Dear Friends, There is a little hot dog stand near my office that I don’t visit too often because the Polish Dogs are soooo good, but they are so unhealthy. The other day when I stopped by, something triggered a discussion about the current millieux we find ourselves in. I started by using an illustration that [...]

The Illogic Of The Left…
Dear Friends, Michael Savage stated, "Liberalism is a mental disorder". I have since substituted "Leftism" for "Liberalism" since the leftists keep moving the label target. But I digress… At issue here is to accurately portray in as few words as possible the mental problems of the loony utopian left. I do this with a quite [...]
Intellectuals Versus Intellectualism
Dear Friends, The constant accusation from the left that conservatives are morons, anti-intellectual, and anti-science is a bit tiresome. The reality is they should look in the mirror and they would find this is simply a reflection of their own short-comings. This is often the case when one entity criticizes another. I chalk it up [...]
To Pass Or Not To Pass, That Is The Question…
Dear Friends, We certainly do live in “nuanced” times. I had some communications with two PhD’s on opposite ends of the globe. Both had served as instructors during their careers. The not-so-hypothetical situation posed was… A university class was given a test (pop quiz, mid-term, final, whatever). The best student (s) in the class only [...]
The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory – H1N1
Dear Friends, It looks like Washington is creating another crisis to enable them to grab more power and influence over our lives. I spoke to my health insurance company’s on-staff nurse about being forced to take H1N1 vaccine in the future. She so much as confirmed that being a possibility. Great! Since I get sick [...]
The Beat Goes On…
Dear Friends, Somehow I got on a time-pay scheme for money owed to the Franchise Tax Board. What a bureaucratic nightmare even at the state (CA) level. It took over three weeks for them to cash my check. It will take another 45 days for the amount to register on their ledger. The reason it [...]
More On Obamacare…
Dear Friends, At the end of this e-mail is a White House e-mail that was previously forwarded. Just below is a response to the person that originally sent me that e-mail from HIS list. I think it is a very good summary. Based on the current politics in Washington, we have concluded that taking the [...]
Health Care
Dear Friends, I’ve attached a comparison of various health systems around the world for your information. Obviously, it is agenda driven, and it is very short on how the various systems are TRULY paid for other than saying it is paid for through taxes, but conveniently stops there. Most systems are subsidized with little ability [...]
Irony At Its Best
Dear Friends, Did you take note that the UAW wants to sell its 55% share of Chrysler? Think about it. THEY KNOW that their burden on automobile manufacturing profits will make that share worthless. Their solution? Get what they can for the stock and move the healthcare burden over to the public sector by strong [...]
Book Review – Islamofacism
Dear Friends, I just finished reading the book by Brigitte Gabriel “They Must Be Stopped”. Previously I’d commented on her other book, “Because They Hate”. This last book really lays it on the line how through P.C. methods and using our freedoms against us, we are slowly succumbing to the power of Islam. One example [...]
