A Dying Culture

Thoughts of the night from the late Robert Heinlein, from his novel Friday “A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot…” What made me think about that quote was a minor confrontation […]

Trial Balloon: Obamacare Fixes The Problem Of Insurers Ripping Off Consumers With Lousy Plans

There’s political spin, then there’s plain lying. Obama was plain lying when he said you could keep your plan (and doctor).

He just tried the same thing last week with […]

Rehashed Meme: “Climate Change” Threatens Food Supply

This is nothing new: Warmists have been pushing “food security” as a hotcoldwetdry meme for decades, most heavily over the past 5 years or so (along with other memes, such as biodiversity and sustainability).

HHS Head Sebelius Brings Up Tickle Me Elmo In “Affordable” Care Act Discussion
