The Crashys are Bureaucrash's very own awards series. I'm the Crashys Czar so I will post the winners in those three categories weekly and HQ will post a Crasher and Cell of the Month. At the end of the year, we'll narrow the fields down to the final nominees in each category. Then crashers can vote for the annual winners.
If you'd like to explicitely nominate anyone for the weekly honors, please do so as a reply to that week's winner announcement. Or, just keep posting all of the news and opinions that make this site great. I'll be scouring Bureaucrash all week for deserving winners. Here is the schedule:
Monday: Bureaucrat of the Week Tuesday: Bureaucracy of the Week Wednesday: Statist of the Week Thursday: Honorary Crasher of the Week
Plus we'll be announcing the Crasher & Cell of the month at the end of the month!
You believe that the price to be paid by the immigrants of the world is justified by some perceived benefit accruing to someone else — someone else who probably hasn't had to pay any price whatsoever. You must believe that some immigrants simply aren't worth as much as some barely noticeable increase in your standard of living. You justify these deaths, for the greater good, by convincing yourself that they are less-than-human; criminals in-fact. Satisfied that these people are criminals who do not deserve to be treated like human beings with inalienable rights, there is virtually no limit to the injustices you will permit to be carried out agaisnt them, in your name.
Mr. Bah’s relatives never saw the internal records labeled “proprietary information — not for distribution” by the Corrections Corporation of America, which runs the New Jersey detention center for the federal government. The documents detail how he was treated by guards and government employees: shackled and pinned to the floor of the medical unit as he moaned and vomited, then left in a disciplinary cell for more than 13 hours, despite repeated notations that he was unresponsive and intermittently foaming at the mouth.

The United States is caught in a catch-up game when it comes to critical illness sales. Great Britain, Australia, Ireland, Japan and Canada have had much success in the market, "Those socialized medicine countries have been successfully selling it as a 'don't die on a waiting list' type of insurance."
Great Britain, Australia, Ireland, Japan and Canada have had much success in the market, "Those socialized medicine countries have been successfully selling it as a 'don't die on a waiting list' type of insurance."
To be sure, there are a number of reasons why CII hasn't caught on here, including the regulatory environment, but don't you think that at least part of the reason is because there simply isn't a very great danger of dying on the waiting list, in a country where there's practically never (unless you need a kidney or something) a waiting list?
So, socialized insurance requires supplemental insurance so that you don't die because you have the socialized insurance. Sicko, indeed.
Mr. Murtha underscored this point at a breakfast fund-raiser held for him this summer. "This is about jobs," he told hundreds of military contractors and lobbyists at the Johnstown Convention Center.
