually going to get any ponies. Instead, we should continue to enjoy the benefits that come from expecting to get a pony. Well, not benefits exactly, but there's a meta-pony payoff in there somewhere for continuing to act as if we still believe. Or something.
The limits of shareholder activism
Via Working Life:
To wit (via The Wall Street Journal):
A record number of corporate directors snatched victory from the jaws of their defeat by shareholders this year.
In a sign of investor discontent, 93 board members at 50 companies have received fewer than 50% of votes cast during annual meetings so far in 2009, according to RiskMetrics Group Inc. That's more than twice as many as any other year since the proxy-advisory firm began tracking the trend in 2003.
