Why Universal Healthcare Is A Bad Idea
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 […]

Maybe Awakening But Still Groggy
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. […]

What More Evidence Does One Need?
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 […]

Stimulus Is Working As Intended
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 […]

The Meaning Behind L/L/L
The subtitle of this blog is “Look. Listen. Learn.” This by no means suggests that the reader should look at me, listen to me or learn from me. I’m not out to teach anyone *%&! unless they ask me to do so. It means look and listen around you and learn from what you see […]

Palin
OK, so you’re not running for re-election for Governor of Alaska. Just tell me that you’re not planning on running for prez in 2012. For the sake of your family and yourself, please tell me that’s not your intention. So few people take you seriously after your VP run. I am not saying that you […]

What’s With The New Vocal Style?
The one where the singer sounds like he ate a five pound burrito with too much processed cheese, hasn’t had any fiber for a week and is singing from the toilet? You know, the Nickelback/Theory Of A Dead Man sound. I address them as a single entity as it must be the same lead singer, […]

Out Of Control Spelling
I propose that we clean up our act a little on the fad that we have going on where we purposely do things like use a “z” instead of an “s” (e.g. Petz instead of Pets) in our everyday spelling. I say we don’t do it when it’s for a product, movie, etc. where the […]

You're Going To Bailout Everyone
California wants the federal government (i.e. you) to bail them out. They are trying to spin it to make it not sound like a bailout, of course, but most of us are wise enough to know the truth. If this were to happen, is not the end effect taxation without representation for anyone that does […]

As The Giant Falls
So GM has filed Chapter 11. We gave them billions, they filed anyway (which most sane people knew they would), and now they want billions more after filing. Certainly they will get it, and eventually they will be a mere shadow of what they were – if around at all. How often in business or […]
