Michael Jackson died of a sleep disorder

Thanks to Little Miss Attila, I just read the New York Times story from 8/24/09 based on information obtained in Texas from court documents regarding the investigation into the death of Michael Jackson on June 25. The documents name the cause of death as the anesthetic propofol, which should never be used outside of a …

I have to think about death, now

I love writing posts for this blog but I have to concentrate the next week on writing my book on end-of-life care choices and doing some other chores. I’ve tried balancing both, but I enjoy this so much that I have neglected the other work. I hope my regular readers will amuse themselves in the …

Obama's tanking, so expect a lie about Gov. Palin in 3, 2, 1 …

The Obama playbook calls for a big media distraction from stories about his tanking popularity and cries of outrage with his performance now emanating from the Left, of all places — see here, here and here.

Republican candidate in Virginia supports homosexual equality

Over the last year I’ve started to see the Democratic party as an organization that makes promises to idealistic people that it doesn’t intend to keep in order to get their support. Now I’m not surprised that I couldn’t cash in any Democrat/liberal promises like wheelchair access to an annual lesbian event for my life …

Bookworm finds a description of Obama in Jane Austen's 'Persuasion'

Over at Right Wing News, Bookworm has some apt then-and-now musings: There’s a reason for my little extended meditation on Obama’s personality as it first appeared and as it actually is. For my own pleasure, I’ve been rereading Jane Austen’s Persuasion, which stands second only to Pride & Prejudice in my estimation. P&P is a …

On Obamacare, the president contradicts himself every other breath

I have a theory that my idealistic friends who still trust Obama do so because they only tune in on what he is saying when they hear him saying something they agree with. This works with a trustworthy person — even a small sample of what they say will be consistent with everything else they …
