Health Care Items; Obama Administration Bribe, and the Justice Dept.'s Rejection; Obama's Connecticut SSN; and Al Sharpton's Lie

Free Republic writes another article on how this is no longer to be a free republic:  Now that the U.S. government has achieved its monopoly over health care, new technologies are in the works that will allow the government to remotely monitor and track whether ordinary citizens are complying with taking medications prescribed by conventional doctors. One new technology described at the U.S. Senate Committee on Aging allows "pills to be electronically outfitted with transmitters" which would track the patient's compliance with medications and broadcast that information back to government health care enforcers who check for "compliance and efficacy."

This would allow government health operators, for example, to know whether you've taken all your prescribed psychiatric medications. If you veer from the course of pharmaceuticals prescribed by your doctor, health care enforcement agents could be dispatched to your door to make sure you start taking your pills.  Parents who currently attempt to protect their children from toxic medical therapies such as chemotherapy could be closely monitored by government medical enforcement agents. If you try to flush dangerous pharmaceuticals down the toilet instead of actually taking them, the lack of an electronic tracking signal will let your health care observers know you didn't really take the pills. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2501352/posts

The Las Vegas Review Journal writes:  Speaking at a Washington event, Rep. Pelosi, D-Calif., gushed that the government will take care of anyone tired of grinding through this recession.  "We see it as an entrepreneurial bill, a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care," Rep. Pelosi said. "You don't have to be job-locked."  Which raises an important question: If everyone decides to quit their jobs and "focus on their passions," who'll pay for their health care then?  http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/washington-will-take-care-of-you-94564784.html

During his Meet the Press appearance, Sestak was asked by moderator David Gregory in this fashion:

MR. GREGORY: Yes or no, straightforward question. Were you, were you offered a job, and what was the job?
REP. SESTAK: I was offered a job, and I answered that.
MR. GREGORY: You said no, you wouldn't take the job. Was it the secretary of the Navy?
REP. SESTAK: Right. And I also said, "Look, I'm getting into this...

The "Right" answer would be the first time that Sestak has personally confirmed what has been long suspected -- the bribe Issa mentions was indeed the job of Secretary of the Navy.
Not to be forgotten in all of this is Arlen Specter's reminder that for the recipient of a bribe offer not to report the offer itself to legal authorities makes the recipient of the offer -- Sestak and Romanoff -- vulnerable to charges of "misprision of a felony." http://spectator.org/archives/2010/05/24/bribe-charge-issa-jobsgate-vid

Is the U.S. Selective Service System now blocking access to President Barack Obama's online registration records? World Net Daily writes: Members of the public searching the federal database for the commander in chief's registration are suddenly finding new difficulty, possibly due to the startling revelation of Obama's alleged use of a Connecticut-based Social Security Number.  The problems using the SSS search engine come in the wake of WND's disclosure that two private investigators working independently are wondering why Obama is using a Social Security Number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state.  The question is being raised amid speculation about the president's history fueled by an extraordinary lack of public documentation. Along with his original birth certificate, Obama also has not released educational records, scholarly articles, passport documents, medical records, papers from his service in the Illinois state Senate, Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and adoption papers. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=156573

The top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee warned Monday that he would seek to slow Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's path to confirmation unless senators get full access to her files as a Clinton administration aide.  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100524/ap_on_go_su_co/us_kagan_sessions

The New York Post opines:  you know the old saying: "Everyone loves a charade." Well, it seems that the Census Bureau may be playing games. Last week, one of the millions of workers hired by Census 2010 to parade around the country counting Americans blew the whistle on some statistical tricks. The worker, Naomi Cohn, told The Post that she was hired and fired a number of times by Census. Each time she was hired back, it seems, Census was able to report the creation of a new job to the Labor Department.
Labor doesn't check the Census hiring figure or whether the jobs are actually new or recycled. It considers a new job to have been created if someone is hired to work at least one hour a month.

Politico reports:  The Justice Department has rejected a Republican request to appoint a special counsel to investigate allegations that the White House offered a job to Rep. Joe Sestak if he would drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate Democratic primary.

[Al Sharpton is now just plain lying about the great Martin Luther King's dreams. On Sunday, Sharpton told a black congregation in Connecticut, “The dream was to make everything equal in everybody’s house.”  Say what?  I don't think so.  King praised the ideal of equal opportunity, not equal outcomes!  This is a terrific example of the distortion of history which is also prevalent in our re-education, er, school system.]

American Spectator writes:  there is no excuse, none at all, for this administration to have sat so long on Gov. Bobby Jindal's request for permission, or waiver of permitting requirements, to build sand berms/sand islands to block the oil from Louisiana's coast. The lack of response borders on criminal negligence.  http://spectator.org/blog/2010/05/25/obamas-criminal-negligence-of
