By the way . . .
Today is National Doctors Day–a factoid of which I was not aware when I wrote the previous post. With that in mind, let’s hear from a former doctor. Michael Burgess delivered babies in North Texas for thirty years before he decided to run for Congress a few years ago. Dr. Burgess is a good man […]
Et Tu New York Times?
NYT Headline this morning: “Health Law Does Little to Curb Unnecessary Care.” May I offer an eloquent and erudite response to this revelation? Duh. A key driver of unnecessary medical tests, drugs, and care is fear of being sued. And the likelihood of abusive class action suits are built into the high price of every […]
Father-Daughter Road Trip
Female Offspring Unit #3 and I drove down to Austin Friday night so she could participate in a thingy Saturday morning. By Saturday afternoon we were headed back up I-35 toward home. Now I have always endeavored to bring up children who are culturally literate and appreciators of fine art. That’s why I’ve insisted […]

I Won't Be Calming Down Any Time Soon
[WARNING: Freakishly long, screedy post follows. Run. Run like the wind. You’ve been warned.] At the official back-slapping, high-five-ing ceremony at the White House today, VP Joe Biden introduced the Commander-in-Chief and, while, well . . . slapping his back . . . leaned into his ear and said, “This is a big f#$%ing deal.” […]

Here on the 424th day of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Administration, those of us who love this country; treasure liberty; and understand that free market capitalism is the only true engine of prosperity on the planet, have just received our 424th punch in the gut. Actually, tonight was more of a groin kick. Come to think of […]
