While the storm continues to circulate around proposed health care reform, it is clear it should be called health INSURANCE reform. And while "death panel" arguments make the rounds of the conservative pundits, they fail to address the "death panels" already existing in the form of, once again, insurance companies. Take a look at some reports about crazy insurance company opinions on "pre-existing conditions."

Public Policy Polling asked another of their rather bizarre questions, this time to New Jersey residents, and the results show extremism and looniness on both sides of the aisle.

Former US President Bill Clinton, the last president to attempt an overhaul of the health care system, said today that the President Obama will win passage of his health care initiative. He even went so far as to say that there would even be some Republican senators who would support the legislation. Clinton speculated that Obama might be able to win over Maine Republicans Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins.

Michelle Obama is hoping that the 2016 Olympics will be held in Chicago. Mrs. Obama was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, not far from the suggested locations for the 2016 Olympic Games. President Barack Obama is sending his wife Michelle to Copenhagen next month in hopes that she can urge Olympics organizers to select Chicago to host the 2016 Games.

What's behind all the uproar from certain circles about Barack Obama, health insurance reform and just about anything about you can think of? What's behind all the signs purporting to socialism and naziism (which are mutually exclusive, by the way; just think of how Hitler felt about the U.S.S.R.)? Jimmy Carter summed it up in one word: racism.

President Obama's speech to the AFL-CIO today focused on healthcare but showed his support of organized labor.

Matt Latimer's new book, Speech-less: Tales of a White House Survivor, is due out in a few days. Latimer is a former Bush speechwriter, and last month the Washington Post noted that some ex-Bush administration were growing nervous about the new tome.

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) will milk this for as long as he can. After his "You lie!" outburst during Barack Obama's health insurance reform speech on Wednesday night (and some said he planned that "outburst," as the text of the speech was known to all), he apologized, though somewhat unrepentently. He told Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Sunday that he won’t apologize to Congress.

The hits just keep on comin' for Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), also known as "You Lie Guy." He's the member of Congress who blurted out "You lie" during Barack Obama's speech on health care reform on Wednesday night. Things are so bad Wikipedia had to lock his article.

The Coast Guard began patrolling the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. after security was increased in the wake of 9/11. Today reports emerged, some reporting that a U.S. Coast Guard vessel fired on a "suspicious boat," and others that shots were fired in a training exercise. Both reports have been denied.

Joe Wilson has met with bipartisan criticism over his outburst, which I would politely call "impolite," during Barack Obama's address to Congress on Wednesday night. Both sides of the aisle have criticized him, and besides prompting over $100,000 worth of donations to Democrat Rob Miller for a possible rematch with Wilson in next year's midterm elections. It's also brought out the snarky webmasters, who created the site joewilsonisyourpreexistingcondition.com.

The name Joe Wilson has entered another firestorm in politics. No, not the Joe Wilson whose wife and CIA operative Valerie Plame was outed during the Bush administration, allegedly as retribution. No, this is Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina.
