A caregiver explains why losing your doctor under Obamacare can be a death sentence

I have been providing longterm and end-of-life care to my loved ones for most of the last 29 years, since my late life partner moved in with me in September 1984. (She died of complications of multiple sclerosis in December 2004.) I took care of my mother when she was dying in 2006 and shortly …

Obama’s record on Israel

This video is about 30 minutes, but it is a handy summary of Obama’s record on Israel. It is important because what Obama says and what he promises always have to be tracked. What he says must be checked to see if it is consistent with other statements on that issue — or if what …

Stacy McCain asks, ‘Why does Ann Althouse refuse to own up to being a rube?’

It’s a fair question. And dear Stacy was and is right, right, right, while Prof. Althouse was and is wrong, wrong, wrong. Here’s what Prof. Althouse wrote that set dear Stacy off — and gave me a big enough shot of adrenalin that I’m up past my bedtime writing about it, too: This is how …

Vodkapundit drunkblogs Obama’s Libya speech — and sticks the landing

I don’t drink and seldom take painkillers stronger than ibuprofen or Excedrin Migraine, so sometimes I don’t listen to Obama’s speeches because there is only so much pain I can bear without chemical assistance. But dear Vodkapundit is made of sterner stuff. After fortifying himself for the task, Vodkapundit posted this contemporaneous account of Obama’s …

Obama administration strangles new Calvert Cliffs nuclear reactor with red tape, blames victim

From Memeorandum I see that the Washington Post reports that the Obama administration has killed a new nuclear reactor at Calvert Cliffs in Maryland by setting terms for approving it that made it economically unfeasible in order to force Constellation Energy to cancel the project. Or, that’s what actually happened if you know how to …

Obama tosses crumb to lesbian and gay federal employees to dissipate the momentum of gay equality efforts

Well, that’s MY take on Obama’s motives. June is Gay Pride month, which Obama observed last year by tossing an even smaller crumb to gay and lesbian employees. He’s not trying the same gambit this year that he used successfully last year, though — he trumpeted a list of benefits gay and lesbian federal employees …

UPDATED Handy review of Obama's lies from 2008 to the present

I was thinking this week that it is a pity no one is keeping a Web site or page listing Obama’s lies. It would require a considerable staff — maybe dear Andrew Breitbart would consider adding “Big Lie” to his stable of “Big” blogs (Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism) — but it is a …

Watershed: Al Sharpton says Americans voted for socialism by electing Obama

Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com Sharpton on Fox to Geraldo Rivera right after the passage of the Obamacare healthcare reform bill on 3/21/10: “I think that this began the transforming of the country the way the president had promised. This is what he ran on. First of all we have to say that …

The Milgram experiment as a French game show

Allahpundit has a video clip of the fake French game show “Game of Death” that tested whether contestants would administer potentially fatal electric shocks to another contestant when ordered to do so as part of the game — 81 percent did. He matches that with some information about the famous experiment from 1961 by Yale …
