Anita Dunn whose idol is the communist Mao Zedong is a chief advisor to Obama .

Sandra Fluke wants all those working poor to pay for her extra curricular activities in the form of birth control. Sandra attends elitist Georgetown law school. She will be in the 1 % when she graduates making $150,000 a year .

All the working poor will have to pay and pay to make sure Sandra Fluke gets all the birth control she needs.

She'll actually be paying for a health insurance policy that will cover it along with other medications, but go ahead with your mendacity.

Default Do you idiots still think this will turn into a PR victory, somehow?

On one side, a female student and self-confessed activist. On the other side, the right-wing smear machine running at maximum power.

And you're still harboring the illusion that if you just drag her name a little bit more through the mud, attack her a little harder, make a few more slurs on her person, fire off a few more lies - that somehow public opinion will turn?

A group of very powerful men are busy bullying a young woman, attacking not just her opinions, but her character - all the while yelling that they've been tricked into doing so. You won't be able to spin that into an honorable thing to do, no matter how hard you try.

The intelligent thing to do would be to simply drop it. Which is why I'm convinced you 'll keep bringing it up, and up, and up.

This was just reported on The Five.
Ever hear of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? Essentially, it's a smaller world analysis of the truths of our relationships to other people throughout the world. For example, in Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, you can link Kevin Bacon to any other actor in six or fewer steps. For example, let's link Whitney Houston's acting to Kevin Bacon:

Whitney Houston was in Waiting to Exhale with Wendell Pierce who was in Beyond All Boundaries with Kevin Bacon.

You can go to this site to mess around with it:

The Oracle of Bacon

There was also a Science Channel documentary (or a channel like it) which tried it in the real world. They gave packages to different people all over the world and they had to send it to a friend who knew someone who knew someone and so on and so forth until they reached a Harvard professor running the experiment.

If I recall correctly, the most interesting one was an African villager who knew of someone who left the tribe to move into an African city. They sent the package to that person who knew someone who went to college in Europe. That person forwarded the package to someone they'd met in school and went on to study at Harvard and that person happened to know the professor. The details are fuzzy and I can't recall the actual links to each person but that was the essential gist of what happened.

Though the theory is, on a mathematical level considered unproven, there are plenty of real world examples to go by which give us a better understanding of the networking of human social behavior. One could probably even draw links of oneself to people like Osama bin Laden.

For example, if you took a college course on Middle Eastern politics, it's possible your professor may have studied at the University of Cairo, which is also where Ayman al-Zawahiri graduated from and who is now the leader of Al-Qaeda and was the number two man behind Osama bin Laden.

What I'm getting at is that network theorems allow us to draw simple links to people but it says very little about the tangible relationships we might have with them. Believe it or not, the network of people within the realm of Public Relations firms is not that large and it's only probable that someone with a link to President Obama would also be involved with a Public Relations firm.

When the media presents us with a link to someone, I am always skeptical because you can virtually draw a link to almost anyone in six or fewer steps. In fact, you could probably still connect yourself to Adolf Hitler if you tried hard enough. You probably have a friend who has a grandfather or aunt or something like that who was in a prison camp. One of the guards they interacted with was a Nazi and that person may have had a commander or general they took orders from who was in contact with Adolf Hitler. And voila! You have now connected yourself to Adolf Hitler in six or fewer steps.

Sandra couldn't afford her birth control. Now she wants it tacked on to her health care because of Obama which will push health care costs up. Even the working poor have to pay for Sandra's medications across the board.

Problem is Obama has no one around him that isn't a radical.. how do you explain that.. Even his pastor .

His poor grandmom was as Obama puts it.. a typical white person.

Six degrees of separation buddy. I'm sure if someone digs hard enough, someone can tie you to Timothy Mcveigh.

Bottom line is, it means squad.

Maybe you should find out what Obamacare is... as Nancy Pelosi said, we don't know what it is yet. We have to pass it to find out.

Private insurance will have to pay for club med next for the depressed. Next Obamacare will take over the nation.

Come on, we all knew this was cooked up in the bowels of the WH and it started with George Stephanopolous' question in that debate that had people scratching their heads.
