One of the top news stories of the day was new information regarding Breast Cancer, and as usual, I can see beyond the cloaking device at what is really going on.
First, the news. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force adjusted their stance recommending mammogram for women over 40 to only once a year for those over 50 reported the Wall Street Journal. In addition, they advised against physicians teaching women self testing techniques upon new information they are of little value.
Quoting the Wall Street Journal article, The task force, which receives funding from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality but is independent from the government, last issued guidelines for breast cancer in 2002. "The task force isn't saying there isn't a benefit" to screening women in their 40s, but "we're saying the benefit is small," Dr. Petitti said. "The change really is a change between do it routinely and don't do it routinely." Women 40 and older who are free of any symptoms should talk with their doctors and decide with them whether to put off screening for a few years, she said.
Who is AHRQ you may ask? They describe themselves on their website as "The health services research arm of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), complementing the biomedical research mission of its sister agency, the National Institutes of Health."
Although many articles are hitting private insurance on this one, including representatives of the Susan G. Komen Foundation as noted in the WSJ article, I find the opposite. As our government prepares to take over the health care industry, they are finding ways to cut costs. On such area appears to be by delaying testing of breast cancer through expensive mammograms.
In private business, cutting costs is a prudent measure. But in the case of your health battling the deadly disease of cancer, this type of thinking could cost you your life. Dr. BAHL, not a MD by any stretch of the imagination but having gleefully performed many breast examinations in my day, highly recommends that not withstanding the governmental noise, women check early and often! Save the Tatas! And perhaps, your life!
It seems to me that this is an example of where Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, through arms of the government, are already choosing a level in healthcare where winners and losers collide. Market forces, you and your physician should be the ones making these decisions, not bureaucrats, or as Sarah Palin accurately pointed out, death panels, with hidden agendas.
Speaking of hidden agendas in the health care abomination, Sean Hannity discusses the topic with SE Cupp and the very, very lovely Kimberly Guilfoyle. Take listen:

I Hear Voices
Voices were heard at the final stop of The Tea Party Express in Orlando last Thursday evening. About 4500 Central Floridians showed up to let their voice be heard on a Chamber of Commerce (another Obama target) evening.
It was a pleasure to see Katy Abram, the woman who railed on Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania at a town hall meeting, at the event.
Here are some photos I took of the evening.
Bill Clinton is not impressed by the Tea Party movement as reported from a closed door meeting he had with Democrats this past week. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) quoted Clinton arguing: "The reason the tea-baggers are so inflamed is because we are winning."
Winning at what?
No doubt, the Obama administration has thoroughly defeated all the previous administrations, combined, in expanding the federal deficit.
Obama is winning his assault on small business, shackling them with excessive regulation and taxation. I know this first hand.
High marks are given to the administration for the crushing of the dollar and overheating the printing presses.
Never has an administration covered such vast territory in apologizing to the world for all the United States successes.
Although the administration fired out rhetoric proclaiming it would be the most transparent of all, they have been quite slippery in rushing through bills not only have the American people not read, but neither have the Congressional representatives who are voting on them.
The level of proficiency in working around the back door of Congress by creating a full bench of Czars is unparalleled.
This administration will go down in history as the best at promoting the most radical moonbats possible as non elected policy makers.
Winning at the level of associations with thugocratic union types. Check.
Obama is winning on his efforts to seize control over large portions of the private sector, if you can believe that here in America.
The running of the two wars the US is engaged in; into the ground.
Home runs on transforming the United States of America and plotting the evil transfer of wealth through Cap and Trade and The Health Care abomination.
No damn wonder the tea party folks are mad. Any free market capitalist American would be! The administration and its operatives, like Mr. Clinton, want to and are discrediting those speaking out.
Because they hear voices. I Hear Voices!
Tea Party Attendees: We got the key!

