NICE rejects ten drugs (allowed in Europe) that could have extended 20,000 cancer patients' lives

NICE rejects ten drugs (allowed in Europe) that could have extended 20,000 cancer patients' lives
"Up to 20,000 people have died needlessly early after being denied cancer drugs on the NHS, it was revealed yesterday.
The rationing body NICE has failed to keep a promise to make more life-extending drugs available.
Treatments used widely in the U.S. and Europe have been rejected on grounds of cost-effectiveness, yet patients and their loved ones have seen the NHS waste astronomical sums.
Last week it emerged that £21billion - a fifth of the entire annual budget - was spent on failed schemes to tackle inequality."

The Cost-Control Illusion

The Cost-Control Illusion - WSJ.com

"Above all other reasons, voters who oppose ObamaCare cite their fear over costs:
They think it will cause their insurance premiums to soar and result in far higher taxes to fund a vast new entitlement.
The public is right on both counts, which is why White House smokejumpers have been dispatched to put out this fire as the final votes approach.

Let's take their claims one by one, as a public service while everyone else focuses on the whip count."

What evidently was drug-related violence left 13 people dead early Saturday in and around the Mexican beach resort of Acapulco, which has traditionally been a popular spring break destination.

Five of the dead were police officers who were attacked while on nighttime patrol on the outskirts of the Pacific Ocean resort, security officials said."

This ain't good....

Leader of Roman Catholic Church in Ireland urged to quit over abuse victims' silence vow

Leader of Roman Catholic Church in Ireland urged to quit over abuse victims' silence vow Mail Online
"The leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland is facing huge pressure to resign amid allegations he witnessed teenage abuse victims take vows of silence over a paedophile.
Cardinal Sean Brady, the Primate of All Ireland, admitted that he attended meetings in 1975 when two teenage boys signed oaths of silence while testifying in a Church inquiry against Father Brendan Smyth."

Oh my God!
It gets worse!

Vatican officials defend pope on abuse

Vatican officials defend pope on abuse
"Benedict is also under fire for a 2001 church directive he wrote while a Vatican cardinal, instructing bishops to keep abuse cases confidential."

There is little disagreement that the world wide Catholic Church is a pedophile enterprise.

The Catholic religion is a noble religion.

It has been hijacked.

I doubt it will ever recover.

A tragedy for the world!

Soak the Rich, Keep the Change

RealClearPolitics - Soak the Rich, Keep the Change
"Do Washington state Democrats have a death wish?
That's the question many locals must be asking after the Democrat-controlled Senate held hearings last Thursday, with little notice, packed with supporters for a new bill that would impose a statewide income tax."

UN Navy crew's mutiny against the 'Sea Witch' captain who ' belittled' them - Telegraph
"Standing on the bridge of her warship with the ocean before her and a crew of men awaiting her command, the future looked fantastic for Captain Holly Graf, the first American to take charge of a US Navy cruiser."

The Brits get it.

We, apparently, didn't.

Dwarfgate: 5ft 5in Sarkozy's fury as 6ft Cameron and 5ft 11in Osborne 'mock his size'

"David Cameron is caught up in an extraordinary 'dwarfgate' row with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The dispute centres on a claim that Mr Cameron made a remark about 'hidden dwarfs' while discussing a photograph showing himself with Mr Sarkozy - who is seven inches shorter than the Tory leader.

The French government was reportedly furious about the comment."

It sorta makes sense to drabble about "dwarfgate" rather than the fiscal tsunami that WILL engulf the entire European suicide pact SOON.

Like ordering croissants on the titanic.....right?

Software Turns Your Cell Phone Against You

Software Turns Your Cell Phone Against You - ABC News
"Malicious software for cell phones could pose a greater risk for consumer's personal and financial well-being than computer viruses, say scientists from Rutgers University.

Software on cell phones can be used to track the phone's owner.

The scientists have made a particularly resilient malware, known as a rootkit, that can turn a cell phone's microphone, GPS and battery against the phone's owner."

If true, this could be BIG!

Illinois' in hock, and all of us are on the hook to pay up :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Mark Brown
"Illinois: Land of Deadbeats.
Who am I talking about?
Me, you, your neighbor Kathy, your Uncle Bob, every last one of us who makes this state our home.

You don't think there's any cause to be calling you a deadbeat?

Sorry, I don't mean to be impolite, but what would you call somebody going on six months late in paying their bills?


Better yet, what would you call somebody six months late in paying what they owe you?

Well, as of Wednesday, our state government was working on paying its bills from last September."

The warnings of disaster are out but the sheeple refuse to hear until it will be too late.

Sounds just like the mid-1930s to me.

We are screwed cuz we vote for liars who will tell us lies.

Consistently......

What a mess!

Desiree Rogers called bosses by first names

Desiree Rogers called bosses by first names
"Is the real reason White House social secretary Desiree Rogers was stripped of her power and 'pushed' to resign that she was stealing the thunder of first lady Michelle Obama and first friend Valerie Jarrett?

You bet."

Don't mess with the Obama, South Chicago political machine!
Even Al Capone couldn't win that fight!

Utah lawmaker resigns in hot-tub incident

Utah lawmaker resigns in hot-tub incident - Washington Times
"Utah's House majority leader resigned from the Legislature on Saturday, two days after acknowledging he paid a woman $150,000 to keep quiet about a nude hot-tubbing incident that took place a quarter century ago when she was a teenager."

This GOPer scumbag didn't resign because he is an honorable man ($150,000??).

He resigned because he got caught and republican voters purge their scumbags.

The democrats deify theirs.

Their IS a difference between the two political parties.

The Phony ‘Coffee Party’ Astroturfing Continues

The Phony ‘Coffee Party’ Astroturfing Continues: MSM Looks the Other Way - Big Journalism
"Now comes this coffee party USA group claiming to be non-partisan.
Frank Ross of BigGovernment.com did a great job proving that the creator of this “coffee party” business was really a big Obama operative.

No thanks to the Old Media we quickly found out that Annabel Park, the coffee party originator, is an Obama operative and works for the New York Times as a “strategy analyst.”

So, it was created by an Obama operative and member of the Old Media, but this was conveniently absent from early reporting on the coffee party phenomenon."

Tea Party or Coffee Party?

Who you gonna trust?

Sorta like the choice between "your neighbor" or "your government organizer".

Not all that hard to choose, is it?

British fertility clinic raffling human egg

British fertility clinic raffling human egg
"A British fertility clinic said Sunday it was raffling off a human egg this week to promote its 'baby profiling' service, which it insists is legal under UK law.
The winner can select the egg donor by education, upbringing and racial background."

Do the libs who support this really understand what's going on here?
I think not.
