Mrs Betty Bowers: Less is Mormon!
>> ^campionidelmondo:
The bible is just as far fetched imo and just because it's older doesn't make it any more believable.
It's not the age, it's the volume. Mormons believe their own far fetched stuff ON TOP of all the traditional far fetched stuff in the Bible, so yes, from an empirical standpoint they are crazier. Like clothing, many layers of crazy will insulate you from the cold atheist winter that is the internet.
I'm not sure that the -quantity- of delusions is the correct way to compare relative insanity. Once you've lost touch with reality, you're insane...anything after that is pretty much irrelevant.

Sarah Palin Book Signing - Meet The Fans
Are you honestly claiming someone who is a fan of Sara Palin is likely to have reasonable thought out beliefs to back up their support of her? Sure you CAN cherry pick interviews but are you really saying that's what's happening here?
I think a lot of people have difficulty comprehending a different world view. Generally the folks who support Palin and her ilk care much less than folks on the left about the sort of rational arguments, that the interviewer is prompting for. To folks in her camp, it's more about "character" and trusting people to act in line with your "values". Why should they conform to the lefts rules of how to make decisions?
WPs ref to Bullshit is apt, but I think WP underestimates how incoherent most people are when asked to actually explain their beliefs and preferences. This works across the political spectrum, but folks in the fundamentalist-neo-con camp don't have any cultural incentive to self reflection, and so it's harder to cherry pick the "coherent" ones, because that sort of coherence does not, in general, matter to them.

Congressman Weiner: "You Don't Know What Socialism Means!"
- The overhead percentage is the administrative cost compared to total costs, so a lower overhead doesn't mean less costs, it means less compared to the total costs. When Medicare's costs are out of control, overhead will shrink making Medicare look good to anyone dumb enough to only look at that particular statistic and conjure the image of Medicare as a model of efficiency.
- Medicare serves the elderly, they have higher expenditures because they need greater levels of medical care, thus making overhead costs smaller compared to greater total costs in percentage terms.
- Medicare has very high levels of fraud and abuse, something like $70 billion every year! They don't waste any money trying to stop it, because they don't care if needless procedures are being done or if people are stealing money, it's not their money! Private insurers, on the other hand, actively waste money to fight fraud and abuse, which adds to the overhead and reduces total costs, increasing the overhead percentage in relation to these smaller costs!
- Private insurers pay state health insurance premium taxes and all sorts of business taxes, Medicare doesn't.
P.S.: Peroxide, please spare me your misdirected hatred of Bill O'Reilly, I couldn't care less what the hell he said about Amsterdam, reply when you have something pertinent to say.
Congressman Weiner: "You Don't Know What Socialism Means!"
Not to mention what is wasted on high levels of fraud and abuse, that's not being counted as overhead for Medicare's numbers. Private insurers, on the other hand, waste money fighting against fraud and abuse, and that counts as overhead! Private insurances also have to pay state health insurance taxes of 2-4%, which, you guessed it, counts as overhead, and Medicare doesn't.
It's all bureaucrats fooling around with statistical hedonics. If you compare on a per-person basis, Medicare wastes 25% on overhead, dramatically less efficient than private insurance.

Congressman Weiner: "You Don't Know What Socialism Means!"
This congressman is a deluded imbecile, I wanna' bash the anchorman's head for buying into his overhead bullshit and not doing his homework. Medicare's overhead is smaller in overall percentage terms because it wastes a lot more money, that makes the overhead costs smaller in comparison to the total costs which are enormous: They are servicing the elderly!
