Blue-Marble-ish posts on our other blogs, for your Wednesday morning reading pleasure:

Obama not following doctor’s orders? Obama’s GP thinks the president is wrong about healthcare.

O’Reilly: oh, really? Bill O’Reilly thinks Americans don’t live as long as Canadians because “we have ten times as many people as you do. That translates to ten times as many accidents, crimes, down the line.” Really.

Cash for kidneys: The case for paying people to donate organs might be logical, but Kevin Drum isn’t convinced.

Blue Dogs won’t budge: Lawmakers who oppose a public healthcare option often represent the very districts that would benefit most from such a plan.

What’s independent journalism worth to you?

Our news will always be free to read, watch, and listen to online. But what is its value?

Unbiased reporting on the issues that billionaire-owned newsrooms won’t touch. Fearless research into the dark corners of government and corporations. Ferociously fact-checked news that focuses on the facts, and the facts alone.

It IS free for you and every reader, viewer, and listener to utilize. But it’s not free for our team to make. So, what’s it worth to you? Let us know by making a donation: Make a one-time donation today to support this work. Or make a monthly sustaining donation to help us plan for the future.

Whatever you choose, know that you’re supporting more independent, investigative journalism in a time when we need it most.
