Keith Olbermann

I loved Keith Olbermann when he was taking George W. Bush to task for violating the Constitution. But it soon became apparent that Olbermann was just another partisan hack -- everything Democrat good, everything Republican bad.

The turning point for me was when Olbermann defended Senator/Candidate Obama's flip-flop on telecom immunity (in the case of President Bush's illegal warrantless spying on the American people). This made it perfectly clear that Olbermann has no real regard for the Constitution. All he really cares about is being a pimp for the Democrats. Since then . . .

Olbermann has graduated from being a hack and a pimp, to being rabid and crazed. For instance, it doesn't surprise me to learn that he donned a Bill O'Reilly mask and gave the Nazi salute at a gathering of TV critics. 

Some people may be able to see a meaningful difference between O'Reilly and Olbermann, but I can't.

In addition: Nick Gillepsie nails the frantic, breathless, run-on-sentence Olbermann style in this great take-down.

Healthcare: HSAs work!

Via Carpe Diem: In 2009, for example, state workers with the HSA visited emergency rooms and physicians 67% less frequently than co-workers with traditional health care. They were much more likely to use generic drugs than those enrolled in the conventional plan, resulting in an average lower cost per prescription of $18. They were admitted to hospitals less than half as frequently as their colleagues. Differences in health status between the groups account for part of this disparity, but consumer decision-making is, we've found, also a major factor. Overall, participants in our new plan ran up only $65 in cost for every $100 incurred by their associates under the old coverage.
