I was at the Post Office yesterday to pick up a certified letter. I was there for a little over an hour; there were 40 people in line, 2 clerks helping, and 1 supervisor watching both clerks. All I could think of is that I don't want my appointment with a doctor to golike this. … Continue reading 45% Of Doctors Would Consider Quitting If Congress Passes Health Care Overhaul

Cripple America
My opinion: Obama and his team are in waaaaay over their collective heads. They believe the world is basically good, and because Obama is in control of the White House, the world will warm to them and we will all live together in harmony. Except that's not the world. Putin will outmaneuver the clueless Obama. … Continue reading Cripple America
Tea Party
And so the veil of deceit lifts. The news media, so eager to proclaim Obama as the messiah during the election cycle, now turns on him and begins to devour him. What changed? In one sense, nothing. Obama's promises of socialist changes are progressing. Universal health care, nationalization of manufacturers and banking, imposition of union … Continue reading Tea Party

Ok, so that's a scare title. But not by much.Buried deep in the so-called Stimulus Plan are new government-mandated health-care restrictions. Here are some snippets - The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system.

Categorizing People
I was idly going through the contacts on my handheld PDA the other day while returning from a business trip, and I decided I needed a better system to file people. I have roughly 400 people in my PDA under the following categories: 65 "Business - Home" 130 "Business - Work" 30 "Faith" 150 "Personal" … Continue reading Categorizing People
Free Country! Come and Get It! (ding ding ding)
My country doesn't understand me. Whether you're a liberal or a conservative, this bill should make you suspicious. It was negotiated behind closed doors for 3 months by George Bush and Ted Kennedy. Regardless of your political viewpoint, I know you don't agree with both of those guys. Nobody can. The Senate is poised to … Continue reading Free Country! Come and Get It! (ding ding ding)
Ah, to be more like the rest of the civilized world…..
Hillary is thinking big again. I thought she learned her lesson last time: She also said Democrats would focus on improving the quality and affordability of health care _ a touchy matter for the former first lady, who in 1993 led her husband's calamitous attempt to overhaul the nation's health care system. The failure of … Continue reading Ah, to be more like the rest of the civilized world…..
Immigration Reform on Hold
I'm glad, the US Senate was rushing this through to give us a watered-down feel-good bill that would change nothing. What would the bill do to illegal aliens? - If they were here illegally, they would be in trouble. - Perhaps they would be given a misdemeanor. - Then they would be made US citizens. … Continue reading Immigration Reform on Hold
The Left Hates Inequality
On the surface, that doesn't sound so bad. The Left hates inequality. Nobody need be better or worse than anybody else. Trouble is, enforced equality is socialism, communism. Instead of bringing people up from the bottom, equality is enforced by shackling the achievers. When you see a special tax on oil profits, opposition to school … Continue reading The Left Hates Inequality
Kerry's Stunt Backfires
Despite the best effort of the liberal media (headline reads "Kerry Backer Tries in Vain to Get Protest to Bush"), John Kerry's stunt went over like a lead balloon yesterday. He organized Max Cleland, the disabled ex-Senator, to deliver a letter to President Bush at his Crawford ranch. Of course it was a stunt; he … Continue reading Kerry's Stunt Backfires
Chronicle Having Trouble Praising Kerry
In an unsigned editorial this morning, the Chronicle praises John Kerry's speech last night. Kerry's promises were especially appealing: Whatever shortcomings Kerry's well-crafted speech might have had, it contained no shortage of promises. Fulfilling even one — providing universal and affordable health care — would make Kerry a success where Bill and Hillary Clinton failed. … Continue reading Chronicle Having Trouble Praising Kerry
