Our good friend Peter Werbe joins us tonight to discuss a recent trip he made to an undisclosed location and what he found when he got there. Don’t miss this one!
Also open for discussion is the defeat of Kay Bailey Hutchinson by Rick “Good Hair” Perry in the Texas gubernatorial primary, and can now continue his Dippity-Do infused rants against the Democrats in Washington DC. Former Houston Mayor Bill White will be Perry’s Democratic opponent in the general election later this year.
And Charles Rangel has stepped down – at least temporarily – as Chairman of the Ways and Means committee pending conclusion of the ethics investigation into his conduct around real estate transactions in New York and corporate-funded trips to the Caribbean. Senator Jim “Curveball” Bunning must be thrilled at this new media target.
And finally, President Obama unveils his final, ultimate, really, the last time, I mean it, version of his health care reform proposal today. Teabaggers everywhere reach for their “death panals!” signs, Revolutionary War costumes, and Glenn Beck buttons and prepare to hit the streets!
Don’t miss the fun and frivolity, call 877-996-2556!
Enjoy it all while it lasts Mike. Healthcare is going to either kill the country as we know it, or kill the Democratic Party. Cap and Trade will come next and that isn’t going to flow with $7 gallon gasoline. We just plain old can’t afford that. Nerdy People who live in a large city with infrastructure who like this idea, have no idea what it is like in rural parts of America where driving a car is a necessity as there is no bus service or subway to get around. What about farmers or truckers? What is this going to do to the price of diesel? That cost will get passed on in the form of higher prices.
People tend to react dynamically to situations, not statically.
Glenn Beck is right, progressiveness is a cancer and this country needs chemotherapy NOW!
Mister Weiss,
You are a bonafide dumbass.
Everything that’s good about this country is the direct result of the *ahem* “progressive cancer.”
Food and drug regulation, the end of child labor, a 5-day work week, social security, medicare, civil rights, seat belts, military pensions, women’s suffrage…all of this came about thanks to the life-and-death struggles of progressive reformers.
If you teabagging racists wish to return to the dark ages, you are more than free to take the next red eye to the libertarian paradise of Somalia.
Until then, keep eating Glenn Beck’s pasty freckled ass.
@ Rob Weiss — If “the country as we know it” that you refer to is the unregulated preditory capitialist sewer that Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush spawned, then by all means put it out of its misery as soon as possible along with the spineless worthless sellout Democratic Party that currently infests our government. $7/gallon fuel is inevitable regardless of what happens with cap and trade and will someday look like a bargain akin to a 10 cent loaf of bread or 25 cent/lb hamburger. Instead of wasting your time attacking progressive strawmen I would suggest you start preparing. And please don’t worry about good ol’ Glenn — he’s all set thanks to the mindless generosity of fools like youself.
Healthcare in the good ole USA is already killing off the country, pal.
We pay double per capita than any other first-world country, are ranked 37th in outcomes, and one-fifth of the population is not covered. We SUCK!
Obama is not a reformer; he is a lackey for the ‘free enterpise’ monopolies that are the problem. The free-range scum in congress are similarly aligned. The current bill, in my opinion, should not be passed. I favor medicare for all.
All tea-baggers should be given a free trip to Europe for a month. They will then see what progressive policies (socialism!) can do for the quality of life for the average person. Starting with superb single payer healthcare and ending with first-rate mass transit train systems. Go – talk to real people about real stuff.
Of course, those countries are not being bled dry by a military-industrial monstrosity that lives off perpetual wars based on lies.
War for profit; healthcare for profit. we SUCK!
The picture of that goofy bitch with the sign and the Amerikan flag shirt just says it all. Betcha she’s a ‘birther.’ It would be comical except that people who can’t afford healthcare are dying everyday while she drives her minivan with the flag on the bumper to the next teabagging rally. They are guilty of murder by proxy, and should be tortured so that we can find the wherabouts of Glenn Beck.
love it the pix says it all for these screwballs. Now dont you mess with my MED_A_CARE but no govt. Ins. Super Intelligent people I love how the pig man,O’lieey,etc play these people like a fine guitar. The goof balls. Here is a web sight truth seekers should look at an the freepers need to see it too. google up hoosagainstyoo.org love it all its a take on a Bob Dylan song.
Sometimes I get to feeling low
Wish I could just pick up and go somewhere new
Change my point of view
Maybe somewhere I don’t know
Toss the idea to and fro
Not sure what makes it come and go
There it is again: sweet music on the wind
Over the Gulf of Mexico
I’m going to down to Cuba someday soon
Following that Caribbean moon
It’s been too long since I’ve been there
I’m going down to Cuba with my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
Where women wear gardenias in their hair
People will tell you it’s not easy
You’re not supposed to go, they say
They say that Cuba is the enemy
I’m going down there anyway
Love the Cuba Poem. I was there during the time just b4 Castro.It is a wonderful place an the waters were crystal an diving was swell. Yes a Lovely Place i go back in my dreams… Bill

