Family calls. Working on a post. Back soon. Have fun.

Post-Game Open Thread
I’m a Niners’ fan. Needless to say, I’m disappointed. I’m disappointed with the refs, who I think made bad calls, and I’m disappointed with the Niners’ offense, which wasn’t up to the job. I think Kaepernick is a good quarterback, but this wasn’t his best game. So, have at it….

Yet another dirty little Obamacare secret: For the most part, Obamacare isn’t providing insurance for the uninsured. Instead, it’s forcing the previously insured to buy more expensive insurance than they already had, along with painfully higher deductibles than they were previously paying. Yes, there are definitely people with pre-existing conditions

(I actually wrote this post yesterday, and thought I’d published it. When I looked at my blog just now, though, I saw that it never got out of the draft phase. Still, there’s enough interesting stuff in it that I’ll publish today anyway.) I discovered two things to help with

It turns out that a long-time friend of mine is related by marriage to Matt Axelson, who died during Operation Redwings. As you recall, Marcus Luttrell memorialized Operation Redwings in Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10. A movie based upon

Have at it my friends! My mind is a blank.

Fallow brain this morning. Working on a post, though, so this is kind of a place holder.

Winter break this year was very pleasant. As I may have written before, while I’m not a big fan of small children, I really like teenagers, especially the teenagers my kids bring home. We live in a tight-knit community and my house is often a gathering spot for the kids
Continue readingPaying the bills Open Thread
I’ve put it off long enough. I must pay bills. It’s not a particularly onerous task nowadays, since I do most of it online (fully cognizant of the risks I’m taking, but still giving in to convenience), but I still hate to do. It’s my own fault. Instead of paying

I’m cranking away at a legal brief, so I won’t have time to blog this morning. Please consider this an open thread.
Continue readingTaking my mom to the doctor Open Thread
I’ll be out and about for the next few hours. Please feel free to share anything interesting that’s come your way or that has piqued your interest lately.

I have a legal memo to write, so of course I had to check out all sorts of stuff on the internet first. Here’s a quick run-down. The Left loves to talk about McCarthyism. The Left also loves to practice McCarthyism. John O’Sullivan reminds us that GLAAD’s approach to the

My email inbox produces such wonderful things. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did: I received two articles that are mirror images of each other. The first is an article by Daniel Greenfield, which contains a very good insight about Obama’s magical attraction for the Ivy League

Roger Simon is a little wrong when he talks about A&E’s decision to fire Phil Robertson violating the First Amendment. Only government can violate the First Amendment. Having said that, Simon is right about everything else, insofar as it boils down to this: What we are seeing is the ascendency
