I get emails

This time, from comedian Lewis Black (on behalf of the ACLU), whose claim to fame, so far as I can tell, is railing against all manner of picayune shit during the later Clinton years: Dear ACLU Supporter, Call me old-fashioned but I believe that elections should be decided by how many votes you can win, not how many voters you can keep away from the polling booth. And yet, all

“Which Is Having A Worse Year, Obamacare or NHS?” [Darleen Click]

For the “healthcare is a right you, teatards! Only Big Daddy Government should be in charge!” Progressives, here’s the future under ObamaCare. The bureaucrats at the Dept. of Health and Human Services and those at Great Britain’s National Health Service should consider getting together to compare notes on 2013. I don’t know who would come out the winner in the pity competition, but at least the ObamaCare exchanges aren’t abandoning

In other words, grow up [Darleen Click]

We are a nation of sneering Peter Pans.

Happy New Year! Here’s your new ObamaCare Fees! [Darleen Click]

Thank you, Judge Roberts! Most insurers aren’t advertising the ObamaCare taxes that are added on to premiums, opting instead to discretely pass them on to customers while quietly lobbying lawmakers for a break. But one insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, laid bare the taxes on its bills with a separate line item for “Affordable Care Act Fees and Taxes.” The new taxes on one customer’s bill added

Gov. Nikki Haley posts pic of her Christmas present. Leftist heads explode. [Darleen Click]

Our family had a wonderful Christmas together! I must have been good Santa gave me a Beretta PX4 Storm. http://t.co/QtRbyFU6CT — Nikki Haley (@nikkihaley) December 26, 2013 The comments on the Twitter post includes the usual anti-gun hysteria — she doesn’t “need” the gun, she’ll end up killing some one else — and the always popular Leftwinger wish towards non-leftists: @nikkihaley @theonlyadult Please God, use it on yourself. Like before

ObamaCare could resemble Medicaid [Darleen Click]

Well, duh. Those signing up for private health care coverage on the ObamaCare exchanges may be in for an unpleasant surprise — they’ll have insurance, but they might have trouble getting the doctor to see them. As hundreds of thousands enroll for coverage beginning Jan. 1, analysts are warning that the plans are likely to give them access to fewer doctors and hospitals. So much so, they warn, that the

Merry Christmas … [Darleen Click]

Haven’t posted Satch’s matches for a while

So here are a few: From a dual Saturday, Satch — weighing in at a lithe 48.4lbs — takes on a 61 pound foe. The voice you hear coaching him (along with mine) is Leister Bowling, who is a grappling coach for a number of top UFC fighters (including at times George St Pierre) and one of the coaches of our Metro club: From the same dual, Satchel loses a

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Deck the Halls and all that jazz

Yes, I’ve been away: I really need to recharge my batteries and decide if shouting into the wind day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year is truly worth it any longer, particularly when so many people add to this cosmic joke by either surreptitiously or very obviously pointing industrial grade fans in my general direction. Not really, of course. But it’s a metaphor so

Christmas movies … [Darleen Click]

Returning home from Thanksgiving, we got into our pjs and slippers, poured a couple of glasses of wine and watched Miracle on 34th Street (1947 in glorious black and white). Last Sunday night we huddled on the couch with the grandsons and watched A Christmas Story. Tonight, after I’ve seasoned the roast and set up the wassail to simmer over-night, we’ll be watching The Bishop’s Wife So what are the
