The Fundamental Issue for America

3 August 2010 in 2010, capitalism, healthcare

The Drudge Report headline yesterday in red and all caps “SHOCK VIDEO: DEM CONGRESSMAN BRAGS: ‘FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN DO MOST ANYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY’…”
If you’re inclined to get your week off on the wrong foot, you had no choice but to watch – knowing it would infuriate you.
But what Drudge highlighted wasn’t what that clip [...]

Alright, We Got a Situation

28 July 2010 in Western Civilization - it was one heck of a run, ass clowns, culture & entertainment, foreign affairs, publick skools

Jersey Shore – Season Two Premiere at 10pm EST Thursday night on MTV. Season One marathon leading up to it begins at 1pm EST. I’ve had this date circled for a month.
I’m predicting a 5.5 rating or higher.
This season Vinny is going to vault himself to be as valuable as cast members Snooki, Situation, Pauly [...]

From the Front Lines of the Health Care Mess

4 June 2010 in Atlas is shrugging, capitalism, healthcare

There is a provision within the recently passed Health Care Bill that mandates all employer-funded insurance plans allow dependents of employees to be offered coverage up to age 26.
I was recently on the phone with an account manager for a NY-based HMO. HMOs in New York are community-rated. This means they must take on any [...]

Crony Socialism – It’s Greek to Me

11 May 2010 in Atlas is shrugging, Western Civilization - it was one heck of a run, capitalism, conservatism, foreign affairs, healthcare, nanny statism

So you’re done with all these surgeries right?
Well, I might want to get my boobs done again. I want them to be bigger. I want them to be H – for Heidi.

We Don’t Have a lot of Time on This Earth. We Weren’t Meant to Spend It This Way.

3 May 2010 in 2010, Western Civilization - it was one heck of a run, capitalism, healthcare, nanny statism, public policy

“I’ll tell you what the hard part is – is to stop thinking like a goddamn slave. You say the Nazis in Europe ‘If they came to my door…’ yeah, well bullshit. The time is now. What are you gonna do now? Some guy pissing in your face; c*cksucker, wants to break your rice bowl.
“Mitch, [...]

Who’s to Blame for the Health Care Bill

9 April 2010 in GOP, R.I.P., US House, Western Civilization - it was one heck of a run, healthcare, immigration, nanny statism, quid pro quo

As promised in Wednesday’s article, this is pretty much in order of who is to blame for the nation-altering health care reform that was passed.
Republicans – These clowns had Congress and the Presidency for 6 years as health care costs were getting out of control, increasing at double and triple the rate of inflation. Where was the idea [...]

America After the Demon Pass

7 April 2010 in Atlas is shrugging, GOP, R.I.P., Western Civilization - it was one heck of a run, capitalism, conservatism, healthcare, nanny statism, taxes

“It’s not the real cemetery…” - Pet Sematary by Stephen King
What else is there to say?
Anything?
Simply put: the health care reform bill is the biggest loss for conservatism in decades. And it looks like it’s irreversible.
The nation you were in as March began and the nation you live in now are completely different countries. I was [...]

Do You Have a Question For Mitt Romney?

2 March 2010 in miscellany

I’ll try and ask him when I see him tomorrow.

The Second Online Petition I’ve Signed

5 February 2010 in The worst system (except for all the others)

The first of course was Glenn Beck’s 912 Coalit… HAHA! Just kidding.
Most online petitions are idiotic because they can be easily gamed and the causes they typically espouse are, well, idiotic.
The only online petition I’ve ever signed was far more important than anything Glenn Beck whines about. And that was a petition to bring back Headbanger’s Ball [...]

The Truth v. Machine “Scott Brown for Senate” Post

12 January 2010 in 2010, Atlas is shrugging, Western Civilization - it was one heck of a run, campaign finances, healthcare, miscellany

When the time comes to make a last ditch attempt to halt passage of legislation that will forever alter the financial destiny of this nation, how can you send anyone but this guy?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And you thought Sarah Palin was the sexiest politician out there.
I can’t believe these are the clowns we need to depend on.
Anyway, it [...]

So Now It’s Romney vs. Palin, Pawlenty, Jindal, Daniels, Barbour, et al.

30 November 2009 in Jesus, save me from your followers!, Palin, Pawlenty, ass clowns, church and state, elections

There might be a few others in the mix, but Mitt Romney’s now the frontrunner for 2012 with Mike Huckabee out of the way. And for that reason it looks like there is indeed the possibility of two very young governors – Tim Pawlenty and Sarah Palin – to try and mobilize now instead of [...]

Philalawyer Paperback is Out

30 October 2009 in capitalism, culture & entertainment, reviews

This Halloween weekend will no doubt lead to all sorts of musings from us “grown ups” about our past as we watch our or our neighbors’ children. Maybe memories will be brought back when we dress up ourselves as a weekend escape unique to the other 51 this year. There’s an author who shares these [...]

How is This Not $14 Billion of Vote Buying?

27 October 2009 in capitalism, nanny statism, quid pro quo

We all know Obama is a lefty – both politically and physically. And while everyone is distracted by the healthcare debate, the elections next week, the World Series, NFL, and Halloween weekend there is a need to look at what Obama’s other hand is doing.
What he’s doing is putting in motion a plan to send [...]

Charles in Charge

14 October 2009 in The face of the Left, Western Civilization - it was one heck of a run, capitalism, conservatism, foreign affairs, healthcare, history, nanny statism, public policy

Everything from Charles Krauthammer is a must-read, but he just produced something special. He states the far-reaching ramifications of nearly all of the well-intentioned Obama policies.
Here is the video and here is the adapted transcript.
For those short on time, you can read just the second half.
