I’ve been working on a new project and trying to get a website off the ground. Not being an IT person, working on a website using Apache, Joomla and etc. has been an eye-opening and frustrating experience. If you think you are smart enough for Mensa but then try to design a website nearly from [...]
We had an unauthorized charge on the card I use to pay for hosting for this web site and the bank had to issue a new card number. In the process, the site went down. I also want to apologize for the scarcity of posts. We were busy with vacation and home improvement projects and I’ve [...]
Veteran ABC and CBS reporter, Linda Douglass, joined the White House as the communications director on health care and is now leaving now that health care has passed. Um, yeah. Many people argue that there is no media bias but when you see the surveys and watch members of the media as they jump into [...]
The following came from the AP story sent out on the wire this morning: The measure would also usher in a significant expansion of Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the poor. The insurance industry, which spent millions on advertising trying to block the bill, would come under new federal regulation. Parents would be [...]
Bart Stupak, in an interview with National Review, said that some Democrats believe that abortions will save taxpayers money: “If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing,” Stupak says. “Money is their hang-up. Is this how [...]
Due to the actions of a tractor trailer driver, Harry Reid’s wife, Landra, and daughter, Lana, were involved in a terrible car crash today. According to the press, Senator Reid’s wife has suffered a broken back and neck (!) and his daughter has a neck injury and cuts to her face. Please keep the senator and [...]
For those of you who may have perused my website eons ago, you would have noticed that I was represented by the Nashville Speakers Bureau. They have apparently folded (I missed that memo) and so any requests can be sent to me directly for the moment until I find a replacement agency. Thanks for your [...]
I’m always tickled by the argument that we are experiencing a crisis of gargantuan proportions by not curbing greenhouse gasses, etc. because the polar ice caps will melt, more etc. Because, right now, I’m sitting next to the French doors leading to our tiny back yard that sports a blanket of snow about eight inches [...]
AP is projecting that the Massachusetts senate seat is going to Brown. CNN projects the same. Boston Herald is showing Brown 53%, Coakley 46%. I’m doing the Snoopy Happy Dance!!!!
I haven’t had a great deal of time since Christmas but I hope to get back on schedule this weekend. Check back later for info on health care reform and the Roe v. Wade anniversary
‘Sex and the City’ actress Cynthia Nixon was on CNN commenting about health care and the need for abortion coverage. Sister Toldjah does a wonderful job of covering the interview and what Nixon had to say. h/t Sister Toldjah
Durbin is live on C-SPAN. He was speaking a short bit ago about Senator Coburn’s request yesterday to have the Sanders amendment read out on the floor of the Senate. Sanders amendment was nearly 900 pages long and would have created a single payer, government-run health care system here in the United States. Senator Coburn’s [...]
Can anyone say “Bush lite?” Tonight’s address at West Point by President Obama was strangely reminiscent of President Bush’s address to the American people announcing the war with Iraq. I agree that we should stay in Afghanistan but I disagree with having a timeframe for troops to come out. War never goes according to a [...]
Yep, you read that correctly–CATO adjusts the 1 trillion figure to reflect the real costs– despite all of the accounting gimmicks by the Dems. Maybe I’m jaded, but I read the $6 trillion figure and thought, “Not surprised.” Really, how on earth are we to pay for nearly everyone in the U.S. to have health [...]
I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving yesterday! Of course, today is Black Friday–the biggest shopping day of the year (at least retailer’s hope it is) but I will be staying home with my brood today. I don’t like crowds enough to save money on something I likely wouldn’t have bought in the first place.
