Obama continues his assault on health care.

Rahm Emanuel is an idiot and a bigot. "Obesity" isn't a matter of eating too much or exercising too little--most of it is genetic or is a result of an underlying disease such as hypothryoidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, or diabetes.
"Dieting" is a failure because it goes against nature and doesn't address possible other causes for weight gain and fluid retention.
Singling out people to penalize them is discriminatory and ignorant. Washoe County School District had one of those stupid "wellness" programs in there. I doubt they saved any kind of money; they just simply fired people when they used FMLA.

In all of the years I lived in Reno, I never had any desire to go to its signature event, the National Air Races. I always went to the balloon races, but not the air races.
There was a horrible tragedy there this afternoon:
A spokesman describes the scene as a "mass casualty situation." link
At least 3 are dead, including the 80-year-old pilot, with at least 75 injured, and of those, 25 are critical.

Marshall Carter was working on some fuel tanks nearby said he saw the plane pull up, "and it looked like he had major mechanical malfunction, like the controls failed."
Carter said the plane was about 100 feet off the ground and was rolling over at that point. It appeared he purposely pulled back on the stick so the plane went into the ground, instead of the stands, saving hundreds of lives.
Greg Erny, 57, who was sitting in the VIP section, said the plane disintegrated as its pieces flew into the crowd.
"It was the most sickening thing I've ever seen just watching the plane, there was no plane left," he said.
Michael Haughton, the president and CEO of the National Championship Air Races, said the rest of the event is canceled.
Leeward was 74, not 80 as earlier reported. The latest report says 54 were injured.
