The Democrats in the Senate managed to release their healthcare bill, topping out at 2,074 pages. Should be easy, quick reading ... considering the fact that Harry Reid wants to open up debate on the bill tomorrow. Yes tomorrow, as in Saturday.

Here are a few notes on this bill.

The Democrats have decided to re-label the bill the "Community Health Insurance Option." The latest focus group must have signaled that people like it when politicians talk about "communities." (People also love the word "security" ... but that's a different rant). The people also like the idea of having "options." Interesting, considering this bill would eventually lead to less options and more government.

Harry Reid and the Democrats have managed to Barack Obama in quite a pickle. Obama has pledged that he will not raise taxes on anyone earning more than $200,000 a year. That was a lie when The Chosen One first uttered it ... and it's a lie today. And t the lie continues ... In order to pay for their healthcare dreams and schemes, Harry Reid's community plan would include raising taxes on individuals making more than $200,000 a year. In other words .. let's tax the achievers to pay for a government redistribution scheme of healthcare resources.

And one other point ... for all you ladies (or men) thinking of giving the girls a facelift or the schnauz a new do, the bill calls for a 5% tax on elective plastic surgery.

Bottom line .. more government, more taxes on the achievers, less freedom. That's the Democrat Party way. That's the change you voted for ... right?

God help us.

Yesterday I told you about the sagging economy's effect on the boob job industry. Yep, plastic surgeons have been facing sharp declines in the number of patients receiving new funbags. Good news for all you men out there who like them ala natural.

So the next pig up the government trough may be ... the adult entertainment business. You got it. The porn industry. The CEO of Girls Gone Wild, Joe Francis, and the publisher of "Hustler" magazine, Larry Flint, say that they want a bailout from the government, similar to the one given to the Big Three automakers. Their request is $5 billion .. oh that's all? They say they will use the money to invest in new means of distribution. They say they will use the money wisely and create jobs for hard working Americans.

Actually ... this is a lot of fun. Francis says that if they are invited to Washington to present their plan, they would be willing to drive across the country in a hybrid vehicle. Francis also says that they would be willing to discuss the idea of the government buying equity stakes in their companies, just like the financial firms. Wow, now there is a way to kill the porn industry .. let the government get involved!

Flint of "Hustler" says, "People are too depressed to be sexually active ... This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex."

The man does make a point.
