We have two interesting health-related news headlines in the last two days.  Here’s the summary: The percentage of people who smoke is up in the last year. Childhood obesity is still on the rise (between the ages of 6 and 19 it has tripled since 1970). And Congress just voted yes on a bill to […]

The following is a letter which I send to my reps.  It is short and to the point and specifically made to not be long and drawn out as that would lessen the chances of it being read.  Check back on this post often as I will make changes as I think of more things […]

Isn’t this bizarro world of ours great?  A new poll shows that 73% of Americans want something done about illegal immigration (see link below).  The gubmint does nothing about it.  The majority of us didn’t want the stimulus packages passed, they go right through.  The majority of us don’t want these BS healthcare “reform” deals […]

I guess that’s what BO’s people have been telling him.  Afterall, here we have yet another instance where he shows no change.  Look at what’s going on with Afghanistan.  Once again, the leaders of our armed forces (the ones who should be making the decision) are saying that they need more troops but the suits are […]

See, it’s coming together as they all have planned all along, my friends.  And when I say all, I mean all.  Both sides, not just the right as the left wants you to believe.  We have Iran boxed in on the left and the right, we’re just looking for reason to tighten the wrench.  It’s been […]

We loaned GM $50 billion to avoid bankruptcy.  For you politicos out there, just for clarification, what that sentence means is 1) GM is supposed to repay the money as it is a loan and 2) it was loaned to GM in order to avoid bankruptcy.  As I, and probably a great number of us, predicted (except apparently the politicos), GM […]

The most obvious, we cannot afford it.  Over the next decade, our deficit is 9 trillion dollars. We have a shortage of primary care physicians already, what happens when you dump 40 million more patients into the system?  Hint – nothing good. Health care is not a right. Corruption is rampant in the US government at […]

Well, PrezBO, America may finally be done with the honeymoon, maybe.  Your latest approval rating is at 54 percent, dropping 7 points in the last month.  America may be awakening, huh?  I certainly hope so.  It’s been six months now, I do believe that it is time for you to start taking some responsibility now.  […]

There are now 15 states with unemployment above 10% and the national average continues to rise, now at 9.5%.  So much for keeping unemployment capped at 8.5% or whatever was promised.  Can we now stop dumping our hard earned money into this fire pit?  Enough talk of a second Obama stimulus.  None of these stimulus […]

I know that your sarcasm meter just went off the charts. Goldman Sachs just blew away profit expectations.  I am sure that they are thanking their ol’ buddy Hank.  His stimulus has worked just as intended (i.e. to bail out his ol’ buddies with others’ money, which of course is not how he sold his […]
