The End of Healthcare As We Know It (or, at all)

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

If the Left has its way, many or most of the recent advances in medicine will be destroyed. Hype? I’d like to think so, but I’m probably understating it. More likely, our healthcare system will be utterly destroyed, turned into something more akin to the DMV or–horrors of horrors–the Canadian or British healthcare systems. Read [...]

Obama to Suck Up to Islam

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

An interesting juxtaposition (in bold): President-elect Barack Obama says he will try to “reboot America’s image” among the world’s Muslims and will follow tradition by using his entire name — Barack Hussein Obama — in his swearing-in ceremony. [Emphasis added.] The U.S. image globally has taken a deep hit during President George W. Bush’s two [...]

They rotated driving duties, ate at [...]

Former Communist Butchers in Vogue in Seattle, New York, San Francisco

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

My wife, who grew up in the Soviet Union, would find this disturbing: New York City, it seems,  wants to be second to none in public memorials to Communist tyrants. After all, Seattle has a statue of Lenin adorning its waterfront, and San Francisco has a statue and plaque honoring the veterans of the Abraham [...]

What, exactly, does Hillary Clinton consider to be the “greatest adventure of our century,” and isn’t it a little scary, in general, that she considers a stint as Secretary of State an “adventure”? Sen. Hillary Clinton decided to join her one-time rival’s team because she wanted to be part of the “greatest adventure of our [...]
