(PASO ROBLES, Calif.) -
Republicans condemn Democrats for spending too much money on Healthcare Reform, yet encourage President Obama to send more troops to Afghanistan as an increasing expense to the nation.
A chorus based on the same tune was used to achieve similar results [domestically and abroad] where 130,000 troops supposedly will be removed from Iraq by the end of 2011, and where the act of military reduction ought to be well under way, but isn’t.

Kenneth G. Ramey Salem-News.com

(WASHINGTON D.C.) -
Saturday evening at 11:15 p.m., the House of Representatives voted to pass their health insurance reform bill. Despite countless attempts over nearly a century, no chamber of Congress has ever before passed comprehensive health reform. It is a historic event.
The bill would expand coverage to most Americans and stop insurance practices like refusing to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions. The bill passed by a narrow vote of 220-215.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
I have been hoping for this day for 10 years. As I was the Number One Medical Marijuana Doctor in Oregon for the first 5 years and an erstwhile target/victim of that paper who seemed to delight in making snide remarks about me and worse remarks about my desperate, usually destitute, disabled patients. This is indeed a new positive era.
On Tuesday they published an editorial WITH MEDICAL MARIJUANA FEDS TO QUIT BEING A PAIN. I exalt in their change of distressful tone.

Who would you believe... One of the nation's most educated doctors? Or a mainstream reporter with an obvious agenda?
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
I discovered by computer the original article by the same title in the Gresham, Oregon newspaper, The Outlook, by accident. I had been interviewed for it by Taryn Luna and was assured that it would be a well balanced story giving both sides of the medical marijuana story.
