“Affordable” Healthcare Act
Finally! A piece that honestly looks at what the legislation does and doesn’t do! I am NOT the guy who says, “Hey, we have a great healthcare system as it is.” I don’t. I am someone who fits right in that gap of 24 million people who STILL won’t have “affordable” health insurance even if this legislation is enacted. I AM one of…

“Affordable Healthcare Act”
I make a feeble attempt to jump into the fray about healthcare. The Supreme Court heard arguments this week on the “Affordable Healthcare Act.” My current thought is this: It’s like saying “Holy Roman Empire.” It’s a misnomer. The Holy Roman Empire wasn’t Roman, not really “holy”, and not much of an empire either. The operative word that is deceptive…

Healthcare (non)Reform
This is yet another gripe on healthcare (non)reform. Let us review so I can properly tick off my conservative AND liberal friends: 1. I am not for repealing healthcare reform back to what we have. What have is lousy. If you need examples, I am a living one. So are other members of my family. Don’t get me started! 😉…

Healthcare Reform, the Kansas Jayhawks, and the Apocalypse
All was not lost on the weekend. Joe Mauer signed a long-term deal with the Twins. We’re pretty happy about that. That came hours before the final vote on healthcare “reform,” so it helped soften that blow. Couple that with the crushing defeat of the Kansas Jayhawks in the NCAA tournament, and, well, it’s a wonder the Apocalypse didn’t sweep…

The Politics of Power
For years I have had the realization that American politics is ONLY about power. I have carried no delusions about my party winning and then God would bless America once again. It is straight up power. They can yack about how they have the will of the people in mind, but when they get elected… game over. It’s about power.…

News Round Up
We get the doomsday forecasts so we are ready for self-preservation. We get the middle of the night votes from the Senate. No biggie there. The House did it a couple of weeks ago. Will anyone EVER read those monstrous bills? I bet the good senator from Louisiana may not read all of it, but she has a few paragraphs…

More on Healthcare “Reform”
I have a tab on this blog with more thoughts on healthcare “reform,” but I needed to add this update from Chuck Colson. I know there are people applauding this legislation. It’s becoming the liberal version of “patriotism.” Remember the “old days” of the Iraq War when the liberals got upset when Republicans challenged their “patriotism” because they opposed the…

Belief as Dementia, Evangelicals as Wimps, and HOW ABOUT THOSE TWINS
Leave it to The New York Times to equate religious belief with mild dementia. Check that. What they are really offended at is the thought of an intellectual having a Christian worldview. This must drive them nuts. We live in a day when David Letterman can confess on air to having multiple affairs with staff women and there isn’t one…
