Bigger And Better Boondoggles

November 6, 2009

Once upon a time, when I was nineteen years old, I read J.R. Tolkien's 1100-page Lord Of The Rings trilogy in about a week. I only accomplished that because I was in the hospital in traction at the time, and didn't have anything else to do. It was either hobbits or soap operas. I was [...]

Rumors Of GOP Death Greatly Exaggerated

November 4, 2009

When the Republican party scored big gubernatorial wins in New Jersey and Virginia yesterday, emerging victorious in those two blue states that voted for Obama only one short year ago, I couldn't help but think of all the pundits and talking heads who giddily predicted years and years of GOP'ers scrounging for food in the [...]

A Taxing Health Care Plan

November 2, 2009

There's an old political truism that says you don't raise taxes during a recession. The reason is, raising taxes during a recession tends to make the recession worse. They used to call that – economics.
But that was before the Age Of Obama and Pelosi, where economic rules no longer apply. Obama and Pelosi just love [...]

If I Had A Hammer…

October 11, 2009

Let's get the crazy train rolling at high speed right off the bat with this first quote…
“The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists – the Taliban and Hamas this morning – in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize.” – Democratic National Committee communications director Brad Woodhouse (link).
Let me [...]

When In Doubt, Ask A Celebrity

October 2, 2009

When seeking solutions to health care, who better to look to than our own Hollywood celebrities ? These celebrities have become very wealthy in our capitalist system, and they live in big mansions. Who better to speak out against the evils of insurance company profits (average 3.4% profit margin) than super-profitable celebs ? I only [...]

Dumbing Down The Health Care Debate

October 1, 2009

First, we had months of fretting about "death panels" after Sarah Palin used those two words in a Tweet on Twitter (who come up with these silly internet names anyway ? "Google," "Yahoo," "Twitter." "I taut I taw a puddy tat." Do we have any grownups on the web ?). Then we had the dustup [...]

In Their Own Words

September 25, 2009

"For those who question the character and cause of my nation, I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months." – President Barack Hussein Obama, narcissist, addressing the United Nations, September, 2009.
I'm sure glad Barry came along and fixed the character and cause of this nation after 232 [...]

Health Care Hypocrites

September 23, 2009

President Bush tried to cut Medicare spending several times to trim the deficits and offset rising health care costs. Each time, he was vilified by the Democrats, and Democrats voted as a bloc against those cuts, defeating them every time. In 2008, they even overrode a Bush veto to stop Bush from implementing Medicare cuts. [...]

Liberals Continue Their Race Freak-Out

September 17, 2009

I disagree with President Obama on several policy areas – health care reform, government spending, his $9 trillion in projected deficits, the stimulus package, cap and trade, EFCA, to name a few. I attended the 9/12 Tea Party rally to protest these policies.
According to many liberals, that makes me a racist. Even former President [...]

Tort Reform And Race Cards

September 15, 2009

During President Obama's latest health care reform campaign speech before a joint session of Congress, he pretended to throw a bone to Republicans with a weak call for "demonstration projects" on medical tort reform. Rather odd, when you consider such demonstration projects have already been done, and have been done for years.
"Whole states are demonstration [...]

We Don't Have Free Market Health Care

September 10, 2009

One thing I've never been able to understand in the health care reform debate is why the Republican idea to allow health insurance companies to compete on a nationwide basis isn't incorporated into the health care reform bill(s). President Obama stresses competition as the primary reason for the public option, but every thinking person knows [...]

Click Your Heels Together Three Times And Say 'The Stimulus Is Working'

September 8, 2009

“Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.” – Senator Barack Obama, in a 2006 floor speech preceding a Senate vote to extend the federal debt limit.
Ah, how I liked THAT Barack Obama back in 2006, [...]
