By Wink One thing that everybody seems to agree on is that we need universal health care in America. All Americans should have health coverage. Nobody should lose their house because they got sick. We all agree, right? Right? Okay, good. Now we can get on to a problem that really needs to be addressed. [...]
By Cessna Are insurance companies worried about the health care bill? (Hint: Their stock prices are rising) Under the Senate plan, millions of Americans will be forced into private insurance company plans, which will be subsidized by taxpayers. This will do little to reform health care but will be a windfall for insurance companies. The [...]
By Wink This health care debate sure brings out the ‘wuss’ in some politicians. If you hate it, just say you hate it. Say “Everybody should be responsible for their own d*** health insurance”. Say “Like all things in life, the ability to get health insurance is a matter of survival of the fittest” (if [...]
By Wink In my September 1, 2009 article I made a perfectly rational argument that members of the U. S. House of Representatives are morons, compared to those who reside in the Senate. I would like to update you on that, and let you know that I was mistaken, and the House members have really [...]
By Wink In my August 28 article I mentioned (in passing) that the IQ of the average U.S. Congressman is 20+ points lower than that of the average U.S. Senator. My opinion on this has not changed, although I constantly wonder if I am being too generous to the Congressmen. Another case in point….. Kansas [...]
by Kasson To few surprises, the national debate has moved past Obama’a birth certificate, and the Gates incident. To where it probably belongs, health care. Since our politicians spend all of their time arguing debating, they might as well do it on something worth while. My problem with the debate is that it is not [...]
By Kasson As you have probably heard by now, Arlen Specter, the longtime Pennsylvania Republican has switched to the Democratic Party. He states that the switch is due to the shift of the Republican party to be more conservative. This is entirely true, and probably the ultimate reason of him switching. Once Al Franken is [...]
Monty Python once did a skit titled “The Argument Clinic.” In it a man approaches the counter of a business to request an argument. He is told that a specific argument counselor is in today, “but is feeling a bit conciliatory.” Well that is the way we feel today. By the time this blog began [...]
The Republican Party likes to think of itself as the staunch defenders of all that is right with America. They are standing strong as defenders of liberty and morality, and all that is just. There is only one thing wrong with this. They do not stand strong. They have no spine. Three Republican leaders, in [...]
One would think that a 365 to 173 butt kicking in the electoral college (which democrats have hated for a long time) would show republicans the big picture. One would think that an 18 seat deficit in the Senate would show republicans the big picture. One would think that a 78 seat deficit in the [...]