Florida State salvaged the season behind quarterback EJ Maunel, who in his first start and only real gametime action looked brilliant at Wake Forest as the 'Noles looked like the team that flattened BYU. Beat Maryland at home this week and that will extend the bowl streak to 28. I am sure EJ earned some tomahawks for his performance, but where to put them as we roll out black helmets next week.

Freedom Rang in '89
A celebration took place today in Berlin, attended by our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, marking the 2oth anniversary of the Berlin wall coming down.
Surprisingly, President Barack Obama was busy and could not attend. One would have to wonder what was so busy to preclude him from attending. Was it date night or movie night? Well, Monday is bowling day at the White House. Missing Tuesday is out of the question, for that is poker day and Obama could perhaps get a fizbin? I know it was not his deliberation on the troop requests, since there has been none. Perhaps his help was needed in ramming the unconstituional health care bill down our throats. At any rate, he should have gone, as it is an opportunity gone by for a few shout outs!
The media is not impressed that the freedom rang back on that day. in fact, some in the media openly question the role of the US, and wonder if our ego is at play?
Speaking of ego, when Obama visited Berlin on his apology tour and referenced the wall coming down, he did mention John F. Kennedy and of course himself. On this anniversary, he did find time to send a video praising himself, but failed to mention those who bravely stood before him. In fact, the architect of the event was not mentioned, at that time or today, which is beyond alarming.
I was a senior in college when the torch was lit, and although much of the elite media have conveniently forgot the events as they unfolded and who was responsible, I have not. And, so you don't either, here is the man, dictating events and orchestrating freedom and free market capitalism at every turn.

The Florida State Seminoles held Clemson in check on the road for three quarters, but could not hold the fourth as Clemson pulled away. Seminole quarterback Christian Ponder, playing with broken ribs apparently, was not himself throwing 4 picks. Late in the game, he made a touchdown saving stop on one of them and wrecked his shoulder, ending his season. This spells even more trouble for FSU, as the consecutive bowl streak at 27 seems to be coming to an end unless EJ Manuel can light it up, which is not probable. Ponder had a great season, and was about the only bright spot in a dismal year for us Seminoles.
Nebraska, behind a dominating defense, held Oklahoma without a touchdown for the first time under Bob Stoops and dumped the Sooners in Lincoln. This particular Oklahoma fan is sickened at the thought of it and did not like it one bit. This rivalry was once tops in the country and the teams and fans continue to have the utmost respect for each other. GBR!

Systematic Deception
It is most unfortunate that much of the country is not engaged enough to warp their arms around the deception being thrown at them by the Obama administration and our Congress. Even more distressing is the arrogance and thought process behind the hood winking of the public, from incorrect job numbers, saved jobs and hidden aspects of bills being rushed without proper review.
Greta Van Susteren, host of "On The Record" on FOX News, discusses the deception and lack of transparency with Wall Street Journal senior economics writer Steve Moore:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi warns that she will make every effort to push trough this 2000 page bill no one has had time to read this weekend. So much for the transparency Obama campaigned on. Are they hiding something? Why the rush? Sarah Palin accurately calls out the administration on her Facebook page .
Unemployment is now at 10.2% (due to the policies implemented and the free market interference of this administration in the aftermath of a bubble bursting) and things seem to be spiraling out of control, and under the sense of emergency that appears to exist, the government is asking you to trust them as they take power away from from you, through health care and cap & trade for example, and aim to dictate your life.
Our founding fathers wanted limited government, and as Ronald Reagan once said, as government expands, liberty contracts:

Can You Hear Me Knockin!
Michele Bachmann (R:MN) correctly indicates that the time is now to make sure your voices are heard in an effort to defeat a governmental takeover of our health care system, which would allow these incompetents unprecedented intrusion into our lifestyle. Please take a listen:
Now, how can you insure another 45 million extra people without increasing the amount of Doctors all the while being deficit neutral and not rationing care? You do not have to be Milton Friedman to recognize this dog won't hunt.
It is far time for this nation to exercise some common sense, not steal individual wealth for the common good!
Although I am told four buses are leaving from Orlando, I cannot join them. However, and this should be fun, I will be playing Doctor and making some house calls on my representatives on Friday. Can You Hear Me Knockin!

