Oh, Canada »
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100531/hl_nm/us_health_3 What an incredibly interesting story. Canada – Team Obama’s model of virtuosity and efficiency – has realized that “Free” Health Care is very expensive. In fact, it is so expensive, they are now “taking tough measures to curb healthcare costs...” What is the word I am looking [...]

Chicago, Chicago (Not My Kinda Town) »
http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/04/state-reps-want-to-fight-violence-with-national-guards-help.html In the above referenced article, I found a couple of interesting (insert fancy word for “when stuff doesn’t make sense).

Our English Overlords »
Have you ever seen the movie, “Braveheart” starring Mel Gibson as a Scottish commoner – William Wallace - who becomes disenfranchised (to say the least) with the English occupation of his country? The movie includes a ruthless king and a bunch of weasely Noblemen who take bribes in order to maintain their positions of power...they favored [...]
Chicago Insurance Co. »
The Obamacare health insurance mandate reminds me of a bunch of Chicago gangsters selling protection. I can just envision Obama (Al Capone), Rahm (Frank Nitti), Pelosi (Teets Battaglia), and Reid (Jack Zuta) sitting around a smoke-filled speakeasy planning to provide “protection” to the neighborhood merchants. “We’re gonna provide you [...]
Poland’s 2009 GDP »
I found a headline that made me do a “double-take”: Poland’s GDP Tops European Union in 2009. What? Poland?

(Gross Domestic Product - a basic measure of a country's [...]

In any event, here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc9fsPTyqe8&feature=player_embedded# And yes, Nancy Pelosi is an elitist, [...]
The 7 Liberal Sins »
The downfall of an individual usually coincides with one or a combination of the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. It is my contention that these same sins, when perpetrated by its leaders, can bring down a nation. The current administration along with the Democrat controlled Congress and Senate, and a crash [...]
Cousin Duh »
It looks like Hairy Reed has finally purchased (with YOUR money, not his) enough Senators to support his Health Care Reform package. Since nobody actually knows what is in this bill – even and especially those who support it – I can only wait and see what it looks like; AFTER it is voted into law. So much for Obama’s campaign promise about [...]
Health Insurance Premium Calculator »
I found an interesting tool at: http://healthreform.kff.org/SubsidyCalculator.aspx This web-site allows you to calculate the possible effects of the House vs. the Senate Health Care Reform Bills on your pocketbook. I don't know how accurate it is, but like most government programs, there is absolutely no benefit for me or my family...it is [...]
