The government has been awarding the state for five years in a row for gettimg more people on it’s welfare rolls. There’s also a two year grant from the Obama administration which rewards Oregon for granting food stamps without interviewing the prospective recipient.
Your tax dollars at work!
This is one of many Pelosi connections with crony capitalism of the Democrat kind.
Her brother in law, Ronald Pelosi is the number 2 at an “investment partner” of SolarReserve LLC, a renewable energy developer.
Another “investment partner” is Argonaut Private Equity, whose board member, Steve Mitchell, also served on the Solyndra board of directors, and who might regain some of his losses.
The Blaze also notes that Wind Capital’s Tom Carnahan is Obama’s number one Missouri fundfaiser. Wind capital got a 107 milion tax credit from the Treasury department.
It’s good to be an Obama capitalist

Is the Berkeley College Republicans‘ ’Diversity’ Bake Sale Racist? | Cupcakes | TheBlaze.com.
There is California legislation (Senate bills 187 and 387) which would allow Universities to consider race in the process of admitting students. The UC Berkeley College Republicans decided to model the results of this legislation by holding a bake sale with race-based pricing structure, with Whites and Asians paying the most, Blacks and Hispanics paying reduced rates and all women getting a discount.
The sale drew a crowd of unhinged lefties who…… you know….. didn’t understand satire enough to get the point of the sale. They’re still foaming at the mouth on Facebook and in the blogosphere.
Dems hammer GOP’s Planned Parenthood funding probe – TheHill.com.
Planned Parenthood gets MORE than a Third of its funds from tax payers, but it is shocking to Dems that conservatives would want assurances that the money is not for abortion. It’s OK for the government to raid Gibson guitar company and steal materials from them without pressing charges of wrongdoing. But asking how planned parenthood spend government funding??? Nooooo!!
Insiders of PPFA have assured us that there is no separation between abortion and birth control at that organization. Pharmacologically and economically we know that to be true. The birth control business funnels customers towards the abortion business.
Apologies to those who may have experienced slowness of the blog. Pharmer has improved the management of the ‘laxative and enema’ programs which remove obstructive spam.
It is hoped that readers can get where they want to go very quickly, down on the Pharm.
Spam generators should rest assured that their parasitic ads will not last long on this blog. It might be more profitable to find another host, or best of all, find an honest way to advertise.
A group of medical researchers in the U.S. and Canada have collected data on the catastrophic consequences of using methotrexate for pregnancies misdiagnosed as ectopic.
The reasearchers concluded, based on the always dire outcomes, and frequent misdiagnosis, up to (40-50% in the ER), of ectopic pregnancy, that a non-judgmental system to allow further collection data on errors in the use of methotrexate needs to be collected. Fear of reprisal severely inhibits the reporting of these cases.
Ectopic pregnancy, occurring when the embryo develops outside the uterus, is often treated by salpingectomy (removal of the embryo and fallopian tube), salpingotomy (less drastic), or the use of methotrexate to cause demise of the embryo, and resorption. Use of this drug has increased drastically in the last 10 years as a means to preserve fertility for the mother. Controversy surrounds the treatment for those who view it as a direct and specific attack on the developing human, or for those who cite the probability of incorrect use. Diagnostic emphasis in recent years seems more geared towards avoiding missed cases of ectopic pregnancy, rather than being most certain that the pregnancy is actually located outside of the uterus.
The authors argued that ectopic pregnancy should be substantiated by a confirmatory ultrasound, and methotrexate used only after careful consideration. They cited the alway disastrous results of misapplied methotrexate treatment, including deaths of otherwise healthy unborn babies, or babies born with severe skeletal and cardiac defects.
Does this mean that stat orders for methotrexate from emergency departments, and orders of this drug for “possible ectopic pregnancy” should cease altogether?
More youngsters having unsafe sex: global study – Yahoo! News.
The World Contraception Day task force together with Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals have conducted a survey showing that more kids are having sex without birth control and condoms in France, the U.S. and the U.K.
They fault a barrier to unbiased information about contraception as the cause.
Why is this ridiculous? Just a sampling:
The source of the survey comes from those who sell birth control.
The products are misbranded as contraceptives, which the public defines as preventing fertilization. Unfortunately drugs classed as contraceptives have multiple mechanisms, some of which are frankly abortive.
These groups who promote sex among teens are complaining that kids don’t feel EMPOWERED enough to ask for contraception or negotiate such use with their partners. Yes, young girls often don’t feel that they have the upper hand when coping with older man who want sex.
It is proposed that the government will confer such empowerment upon the kids. (Don’t hold your breath for an end to sex slavery, and other socially maladaptive behavior.)
An example of ‘ harmful myths’ is given: people in ” Thailand and India believe that having sex during menstruation is an effective form of contraception”. FACT: this is an element of the calendar method, which would be more effective than the abysmal morning after pills, if actually used. Unfortunately both methods are more than useless for preventing STDs.
Don’t expect unbiased contraceptive advise from the makers of Yaz (black box warning for DVT and stroke) and Mirena (drug eluting, indwelling, coat hanger).