Going Galt
Ran across this story on the popularity of Ayn Rand on Reason TV, who is having a week long perspective on Ayn Rand, and found it interesting. Please see the piece:
It a subject I have written about before and the ever growing popularity of Ayn Rand and her classic Atlas Shrugged was addressed in a recent column by Wall Street Journal Senior Economic Writer Steve Moore.
For the uninitiated, the moral of the story is simply this: Politicians invariably respond to crises -- that in most cases they themselves created -- by spawning new government programs, laws and regulations. These, in turn, generate more havoc and poverty, which inspires the politicians to create more programs . . . and the downward spiral repeats itself until the productive sectors of the economy collapse under the collective weight of taxes and other burdens imposed in the name of fairness, equality and do-goodism says Moore.
It is no wonder, with leeches coming from everywhere including our own government, that entrepreneurs and capitalists across the fruited plain are attending every tea party possible.
Moore's column, written in January, and the 5o year old classic itself, are incredibly relevant to the goings on today and they demands your immediate attention. The fundamental transformation of our country is fully engaged by the progressives and the time remaining to thwart these economic imbeciles is running out! Go Galt!

Outside of the the top 3, and a once blemished Oregon, is anybody really any good?...Speaking of the Quack Attack, they pulverized USC, handing the Trojans the worst loss of the Pete Carroll era....Florida owns Georgia, officially....It appears that Lane Kiffin is building a winner in Rocky Top....The Atlantic Coast conference is quite average....Florida State is offensive on defense, but QB Christian Ponder can bail them out most days anyhow....Texas dismantled Oklahoma State and appears set for the National Title game...We will learn at least one thing when Ohio State visits Penn State this weekend....And OU is at Lincoln to battle the Cornhuskers in what was once the annual battle to be seen....TCU, Boise State and Cincinnati, unlike BCS imposter's in recent years, are all quite good football teams...LSU travels to Alabama for another big one in the SEC and the Tigers better find some offense....Miami escaped Wake Forest, keeping BCS dreams alive....Iowa keeps on winning but they are not upper level....North Carolina dumped Va. Tech, leaving one to wonder what happened to the trendy preseason pick of the Heels, and speaking of that, what in world are we to make of Ole Miss?...Tim Tebow took out the rushing touchdown record held by Bulldog Herschel Walker, ripping a run off against the Dawgs rubbing slat in the wound along the way.

The Great Stock Market Crash
80 years ago today, on the corner of Wall and Broad, the euphoria of a bloated stock market came crashing down as panic selling hit the market as the bubble burst. The day is known as Black Tuesday, and it became a catalyst for the Great Depression.
We are currently living an example of how devasting these events can be. Please review a portion of this PBS documentary:
What to take from this? They don't give away money on Wall Street, as there is no free lunch!

Piece By Piece
Five days before the presidential election last year, Senator Barack Obama declared that he and his supporters were "five days away from fundamentally transforming America". The comment flew by most who heard it, but the grim reality is that since his election, this is exactly what he is doing. If most Americans were aware of it, they would be really pissed.
Over on FOX News, Glenn Beck is brilliantly laying out this case on his 5PM EST program, and he is throwing up ratings never before seen. But, and sit down for this one, most of the mainstream media portray Beck as a crackpot, and therefore, many American citizens out busting their ass to make a living and spending time with their family do not have time to get the real story and discount Becks presentations.
In addition, that same mainstream media, as well as several elected officials, have labeled those voicing their opposition to Obama and his policies as racists. Sure, it is a sign of defeat when you pull out the race card, but while all this rhetoric is being tossed about, it distracts us from the reality that the America out founders fought to create is in fact being transformed by this administration.
In a column in Investors Business Daily, famed author and economist, Dr. Thomas Sowell, The Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy at Stanford's Hoover Institution, lays out the evidence. No one can claim Sowell is a crackpot, or for that matter, a racist. Sowell is one of the top economists around these days and his opinions are well worth your consideration. Please take a moment to read his editorial, which I find right on target.

