The Care’s Lousy, but at Least It’s Expensive

The toughest Family Feud question ever would be “Name a government program that reduces costs,” especially given the rather non-politically invested families that seem to appear as contestants.  Survey says that, for Washington, going broke is when the real squandering starts.  Worst of all, they blame you: your leaders think you can’t spend or save [...]

All Things Being Equal, Many Aren’t Moderates

Swinging up and down completely differs from remaining level.  A boat bouncing severely while riding stormy waves isn’t enjoying what averages out to a smooth journey.  While that’s true in the real world, it’s not so in the rather perverse confines of Washington, D.C., where even physics lessons are commonly ignored.  Within that ignoble swamp, [...]

Why Take a Bite When You Can Try to Swallow the Whole Cake?

If they had played it cool, President Obama and his congressional teammates might be celebrating Democraticare’s passage with a ceremonial ice cream social right now.  But we’re lucky they’ve become insufferably extreme to the point that they think a self-immolating process like reconciliation sounds wise.  Call Nancy Pelosi and beg her to go for it: she’ll [...]

Obama Inspires Us to Ensure He Won’t Win Again

The one good result of the 2008 election is how people are already paying more attention to future elections.  It was easy for casual political followers to get swept with the tide during the last presidential race and applaud while grinning about hope blah change blah.  But numerous people are now choosing to wear defiant [...]

Maybe One Bubba Is Enough

Notorious right-wing reactionary Barack Obama didn’t deliver his State of the Union address in front of a rattlesnake flag, sign noting how tea’d he is, or doctored photo of himself as the Joker.  It would have been a nice touch as he momentarily faked empathy for those who have either turned on him or never [...]

Misdiagnosing the Constitution

Promoting the general welfare is entirely different than generally having most people on welfare.  The word decoding game is no fun, especially when big government geeks are twisting phrases to make it seem like their beliefs are justified.  Specifically, they wring curious meanings out of every single line in the Constitution, as the left’s interpretative [...]

Liberals and Things That Are Not

It’s not that liberals are liars.  It’s more like their claims look to be untruths when measured against what actually happens.  The more charitable description still conveys the casual relationship between their beliefs and results.  The most fervent believer in mythical policies that don’t work is sadly currently President of the United States.  At least [...]

Evil Health Insurers Help Us While Making a Living

The dullest scoundrel in human history is still a scoundrel.  Harry Reid wouldn’t exactly serve as a worthwhile James Bond foil.  Still, he worked as hard as a sluggish bore could to ruin Christmas for all by stuffing through a health care bill hated by conservatives, libertarians, and leftists.  Worst, he’s still limply directing the [...]

Obama Joins the Club, Wishes He Hadn’t Won

This makes no sense.  Barack Obama was supposed to end strife among mankind, cure the piggy flu, and make it so neither chicken wings nor beer contain calories.  But we’re not enjoying a string of White House-initiated miracles.  Instead, the only jobs being created or saved are those of security personnel who will deal with [...]

Not Buying What They’re Forcibly Selling

Laws should be enacted using the Hippocratic Oath as a guide: those who do no harm should be legally in the clear.  But Congress is sadly attempting the inverse.  We currently face a loss of autonomy when it comes to, cruelly, medical decisions.  Making it mandatory to buy something is fundamentally antithetical to our belief [...]