I CANNOT look at the picture of that critter with the healthcare sign any longer than a few seconds without gagging. Don’t these people look like they’re missing something? They all look so unevolved and incomplete. Just look at that thing. I sure as hell am happy she has a pair of shades on. I can only imagine what those eyes might look like. Probably rolled up, or to the sides, making her look like a clueless hillbilly that she is.
God DAMN these people. Why don’t they just die off and rid this planet of their evil beings and their ignorance.
Kissing corporations asses is un-American how did free trade work out? If their willing to attack their own country NYC on 9/11 and then to parlay that into an oil extravaganza. Then use the stolen oil in Iraq as collateral to pay down debt to RED China. The Rob Weiss’s are the problem the old 80/20 rule 20% will fuck it up for the other 80%.
The medical profit corporations (new coined word, fell free to use it) must love that lady. Just think a person out in public with a sign saying: Bash me again, I love it.”
Just another day protesting… Remember what these people think about protesters in general. Is it possible to make fun of stupidity for nine years running? I’m tired of them. I shake my head and prepare for the clash. FYI the media puts up with them and has stopped ridiculing them because they represent what the corporations want. The corporations are running this country.

How can these people think healthcare is “free” like that silly woman holding up the sign at the top of this article? The public plan would still cost, just not over $1000 per month. I thin it would be more reasonable, such as Switzerland, in the $400 per month range.
Wonder if the truth about 9/11 will ever be accepted by the mainstream corporate media. Or, will they just pretend that it was not an inside job like they pretend the iraq war doesn’t make bush a war criminal.

THese right wing lunatics should be the fist to go for End-Of-Life-Counselling and Forced Planned Parenthood! They are scum and should not be allowed to vote, let alone breathe! They do nothing but fill the atmosphere with unproductive methane and carbon.
“Mr Beck, the Counsellor’s office is this way”
“But it looks like a shower to me…”
“Pfffft!”
“AAARGH!”
I don’t want to mention names here, but there are effective ways to deal with the capitalists who steal the people’s healthcare!
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS BETTER THAN GOVERNMENT CAN PROVIDE!
EQUAL HEALTHCARE TO ALL – NOW!
Google California Republican State Senator “Roy Ashburn” at Google News.
The anti-gay-marriage senator, who is married with children, and is a defender of traditional marriage, is reported to have left a gay bar and was arrested for driving while intoxicated. The male companion in the car was, apparently, not arrested.
Too funny for words.
Mike, I am a conservative and die hard American. I know there are radicals on both sides of the argument, but I have never heard someone as hateful as you sound on your show. I feel sorry for you man.
Are you willing to pay for and contribute to people who refuse to work for or volunteer their time in return for compensation?
Do you believe working people are responsible for supporting those individuals that do not earn a living?
Are you talking about the billionaire crooks who have been bailed out by the taxpayer?
that’s super-welfare, brother.
Glenn Beck is a global warming cultist and wants Ron Paul anti war folks executed. BECK needs to blow his own brains out.
Can I buy the bullet?
