Obama's ignorance during his healthcare press conference and town halls more than cancels Palin's bad interviews

When I was watching Obama’s July 22 press conference in which he clumsily tried to sell his healthcare reform legislation, I was astonished at how much he revealed that he is — what’s a nice way of saying this? — intellectually uncurious, uninformed, misinformed and lazy. And that was before he announced he knew nothing …

Australian quadriplegic granted right to die, but I think he was driven to this decision

My late life partner, Margaret Ardussi, before we met, was a champion swimmer, ballet dancer, hiker and mountain climber. However, she could only limp a couple of blocks when I met her and became paralyzed from the chest down due to her MS in April 1992. Within a couple of years she lost most of …

I gather now that the …

Camille Paglia teeters on the verge of a clue about Obama

First I saw Kathy Shaidle’s gleeful quotes of Camille Paglia’s post today at Salon, then Ed Morrissey’s at Hot Air. Even in that company, I have something important to add, which is the explanation for Obama’s contradictions and failings that is eluding Prof. Paglia. Here it is, short and sweet: Obama is a sociopath intent …

White House assistant press secretary Bill Burton confirmed this morning in an interview with Megyn Kelly of Fox News that the White House started its snitch program for the purposes of intimidating opponents to ObamaCare and collecting their e-mail addresses to bombard them with re-education e-mails until they beg for mercy and bow to Obama’s …

I arrived about 7:10 pm for the ObamaCare Town Hall meeting with Maryland Senator Ben Cardin (D) at Towson State University in Towson, Maryland. The hall was full and the university security officers ordered a dozen or so of us to leave in order to clear the lobby. I had arrived from the back of …
