I'm Back
26 Mar 2010 2:46 PM
My friends, after three long months I’ve decided to return to the blogosphere. Alas, I’m neither tanned nor well rested. The ever evolving campaign finance laws have kept me burning the midnight oil, and the nightmare that is Obamacare has kept me awake many nights. Out of principle I’ll remain this lovely pallor because I won’t pay a... Read More...

The Private Sector Helps Solve The Government’s Problems
20 Nov 2009 11:35 AM
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly...

George Will on Constitutionality of Health Care Reform
19 Nov 2009 11:59 AM
Every so often George Will writes something that really strikes a chord. (Not that he isn't usually clever and insightful.) Will has written an excellent piece on whether the proposed health care legislation in Congress would pass constitutional muster. Will looks at the cases of Gonzales v. Oregon (case involving Oregon's "right to die" statute... Read More...

Nancy Pelosi has a Christmas Present for You
16 Nov 2009 8:59 AM
My favorite holiday movie is A Christmas Story . It's the story of young Ralphie Parker and his dream of awaking Christmas morning to find "an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time." Like a young Nick Naylor he lobbies his parents, his teacher and even Santa... Read More...

I Have a Lot of Respect for Representative King
11 Nov 2009 9:39 AM
Remember last Saturday Representative Steve King held a Healthcare House Call to encourage his colleagues to "Kill the Bill"? At the time, I didn't realize he was missing his son's wedding in order to stand up for what he believes. Here's to you Representative King, and best wishes to Mick and Stephanie.

Beam Me Up – Maybe James Traficant Has the Healthcare Solution
9 Nov 2009 5:06 PM
Pelosi-Care passed the House. I'm sure you've already checked out the RNLA paper on Healthcare Reform. SEIU is lobbying heavy for passage in the Senate, and ACORN has to sit this one out while they wrangle with their latest scandal. Who can save the day? How about former Congressman James "Beam Me Up" Traficant? I wonder why he's holding... Read More...

ACORN Would Love to Be Part of This Fight
9 Nov 2009 8:12 AM
Pelosi-Care has passed the House. As much as those words should scare you, the game isn't over yet. All but one Republican voted against the Bill. The Republicans lead rallies, protests, brought in Jon Voight and John Ratzenberger. Representatives Bachmann and King really lead the charge. The public spoke up, but the Democrats in power continued to move the... Read More...
