Paging Dr. Hendrick–A Surgeon’s Devastating Appraisal Of ObamaCare

by Smitty (h/t Dr. Wolf) This lengthy clip is narrated somewhat dryly by Daniel Cox, M.D., and focuses on surgeons, yet is quite good: Going Galt: When Will Surgeons Say Enough is Enough? from Daniel Cox on Vimeo. I’ve screen capped the Thomas Hendrick quotation for your convenience: And here is the Medicus survey slide, […]

Everybody Should Buy Gold, Even If Glenn Beck Gets Paid to Tell You So

Look, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more than 300 points today, and the DJIA is down more than 1,130 points since closing at 11,205 on April 26. The Greek debt crisis is pulling down the European economy, more than 700 U.S. banks are now on the FDIC “troubled” list, and concern about a “double-dip” recession is becoming mainstream. Now, let’s look […]

VIDEO: Pat Toomey Ad

As Dave Weigel says — hey, he’s got me blogrolled at an MSM site, of course I’m kissing his ass — Toomey spent a year waiting to campaign against Arlen Specter, but he’s not wasting time on regrets: TV Clear Choice from Pat Toomey on Vimeo. The first post-primary Rasmussen poll shows Joe Sestak with a slight lead, […]

The Rand Paul Round Robin

Rather than continue extending my previous “Intellectual Terrorism” discussion of the Rand Paul civil-rights controversy, I’ll link some relevant stuff here.

Rachel Maddow vs. Rand Paul: Intellectual Terrorism and ‘Civil Rights’

Here’s the video: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy David Weigel has some interesting analysis: So is Rand Paul a racist? No, and it’s irritating to watch his out-of-context quotes . . . splashed on the Web to make that point. Paul believes, as many conservatives believe, that the […]

Like Rip Van Winkle

After delivering The Final Wisdom on PA-12 yesterday afternoon, I took a nap and didn’t wake up until nearly midnight. I woke to discover a world of news had transpired: Campbell Brown quit CNN because she’s so doggone unbiased that her ratings sucked. Jimmie Bise pointed out that “CNN runs uninterrupted in every hospital lobby, mechanic waiting room, […]

Rand Paul Has Made A Fine Transition From Rock And Roll

by Smitty His early rockabilly days were certainly memorable: Now that he’s on the November ballot for Kentucky Senator, he still remembers how to tell the opposition to “bring it on”, even if the “mike foxtrot” is delivered in parenthesis: While empathizing with Stacy’s disappointment over PA-12, if the Tea Parties around the country take […]

Axis Of Fedora Update: Stacy McCain Drained By PA-12 Reporting

by Smitty It really is a shame to see such a fine reporter and word-slinger laid so low. The frantic updates. The miles. The pictures. The constant masculinity threat of using the barbie cam. The deadlines. The obnoxious creep co-blogger, always looking for some smart-alec angle. They wear on a man, leaving tragic pieces of […]
