In this case I am sure there are so many idiots involved in this massive failure that he will have to revert to the tried [...]

I have to thank a reader of Webloggin for reminding me just how delusional some people are when it comes to believing the crap put out by leftists and worse. About a year ago I wrote a small piece about Maxine Waters who had at the time threatened the CEO of Shell Oil with the [...]

Making Your Option to Purchase Private Insurance Illegal Journalists didn’t get more than 16 pages into 1000+ page House Democrat “Health Care for all Americans” bill before they discovered a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal. Congress: It didn’t take long to run into an “uh-oh” moment when reading the House’s “health care for [...]

I ended up taking a trip to visit my doctor at the hospital where he practices after spending the last couple of days ill in bed. Generally I love to visit my doctor because he is great, intelligent and has relatives in the UK which gives him a unique perspective on the future of the [...]
