Teaparty-Republican spending cuts: immunizations

I’m not surprised.

I would assume that GOP leaders would defend these cuts with the same line they always use: “We’re broke.” But we’re not, and if Republicans believe we can afford tax cuts and wars, but not immunizations for low-income children, that’s pretty twisted.Steve Benen

Swear to God, I’m beginning to think the Teaparty-GOP wants only two classes of people: 1) the wealthy and 2) everyone else. And “everyone else” will shuffle from alley to soup kitchen — a charity soup kitchen of course — with soot and rat feces on their hands and faces, teeth missing, calling to those with shoes, “G’day, Guv’nah! Spare a sixpence?”

April 8. That’s when we find out if Dems give in to this H.R.1 bullshit or not.

Morning in the bunker

STUFF:

  • Breaking: Video Surfaces of Andrew Breitbart in Compromising Position with Goat
  • States that allow same-sex marriage vs. states that allow marriage between first-cousins. America!

POLITICS:

  • Digby: I do hope the Democrats are paying close attention to this because it might just save their bacon if they play their cards right. [...] going after teachers, cops and firefighters is a very, very dangerous thing to do. And as I wrote before, the Democrats should throw it right in their face.
  • Ex-Sen. Ted Stevens dead at 86. RIP. Gruesome new details just out from the AP on the crash that killed him and others, while some miraculously survived.
  • Derp! So much FAIL from those who would try to defend the Snowbilly Grifter former-half-term Governor. Behold.

NEWS:

  • The public health emergency triggered by the emergence of the H1N1 virus “should be considered over,” an emergency committee of the World Health Organization said Tuesday.

Song of the day:
