More and more frequently, I am seeing public, blatant, explicit statements and calls to action from my fellow Americans urging violence and war here at home. It’s easy to dismiss those as the statements of [...]

Do As I Say, Not as I’ve Done: Trying Too Hard Is a Problem

Well, many of us hear that “Do as I say, not as I do” thing as children, and yes, it’s annoying. But Ms. Sanity has inadvertantly provided a fabulous example of things not to do, and why people say that “do as I say…” thing. It can be helpful when we learn from the mistakes [...]

Republican Ideas About Health Care in A Nutshell: Quotation of the Century.

Apologies for this drive by posting (and slow posting schedule of late…) but I’ve been up to my eyeballs in a multitude of levels and your Ms. Sanity hesitates to write you darling people unless she’s feeling at least marginally sane.
Anyway, ran across this, and it needed more eyeballs:
Apparently Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), explaining the [...]

Please Cut The Crap on Health Care Discussions

I am really, really, really, really tired of the blatant, self serving, and manipulative lies coming out of the Right wing and the $1.4 million/day (look it up!) health insurers’ lobby regarding possible changes to the US health care system.
Over and over and over ad nauseum I’ve seen blogs and “tweets” and letters to the [...]

Insanity Everywhere; Links on US Health Care Reform

Apologies for being missing; the workload has been rather heavy and I’ve been watching events far more closely due to the potential for real health care reform in this country. Unfortunately your Ms. S. is trying valiantly to stay sane watching the crazies come out in full force AGAINST said reform… generally in any permutation.
Occasionally [...]

More Lies We’re Told About Health Care in the US

One of the things you’ll hear frequently when discussing health care  with Americans has to do with “the reason why prescription drugs are SO expensive in the USA.” Those of you reading from outside this country may be surprised to hear that the average person on the street in the US probably believes (and I’ve [...]

Some Uplifting and Helpful, Sane, Links

In today’s busy world it seems that most of us are juggling a great deal. Work, family, friends, and very often in this economy—a side business or two. It can all get to be too much.
And of course our culture, unlike several others, doesn’t typically allow for the long term vacations that, say, many working [...]

It’s the Hypocrisy, Stupid.

The recent flap over SC Governor what-his-name (Mark Sanford) who apparently went  MIA so that he could spend a little quality time with the woman he was having an affair with– has me a little puzzled. Puzzled, that is,  in that the Republicans aren’t demanding his resignation. Though I suppose I respect him for not [...]

There’s No Doubt Who The Bad Guys Are; Time to be Furious.

I’ve read with some interest people debating the potential for universal health care access in this country. Then I run accross this:
Executives of three of the nation’s largest health insurers told federal lawmakers in Washington on Tuesday that they would continue canceling medical coverage for some sick policyholders…
Note that these are POLICY holders–who have been [...]

Laughter IS the best medicine…but still…

This just in here at Sanity Central, about this poor child that’s been laughing for 12 years.
No, it’s not funny.
According to Ananova, this girl in China has been laughing since she was two and also lost the power of speech.
Here’s hoping that they get the kid some help. It sounds like the parents have [...]
