Health Care Is Not That Complicated
By C. Edmund Wright

It is no more practical to have "health insurance" to pay for prescription drugs and routine doctor visits than it is to expect your auto insurance to pay for your oil changes and tire rotations.

But we do. read the rest

Meantime...

Rioting continues in Tehran where people are being gunned down in the streets. North Korea is thinking it would be a very good idea to drop a nuke on South Korea, China or gosh, even us. It's really hard to keep track of who they're mad at. Asians markets are dropping like a rock, and Netanyahu stated "Israel will not negotiate with terrorists who wish to annihilate us."

Things are going well....

A Whiff of Desperation

Smitty is a Class Act

and...

Guess what instrument Smitty plays.....a contest

Robert Stacy McCain is a lucky man, indeed!

In an earlier post I bemoaned the fact that I didn't have a Smitty. Stacy McCain not only has a beautiful wife, who sees to his corporal needs, but he has Smitty.

Smitty has a brother, who when not attending to his business, lives not to terribly far from me. But, alas and alack, his brother doesn't blog and would probably find the Catholic Church too controlling.

How do I know these things? Last week I sent a quick and to the point email to this paragon of linky-love by the name of Smitty. And guess what? I received an almost immediate response.

Just think about this - a busy person on a blog that attracts millions, took the time to answer an email from moi, a small nit on the hair follicle of the blogosphere.

I call that classy!

Something tells me that if I emailed Stacy I just may receive an answer also. To be fair, I haven't tried because, well after all, he is Robert Stacy McCain. But real soon I'm going to email him because I'd really like to interview him for my blog and maybe, just maybe he'll say yes.

A Whiff of Desperation

As Obama's approval ratings continue to slip, and it becomes increasingly obvious that our Commander-n-Thief has no idea what he's doing with the economy, even BHO's friends at WaPo are starting to express concern. Apparently, criticism regarding Obama's stimulus plan is gaining quite a bit of traction. And it's not just the "racist" tea party crowd doing the complaining anymore.
