I have not visited her bathroom. I suspect, however, Rose Ann De Moro shaves her face as often as her father did. If she isn’t the toughest broad in the land, she will spit out the naïve woman who dared to challenge her. Her fulltime job is anger. In the unlikely event any gentleman would be desperate enough to ask out this she-man, he would be advised to arrive at her digs with a whip, a loaded gun and two starving Dobermen. She hates men even more than she dreads Republicans, so bring a cage, too.
If you are going to admit your indiscretion to your family, don’t let them know that Ms. Hatchetface warmed up for her present assignment by serving as Teamsters organizer. You remember what happened to our country the last time we elected an organizer to the White House.
When “Man up” became a hot catch phrase during the recent mid-terms campaign, the last Rose of summer bellowed out “Me, too.”
Were it not for her unadulterated meanness, this militant 56-year-old smokestack would be a joke.
She could depress God.
A distinctly unlikable woman, she is executive director of the California Nurses Assn./National Nurses Organizing Committee, and she has tripled membership in her union that rivals the SEIU for old-fashioned, Mafia-level thuggery and corruption.
If she owns a frilly dress, I will make a sizable donation to her favorite charity, which probably is her bank account. This latter-day Nurse Ratched will make you wish you were watching “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” instead of living it.
Stoneface is in the news at Thanksgiving because the San Francisco Chronicle, as proudly left as any daily in the country, learned yesterday that this militant marauder’s gang of man-hating hatchetgirls was the rat at the bottom of the Nick Diaz-Gloria Allred scandal that murdered Meg Whitman’s gubernatorial campaign (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/11/23/MN151GFQK1.DTL)
The largest newspaper west of Chicago, the ever-vigilant Los Angeles Titanic, hopes to rush this fascinating news to its readers after Chanukah but before Christmas.
How the law-flaunting illegal alien — isn’t all of that superfluous? — floated into the unloving arms of Nurse Ratched makes a fascinating story, as the Chronicle chronicles it.
Meanwhile, here is a sample of fire-breathing Rose Ann De Moro’s rantings gleaned from the Huffington Post:
Memo to the politicians – cutting corporate taxes won't create jobs
Posted October 29, 2010 | 04:43 PM (EST)
To listen to the rhetoric that has stained so much of the 2010 campaign season, you'd think the biggest problems facing our nation are excessive government spending, workers' pensions, and inadequate tax breaks for corporations and wealthy Americans. But countering this conventional wisdom, seldom questioned by most of the press,…

California's Nurses and Women Take on Billionaire CEO Meg Whitman
Posted July 22, 2010 | 07:24 PM (EST)
For some who take our most basic rights for granted, it may be hard to imagine that for nearly 150 years in our republic, American women were denied the right to vote. After decades of struggle, that included protest marches, arrests, physical attacks, verbal abuse, harassment and retaliation…
Diary of a Wimpy Health Care Bill
Posted March 23, 2010 | 08:07 PM (EST)
Passage of President Obama's healthcare bill proves that Congress can enact comprehensive social legislation in the face of virulent rightwing opposition.

An Inglorious End to the Promise of Reform
Posted December 22, 2009 | 03:31 PM (EST)
After all the fanfare and high expectations that accompanied the prospect of national health care reform at the outset of this year, the legislation is staggering to a particularly inglorious end. At its heart, the single biggest weakness of the bill rapidly advancing in the Senate, which mirrors the central…
Go Ahead, Tax those Benefits, It's Central to the Health Plan
Posted July 2, 2009 | 10:21 AM (EST)
Enough already on the hand wringing over the plan to start taxing employee health care benefits. The tax is not a threat to the type of reform plan expected to emerge from Congress. It's a central element — to pay for the massive public bailout of the health insurance industry…

The Mitch Who Stole Christmas
Posted December 19, 2008 | 12:41 PM (EST)
Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell deserves a new nickname, The Mitch Who Stole Christmas, for his mean-spirited attack on union auto workers. The cynical ploy by McConnell and a number of his GOP colleagues to hold working people hostage to their political agenda of vilifying unions is a…
Hockey Mom or Neiman Marxist?
Posted October 29, 2008 | 12:38 PM (EST)
The secret is out. There is a Marxist in the Presidential race. She's just not on the Democratic ticket. The real Marxist is in the McCain camp, the Neiman Marxist adorned in that fetching $150,000 wardrobe. Contrast that with say, Geri the nurse who can be outfitted in scrubs…
If We Can Nationalize Banks, Why Not Health Care?
Posted October 10, 2008 | 12:52 PM (EST)
On the heels of reports Thursday that the Bush Administration is considering taking part ownership of U.S. banks, it's time to ask, why can't we have a similar approach for our collapsing healthcare system. Clearly, the proposal to partially nationalize some banks comes as our financial system continues to plunge…
The Heels Are on and the Gloves Are Off
Posted October 6, 2008 | 12:40 PM (EST)
Now that she has passed the debate test, deemed a winner of sorts by the pundits because she managed to get through the night without falling off the stage or starting to speak in tongues, Sarah Palin has been unleashed to do her original job. Freed from the annoyance, as…
McCain-Palin? 10 Reasons to Count Me Out
Posted September 18, 2008 | 08:15 PM (EST)
For advocates of improvements in health care, retirement security, and such fairness issues as pay equity, there's a lot at stake in the November election. Amidst the worst economic crisis in this nation since the 1930s, the prospect of a John McCain-Sarah Palin administration hardly offers much confidence for…
Why is Health Care for America Now Giving Up on Real Reform?
Posted July 10, 2008 | 11:52 AM (EST)
The big splash of news and internet coverage for the new Health Care for America Now coalition of labor, progressive and liberal groups is a reminder of the critical importance of health care reform. And a reminder that partial solutions, such as those proposed by the coalition, will only perpetuate,…
A Gold Rush Town That Symbolizes our Health Care Crisis
Posted June 10, 2008 | 09:33 PM (EST)
The small Gold Rush town of Magalia in the shadows of the Sierra Nevada mountains just north of Paradise, Ca. might not be the first place you'd think of to look at what's so very wrong with our health care system.
But Magalia is a…
John McCain's Health Plan – Don't Get Sick in America
Posted March 11, 2008 | 07:01 PM (EST)
With all the fireworks over health care in the Democratic primaries, John McCain has managed to stay under the radar on our national healthcare nightmare. McCain's health care views should be considered in the context of the tanking economy. Household mortgage and consumer debt now add…
The New Bailout: Individual Health Insurance Mandates and Greater Personal Debt
Posted February 8, 2008 | 11:43 AM (EST)

Ten Lessons for the Candidates from the California Healthcare Fiasco

Arnold Schwarzenegger's much ballyhooed healthcare bill. Despite a year of fawning…
Add Insurance Industry to the Iowa Loss Column
Posted January 4, 2008 | 07:37 PM (EST)
As the scorecard in Iowa is tallied, add insurance companies to the loser camp along with the disgraceful, rhetorical sham that forcing individuals to buy insurance is universal healthcare. Individual mandate, the policy wonk lingo for requiring the uninsured to purchase private insurance premiums, was the key talking point of…
California's Christmas Gift to the Big Insurers
Posted December 18, 2007 | 09:36 PM (EST)
Christmas came one week early for California insurers Monday.

If Dick Cheney Were Anyone Else, He'd Probably Be Dead By Now
Posted December 11, 2007 | 05:28 PM (EST)
If Dick Cheney were anyone else, he'd probably be dead by now. That's the headline of an ad we – the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee – ran in ten Iowa newspapers this week. Imagine if you had the Vice President's health history. Four heart attacks, quadruple bypass surgery,…
