I see from Gateway Pundit and Hot Air that Obama’s press secretary Robert Gibbs says that Obama is willing to be a one-term president if that’s what it takes to make him president-for-life in the new totalitarian socialist regime that will result from enacting Obamacare. Oh, wait — we were supposed to believe Gibbs meant …

First expand the supply THEN increase the demand — UPDATED: IBD survey says 45 percent of doctors will shut down their practices or retire early if Obamacare is enacted
I have been pondering a post for several days on the probability that one of the first effects of Obamacare will be to reduce the number of doctors. If Obamacare is passed, I believe that from that moment, thousands of doctors will start to plan how to sell or close their practices and change careers. …
Successful quadriplegic ex-football player on cover of August 24 Sports Illustrated
I took Dad to the dentist today and the latest issue of Sports Illustrated was on top of all the other magazines with a cover story about quadriplegic ex-football player Marc Buoniconti, so I eagerly picked it up to read the story. What a contrast between Buoniconti’s story and that of the Australian former athlete …
NOW I know why Gay Patriot denounces Barney Frank so often
I’ve been reading Gay Patriot since last fall, but I have been puzzled all that time about why Gay Patriot and Daniel Blatt (formerly known as Gay Patriot West) hated, denounced and ridiculed Democratic Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank with so much venom. Until today when I saw a few minutes of Barney Frank’s psychotic rants …

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 …

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 …

UPDATED — I think the real cause of death for Billy Mays was obstructive sleep apnea
I know the coroner’s report says that Billy Mays died on June 28 of a heart attack just shy of his fifty-first birthday. I know that the toxicology report released August 7 says that he had used cocaine a few days before his death and that cocaine use exacerbated his hypertensive heart disease and contributed …
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, Mary Jo
Just so all you young whippersnappers know, it’s been 40 years this month since Sen. Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge on Chappaquidick Island in Masschusetts late at night after a party and left a young staffer, Mary Jo Kopechne, behind in the car to drown. The analysis of his motives was epitomized by this …
