Nursing a grudge

A hospital night nurse in Chicago, cuffed by a cop in the ER and detained in the back of his cruiser for 45 minutes.

Why? Because she insisted on following standard procedure. Now she’s suing the police department, and I’m sure the officer who grabbed her will insist that standard procedure be followed, before any disciplinary action is taken.

More evil than Communism?

I’ve already said something about Michael Moore’s latest outraged assertion, that Capitalism is evil. One bit of confusion that many people, including George Bush, seem to have, is equating Capitalism with Democracy. China is proof that the former does not imply the latter.

The shout-downs against health care regulation at the so-called town hall meetings reminded me of Moore’s ambush tactics, except a lot less clever than driving an armored car to AIG and demanding the bailout money be given back to the American taxpayers. Moore was on The Colbert Report last night. Regardless of his politics, the man simply has to drop a hundred pounds.
