Also, Arianna Huffington and Tony Blankley explore the possible connections between the CIA and Blackwater and consider the current status of the health care debate as Robert Scheer moderates. —KA

Wow Blankley. RAM was a “publicity stunt”? Even the most cynical health
insurance-cheerleaders from team Red wouldn’t go that far.

“Hey, Martha, you know I feel pretty good, but let me go down to RAM and wait in
a 12 hr line to get a root canal. We need to show Big Politics where we stand on
health care reform.”

Out of touch. Delusional. Intellectual fantasist. Get a real job.

We are still hiring mercenaries. We have over 150,000 in Iraq yet and some 70,000 in Afghanistan. Why are we still paying 6 figure salaries to each and why are we hiding it in the news.
