Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m fortunate (for at least one more year) because we get our Kaiser health insurance through my husband’s employer. I like Kaiser and can highly recommend it for those of you who are searching for new insurance options in Norther California. But I’m not writing this to shill for Kaiser.
Continue readingBecause California’s “Covered California” exchange seemed to get off to a good(ish) start, my Leftist friends on Facebook have been boasting that it proves that, if more states had agreed to have their own exchanges, the federal Obamacare exchange would have been a non-issue. To which I now say “Not
Continue readingRemember back in 1980 when something happened in Poland that seemed little but had enormous consequences? That was the year that Lech Walesa started to lead the Gdansk shipyard workers. Their trade union eventually led in a straight line to the Soviet Union’s downfall. From a trade union, those shipyard
Continue readingRich Lowry wrote such a good post about Obama’s efforts to escape from Obamacare that I’m hard put to find a single paragraph to pique your interest. Everything is pique-y. After much thought, though, I offer this snippet to entice you to read the whole thing: In the great tradition
Continue readingI 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
Continue readingSorry for the blog silence this morning, but I’ve been out and about. One of my stops was at our local Kaiser Optical Center in San Rafael. The glasses store was emblazoned with signs telling customers that they needed to be patient because the computer system had been upgraded. The
Continue readingI knew she was smart, but I had no idea my friend Sally Zeliskovsky could sing so well. Put those two things together (great lyrics and a beautiful voice) and you’ve got yourself a new political Christmas classic:
Continue readingRahm Emanuel famous said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” As of today, Avik Roy explains that the Obama administration is facing a serious crisis when it comes to Obamacare: It’s hard to come up with new ways to describe the Obama administration’s improvisational approach to
Continue readingRoger 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
Continue readingI linked obliquely to this video yesterday, but as the Phil Robertson matter heats up, I want to include the following Obamacare video here, with its focus on getting gay men to sign up. Please be warned that the video is vaguely NSFW. There’s no bad language, nudity, or sex,
Continue readingStella Paul notes something I haven’t seen discussed elsewhere when it comes to Obamacare: the devastating effect it will have on people who travel or divide their time between two locations. The new policies are narrowly locked into local care providers. But people aren’t always in the same locality. Both
Continue readingI seldom quote Peggy Noonan here because I think she’s usually a day late and a dollar short when it comes to discussing the current administration. It seems that, just as Baa-baa Waw-waw did, she drank deep of the Obama Kool-Aid. Noonan is an inside the Beltway gal and, just
Continue readingMy husband was working on a Word document that needed to have paragraphs and subparagraphs numbered. As I’m sure you know, if you start inserting paragraph numbers without creating distinct styles, Word takes on a life of its own, and starts generating multiple styles. Eventually, every paragraph in my husband’s
Continue readingI’ve been trolling through my old posts with the idea of putting out another Kindle book, and I’m impressed by the number of my past posts that either predicted today’s political problems or explain them. As always, I’m not boasting about my exceptional perspicacity. All of us knew what was
