of course they'll blame obama

and not the corporations.

record shortages of prescription drugs in the united states are forcing pharmacists and doctors to scramble to find medications for their patients, suitable alternatives or to delay potentially lifesaving treatments.

medical professionals, including those at bay area hospitals and infusion centers, say they've been able to blunt some of the impact by turning to alternative drugs or reserving supplies of vital medications for patients who need them most. they caution, though, that the problem is reaching a crisis point and it's only a matter of time before those strategies will no longer work.

federal recalls, production problems and corporate decisions to discontinue certain medications for financial reasons are cited as the chief causes of the dwindling drug supplies.- sfgate

bp's macondo...it's back

and bubbling cruddy crude.
no, this isn’t a post from last year. oil from the macondo well site is fouling the gulf anew – and bp is scrambling to contain both the crude and the pr nightmare that waits in the wings. reliable sources tell us that bp has hired 40 boats from venice to grand isle to lay boom around the deepwater horizon site – located just 50 miles off the louisiana coast. the fleet rushed to the scene late last week and worked through the weekend to contain what was becoming a massive slick at the site of the macondo wellhead, which was officially “killed” back in september 2010. - stuart smith blog

on the date of his "passing"...august 16th

michele bachmann wishes elvis a "happy birthday." (which is actually on january 8)
"before we get started, let's all say, 'happy birthday' to elvis presley today," bachmann said. "we played you a little bit of 'promise land' when we pulled up. you can't do better than elvis presley, and we thought we would celebrate his birthday as we get started celebrating taking our country back to work."

More a Feature than Collateral Damage

Bill Clinton, 1995, "If I don't get a clean debt ceiling increase, I'm going to make certain everyone knows you are responsible for Social Security checks not going out."

Barack H. Obama, 2011, "If I don't get a debt ceiling increase and an appearance of bipartisanship that allows me to pillage the American economy and anger my base, I may not pay bondholders."

At the very least, the enduring reputation of the University of Chicago should receive its death knell.
