Health care interests spent $445 million on federal lobbying in 2007, more than any other sector of the economy. This is the second year in a row that they were the top spenders.
In a more specific breakdown, pharmaceutical and medical products companies rank first with $227 million in spending, while health insurance companies spent the second-most at $138 million. Hospitals and nursing homes spent $91 million, ranking fifth, and health professionals spent $70 million, ranking 15th. HMOs and health services spent $52 million, ranking 19th.
The pharmaceutical industry has spent $1.3 billion on federal lobbying in the last decade, again more than any other industry. And the drug industry's reported lobbying increased by 25 percent from 2006 to 2007.

Bengali bombshell Raima Sen very rarely hit the headlines for her deeds and misdeeds but this time paparazzi caught her in almost unstable situation when she was drunk heavily and lost control over herself in designer Manish Malhotra’s party. She was so heavily drunk that she failed to find her way to her car and fell down at the hotel lobby. Manish played the role of a perfect host; he and his friend guided her and held her till her chauffeur driven car arrived. Due to intake of maximum liquor, Raima failed to keep a balance and fell down. This unceremonious event was captured by a photographer who was present at the occasion. He said, “Raima was wearing a white gown and looked extremely pretty. But she did seem dazed. She was unable to stand on her feet and fell down in the hotel

Prodded by lobbyists for online travel companies and time shares, state lawmakers are quietly crafting a package that could ultimately shield those industries from millions of dollars in taxes every year.The package taking shape in the state Capitol, yet to be presented in public, could effectively short-circuit a protracted court battle between Orange County and Internet giants Expedia Inc. and Orbitz Worldwide Inc. over whether the companies are skipping out on sales and hotel taxes. A number of other Florida counties have sued on similar grounds.The package would also provide a tax shield for time-share exchanges, such as occur when one time-share owner trades a week at his or her Lake Tahoe resort for a week at an Orlando resort.Expedia and the American Resort Development Association,

Look familiar? It's the famous "lobby scene" from The Matrix shamelessly copied by a Bollywood movie called "Awara Pagal Deewana". The part where Neo does the flip is even completely ripped from The Matrix and photoshopped with the Indian actor's face.
This audacious attempt at an adaptation of “The Matrix” is straight out of a Bollywood film entitled “Awara Pagal Deewana”. Expect all of your favorite action sequences of the original in this remake, just a whole lot cheesier and a ton more awkward. Pay close attention to Neo’s impersonator, for when he does the one-handed cartwheel, you can easily see that they just cut and pasted the Indian actors face onto Keanu Reeves. Check the footage after the jump, and I’m curious as to how they got Morpheus looking in this joint? (more…)

The Israel Lobby, Israel’s role in the US occupation of Iraq … and its threats against Iran, they are all carefully explained by John Mearsheimer & Stephen Walt authors of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy in this audiocast from CHIASMOS.
A must listen for anyone interested in the Middle East and what is behind the current conflicts. It is roughly 1′30″, about 50-50 lecture and Q&As.

As if Richard Dawkins wasn't controversial enough, he has now been quoted as saying,When you think about how fantastically successful the Jewish lobby has been, though, in fact, they are less numerous I am told -- religious Jews anyway -- than atheists and [yet they] more or less monopolize American foreign policy as far as many people can see.Not surprisingly, this is quickly becoming a hot topic throughout the blogosphere. The outrage has began, anti-Semitism has been suggested, and I predict Dawkins will be called a Nazi by the middle of next week.Tags: Richard Dawkins, Jewish lobby, America, atheist
Scott D. Clark from Denver goes to St. Paul and stays in an Embassy Suites hotel. Embassy Suites evidently has ducks in their lobby. Nothing says fine accommodations like waterfowl in your lobby.
Anyway, the guy gets loaded (allegedly) and decides top chase one of the ducks around the hotel lobby. After cornering the thing, he grabs it and tears its head off.
As a security guard (obviously wasn’t doing his job) and several guests watched, Clark turns to them and says “I’m hungry. I’m gonna eat it.”
More security guards showed up and held the guy until the police arrived.
I’m going to bet that Clark was up in St. Paul for a convention. Convention attendees do this type of thing, you know.

“You push this bill through that produces a windfall for the drug companies. And then a short time later, you go to work for the drug lobby at a salary of $2 million.

Wow this is frightening. We have all seen the recent fierce anti smoking regulator nannies basically forcing people to give up what is still a perfectly legal past time. Last week smoking was outlawed in bars and night clubs, going hand in hand with it's ban in poker venues. Not to mention cries of "give smokers no medical treatment".
Need I point out that smoking is still legal, like it or not.
Anyway, the point....Tobacco giant Imperial Tobacco Has put the phone number of the quitline (a phone based help to give up smokes) in it's packaging.
If you think thats a good thing, you're wrong. Those Bastards!! They now face legal action apparently.
IMPERIAL Tobacco faces legal action for using the Quitline number on a 40th birthday insert in Escort cigarette packets.
The insert says that, after 40 years, South Australia's No.1 cigarette brand is "still leading the way with a rich blend of Virginia-style tobaccos and a smooth, generous flavour".

House Democrats are suddenly balking at the tough lobbying reforms they touted to voters last fall as a reason for putting them in charge of Congress.Now that they are running things, many Democrats want to keep the big campaign donations and lavish parties that lobbyists put together for them.
That is the opening paragraph from this article. Funny how that works, isn’t it? Now that they are in power they seem to like the perks that they were denouncing a few short months ago.
The situation concerns some Democrats, who note their party campaigned against a “culture of corruption” in 2006, when voters ended a long run of Republican control of Congress.
With all the scandals that they are trying to sweep under the rug( just read my caught in the culture of corruption posts in the archives for more details), it seems as though this might not be a good time to bring light to the reforms that were promised to the voters. If you really believed they would reform the culture

Would you buy a wine labeled "Napa" from China? How about a "Champagne" from California? Wineries from the United States, Europe and Australia are meeting with officials in Washington this week to try to get tougher labeling standards for wine that protects specific geographic designations.The wine world has long given significance to appellations. The belief is that the climate, soil and other growing conditions influence the grapes and that consumers come to expect a certain level of quality from a Bordeaux or a Sonoma wine. The problem is that with fame comes imitators. In some cases the battle has been going on for generations. Champagne has become a universal word for sparkling wine, while Port is generic for a sweet fortified wine. The makers of the original versions of these wines believe they could boost sales if consumers were not misled by labels of producers not from their regions.The U.S. and Europe did sign a deal last year to keep wineries from launching new wines using n

The last edition of the Sunday Herald carried an article investigating the payment by British Nuclear Fuels of £15,050 to a pro-nuclear Trade Union lobby group called Nuklear21. That an employer should directly fund a trade union is peculiar to say the least; that a state-owned company should hand over more than 15 grand of taxpayers' money to a trade union is obscene:
Nuklear21's expense claims were released to the Sunday Herald by BNFL in response to an appeal under the Freedom of Information Act. The company had initially claimed that it did not hold any information about the group's funding.
But this was overturned after a review by BNFL's head of taxation, David Canfield. He said the company's initial attempts to trace documents about Nuklear21 funding were "evidently not sufficient".
All very secretive. A spokesman for Nuklear21:
