IBD Editorial Board Grants Stephen Hawking US Citizenship

[Stingo]

The inept fools at Investors Business Daily have editorialized against the Obama healthcare plan by fronting the scenario that Obama’s plan is like the British system (it is not) and that a brilliant man such as Stephen Hawking would not survive under such a plan. The catch? Hawking is British and is surviving.

Don't Need To Be a Rocket Scientist

Once you thoroughly unfasten yourself from reality, truly all things are possible.

AJC columnist Jay Bookman noticed that in the latest Investors Business Daily editorial about how the 'death panel' will condemn all handicapped or disabled people to death on some horrid wind-swept mountain, it notes that ...

People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.

Needless to say, Hawking, who is recognized as one of the great theoretical physicists of the 20th and 21st century, was born in the UK and has lived his entire life there.

2. I dropped an LTE on IBD. I wonder if they'll ever correct the

editorial.

3. All they did was issue a correction about

Stephen Hawking's nationality. This was a couple of days ago.

4. Where?

If they posted a correction, it is nowhere near the on-line editorial. Which still remains as another small monument of proud ignorance.

6. Ignorance = Republican

And they are proud of it!

[Union Yes]

5. Hawking should sue IBD.
