Sleb Safari: Kanye West is the life coach who didn’t know you needed
YOU can’t keep a good man down and it should surprise no-one that Kanye West has made a triumphant return to Twitter, tossing out snack-size bites of Kanye-isms. Kanye is writing a book in real time and has become the life coach you never knew you wanted. “If you wanna see the true character of [a] person watch the way they treat someone who can’t do anything for them,” is one tweet. Sleb Safari is going to write some of these on Post Its and leave them for people to find. No need to thank Sleb Safari, instead it humbly asks that you pay it forward. Kanye feels very strongly that love should be our guiding force and has devoted what is surely a chapter of the real time book to this lesson. “Everything you do in life stems from either fear or love” and “fear often causes people to be manipulative” he shares. Before long these Kanye-isms are going to turn up on Facebook with all the other meaningful quotations wrongly attributed to … [Read more...] about Sleb Safari: Kanye West is the life coach who didn’t know you needed
Bill Cosby creepily referred to himself in the third person during sexual assault, first accuser testifies
Heidi Thomas can only remember "snapshots" of Bill Cosby drugging and sexually assaulting her as he creepily referred to himself in the third person back in 1984, she testified Tuesday. The married mother of three said whatever the comedian allegedly used to spike her drink, it caused her to black out at his Reno residence during what she thought was a coaching session for her fledgling acting career. "I remember waking up on a bed," she testified to a rapt courtroom in Norristown, Penn. "He had no clothes, and I was laying down, and he was forcing himself into my mouth," Thomas, now in her late 50s, testified. Bill Cosby’s lawyer calls sex assault accuser a ‘con artist’ "I heard his voice," she said. "He said, 'Your friend is going to come again.'" As she faded in and out, Cosby repeatedly referred to himself as either "Mr. C" or "your friend," she testified. Thomas took the witness stand on the second day of the … [Read more...] about Bill Cosby creepily referred to himself in the third person during sexual assault, first accuser testifies
HWR – The double edition
You get more for your money this fortnight! The Senate Republicans’ release of their repeal-and-replace bill – plus our usual plethora of wisdom from health care experts, gives you a double-value today – the first in the history of HealthWonkReview! Part One – Repeal-and-Replace Let’s be real – Republican Senators’ bill is NOT an ACA replacement, rather it is best understood as a major reduction in Medicaid. For some, that’s all to the good; for others, not so much. Here’s what you need to know. (note I looked for other blog posts supporting the Senate bill – if you read any good ones please send them to me) From Forbes, Avik Roy says “the Senate bill will have far-reaching effects on American health care: for the better….if you simply kept [some tax credits from the House bill] in force, and tossed overboard the Paul Ryan flat tax credit, you’d solve all of these problems with the House bill. By making that … [Read more...] about HWR – The double edition
“Health Wonk Review” Here At Health Policy and Marketplace Review
This week it's my turn to host Health Wonk Review. HWR is designed to highlight some of the best posts in the health blog world.What I found remarkable this time was the sheer number of thoughtful submissions. The number and quality of health care blogs continues to grow.It's a long, but terrific, list so I'll try to make it easy reading:Brian Kleppper, posting over at "Health Commentary" gives us his take on the importance of California health reform and his worry that it will end up being more about taking care of the special interests than the strong medicine our system really needs. You know, I think Brian is just another one of those independently wealthy health care consultants who likes to cause trouble.Speaking of independently wealthy health care consultants who cause lots of trouble, Joe Paduda, over at Managed Care Matters, gives us his take on John McCain's health plan now that the Senator is back in the game. You can also access my detailed analysis of McCain's plan on … [Read more...] about “Health Wonk Review” Here At Health Policy and Marketplace Review
