Pretty much SOP for conservative political books – lots of other books get the same treatment. Plus some retailers are already selling the book at pretty significant discounts.

And thanks, AKM, for reading the “book” so we don’t have to!

Now, I admit, I’m none too thrilled about the Senate health care bill, and it’s going to be interesting to see how things progress at this point. I’m more for universal health care, and I can tell you, as a Medicare recipient, that having the insurance companies handle the Rx part (D) of it is not thrilling. Those of us who receive a govt subsidy because we’re below a certain amount of SS are being kicked out of many plans because the companies are raising premiums already (even though Bush & the Republican Congress gave them, what was it, $13Billion in subsidies to handle it?). I’m afraid the HCR bill in its final version is going to be just another boondoggle for the insurance companies, who are, in the meantime before 2014 (when it’s first implemented) going to raise premiums, etc. through the roof. They have 5 yrs to do it, and you know they will. If the plan winds up costing more than predicted, we’ll certainly know why. I just can’t see Congress just doing something like health care for the people without enriching the pockets of those who helped write this bill and who in turn contribute to their re-election campaigns.

I am Canadian, as many of the readers here are. My husband and I both have good jobs. We also have health insurance…universal health care. The insurance from our respective employment pays for extra like..chiro..dental…optomotrist…semi and private rooms and meds.

Hubby had heart surgery on Thursday. He came through very well, and is going to be hale and hearty in no time. We had several doctors…all of them we were able to choose.

Our flights to the city where this had to be done…paid..my hotel room…paid…..my meals ….paid….taxis to and from hospital and airport…paid.

Those who argue against health insurance, you do realize this would bankrupt most people with no insurance? Please…think abou this. My taxes may be a little higher than yours, but I know my neighbour will get the same health care I get.

An american that works for the same company as me says he doesn’t even notice the difference in taxes. He and his wife (who is Canadian) are having a baby…..so you can bet, he is greatful for our insurance.

What was that? Was it a comment from a caller? What was said?
Or someone that you know?

OT- Just got back from visiting a friend. She told me on the news tonight, it was reported that Palin’s book sales are the highest ever for a “non-fiction” book. (yuk-if true). AND President Obama has lost almost 20 lbs, which is causing some concern about his health. (disturbing)

Just wanted to share so we can keep those topics on our radar…

Good point SMR. I’m surprised there isn’t anyone at the station [producer?] that doesn’t screen the calls, by asking questions….what do you wish to discuss with Shannyn, for instance.

Who needs idiots asking if she’s a communist?
Did the guy just learn the word? Ridiculous, I would have cut that guy off in a flash. It’s her sandbox and no morons, please.

Even lowly sports radio call in shows screen the ‘too drunk and high to speak’ caller, for instance. Or yet another basher.

I think a funny moment was gerald… who was speaking in a low voice and Shannyn asked if it was a 900 caller, before he identified himself as a minister. LOL It was the 1-900 Minister, I jest!

I wouldn’t be thrilled if Shannyn moved to the other station. Don’t feel like downloading Microsoft’s starlight. Feh on microsoft products, thanks. [from a Mac user]

Great show and go Alaskan bloggers, indeed.
