Facts?

So again, at the end the writer asks:

"There was wall-to-wall media coverage last spring of Cheney's claims that these memos would show that torture worked. Will there be wall-to-wall media coverage of the fact that the memo was "plainly inaccurate" and that Cheney was, and is, full of shit?"

Over and over I read stuff like this, and over and over people are railing against the universe that Cheney can just SAY stuff, for example, and they are all "look over here, proof that his claim is bogus!" I just have to laugh! They don't get it! But Dick Cheney does get it, all too well.

No matter what Obama ever said from the campaign on, the Idiot Nation still believes Obama will (somehow) take away their guns. Now the administration is having a real impact - you can now take a loaded gun onto public lands and into parks. Does the hard fact of this material change alter what idiots believe? No. It does not fit their made up world, therefore it is not happening.

People are stupid.

What I Can't Figure Out About Health Care

I can't figure out why so many people can't understand this:

A. Your health care is tied to your employment.
B. If you get really sick, you won't be able to work.
C. If you can't work, you lose access to health care.

Why is that hard to understand?
