Do Cry for Us. Argentina!
My preferred comparison models for what Obama-Pelosi-Reid are doing to this country have been Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and, most horrifying of all, California. But Richard Rahn makes a strong case for Argentina. Check it out.

We interrupt this deafening silence . . .
. . . to bring you a lame excuse. Dear readers, I’m in the final few days of working on the first draft of the new book. Thus the utter neglect of the blog the last few weeks. I’ll resume blathering with feckless abandon in a few days. (wondering . . . if someone is […]
New Outpost on the Internets
A long-time friend of blather has launched a new blog focused extensively, though not exlusively, on theology and on issues surrounding militant Islam and the West’s slow surrender to creeping sharia. He’s blogging anonymously due to the controversial nature of some of the subject matter, but I know him to be absurdly smart, well read, […]
Digital Death and Resurrection
So . . . my Macbook died on Easter Sunday. Just up and died. Hard drive failure. I would have taken more time to savor the irony except I was, and am, on a bone crunching book manuscript delivery deadline, so I was busy gnashing my teeth and rending my clothing. On the bright side, […]
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 […]
Okay, just one more ride on my hobby horse of doom . . .
Nancy was Right Thought this post at NRO was worth presenting in full: Nancy Pelosi was correct when she said that we have to pass the health-care-reform bill in order to find out what’s in it. Now that the bill has been safely passed and signed into law, the mainstream press is gradually revealing the […]
Oh, And Another Thing
Forgot to mention this in the update below . . . As I’ve previously reported, Female Offspring Unit #2 will be off to Norman in the fall to start her college adventure, much to the good-natured consternation of my OSU poke readers. Well we got a piece of good news this week. A letter from […]
Okay, Maybe I'll Calm Down a Little
There are a number of things one should never do when angry or agitated. Among them are: Hit the send button on an email. Shave with a straight razor. Defuse an IED Respond to a question from your wife about her thighs. Respond to a question from airport security about your thighs. Write Blog or […]
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.” […]