Choosing Capitalism
Confused about the direction to take in the tumultuous times we live in? The government is taking seemingly every opportunity to seize more control and power, claiming they, not the American worker, provide the answers. They are wrong! An informed choice must be made as this is indeed a time for choosing, and thankfully, the playbook need not be written. It was laid out masterfully, 45 years ago yesterday in Los Angeles, by a conservative who later became our 40th President. Please listen carefully:Boy Howdy, does that not make things crystal clear for you? Free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity!
Govenment Power Grab of College Football?
In the past year, we have seen the most expansive governmental power grab of my lifetime. Given the numerous successes of governmental influence, including the Post Office, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Medicare, prompt vaccinations, the Department of Motor Vehicles, our prison system and regulatory agencies like the Securities & Exchange Commission, one would wonder who would want these idiots controlling the local car wash.
The government is on the verge of controlling the media, our health care and our energy usage. As alarming that is, it appears an effort to control a precious part of our fabric is also underway. Jenna Lee engages the discussion:
These morons can't control the financial SEC, so now they want to regulate the other SEC! Good grief! I reject governmental influence and disruption in markets, and the last thing I want is them dictating regulation in the color and pageantry of college football. Barack Obama, and most of these Congressional meddlers, would not recognize Bobby Dodd from Bob Devaney and have no idea who plays annually in The Iron Bowl. The third Saturday in October is time for Tennessee and Alabama, not for government to get any crazy ideas. Given the governments embracing of political correctness, will we be awarding trophies to all participants rather than those actually winning championships?
Certainly, there are more pressing issues. Doesn't Obama have a fund raiser to attend? Some dancing or basketball? Afghanistan? Stay away from our Saturday afternoons! Otherwise, fans across the country will be coming to your city to throw you out of office, joining NASCAR fans, tea party members and free market capitalists everywhere!

CNBC Favoring Obama?
I closely follow the goings on on the corner of Wall and Broad in Manhattan, and as such, have a monitor on CNBC throughout the day. I think they do a very good job, from watching the markets to the production of a tremendous slate of documentaries and for the most part, have an excellent group of anchors and reporters.
Unfortunately, the evidence is mounting that CNBC, with Obama corporate partner General Electric as their parent company, has taken a hard left in the presentation of their programming, and this is not good.
A race for Governor of New Jersey produces a case in point. Larry Kudlow, who is fabulous, presents commentary on information the race is over based on polling on Monday nights Kudlow Report.
Over on FOX & Friends this morning, the lovely Gretchen Carlson has an interview with Republican candidate Chris Christie and presents polling which show Christie with a slight lead.
Who is right? Rasmussen polling, the recognized leader in polling, has Christie slightly up, so go figure! So, is CNBC reporting way off or is there a bias in presenting Dave Corzine, the Democrat and Obama backer, ahead? Seems obvious to me.
Want more? Recently, on CNBC's Fast Money, commentary about the policies of Obama was squelched. Charles Gasparino, a stout reporter who is quite aware of his skills, was nudged (did you get the Cass Sunstein pun) by host Melissa Lee to button up when speaking of Obama. Take a listen:
If CNBC thinks traders are not cognizant of the anti-capitalistic policies of Obama and how they will effect the earnings, and composition for that matter, of traded companies going forward, they are completely misinformed. Furthermore, to muzzle a correspondent making this commentary, points to an internal bias.
Increasingly lengthy face time for anti-capitalist far left progressive power brokers like Howard Dean and John Podesta is one thing, but efforts to curtail those attacking the policies of Obama, particularly on the home court of CNBC where economics and finance rule the day, will push FOX Business Network straight to the top!
