Ever since Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) unveiled his Budget Plan, Republicans have been attacked for hating seniors, wanting to gut Medicare, and wanting old people to die. Or so you would think. Heck, I think you could say the Republicans were being just plain hateful toward seniors, especially considering the comments by DNC Chair, Rep. [...]

That is the headline of this entertaining, and accurate, assessment of Obama’s Ireland visit by James Delingpole, “O’Bama? Ph, Puh-lease!“. Many of us saw his visit there as overblown, but only someone in the UK could pull this off: Ah Bejaysus and Begorrah! Oi’ll be swearin’ boi the auld shrine to the Vorgin with the [...]

I don’t know about you, but I grew up watching “The Andy Griffith Show.” Griffith was a fellow Tar Heel, after all. His show imparted words of wisdom on a regular basis. My 7- and 10-year-old nieces still watch his show on TV Land (along with the “Lucille Ball Show”). Yes, the show routinely poked [...]

Some readers of this blog took exception to my post titled “Fear Itself,” which was published on April 6. I’d like to address the objections. Protest is the American way. The health care bill, a massive piece of legislation, had many elements which some could find objectionable. Mandates are worrying, as is the fear that [...]

If you mean the White House and some unions, the answer would be a resounding, YES! W.H., Labor To Vote-Switchers: We Won’t Forget. You may recall that I wrote about this very real possibility recently in, “Toddler in Chief Throws A Temper Tantrum,” based on a story from The Telegraph (U.K.). Now, it seems, not [...]

My senator, Lindsey Graham, has been hot under the collar about this Health “Care” bill, and the manner in which Ben Nelson was bought off by Harry Reid at OUR expense this past weekend. He likened it to “Chicago-style politics.” I’d be inclined to agree. Here is Senator Graham explaining his assertion: You tell ‘em, [...]

Just before midnight Saturday, the House rammed through the 2,000 page monstrosity laughingly known as the health care bill. I’d say they did it under cover of night, reneging on a promise of a 72-hour waiting period. Again, who read this thing? How much arm twisting was involved to prevail in this close vote of [...]

By now, surely you have heard about the White House threatening a Gag Order on insurance companies, Humana in particular out of KY. Why? Because they dare to tell their members what will happen to Medicare Advantage if the current Health Care Bill goes through. Damn their eyes – what are they thinking, giving their [...]

In the continuation of my “Was He Lying Then, Or Is He Lying Now?” series, I have yet another video of “Then” and “Now.” I promise I’ll let go of this at some point soon, but there are just SO many things that keep coming up, especially in the Health Care arena, that I could [...]

It used to be, not so very long ago, that the first numbers assigned to each newborn were date and time of birth, weight, and Apgar test scores (ratings on muscle tone, respiration, reflex irritability, pulse, and skin color). Now, the instant babies pop out their sweet heads (or butts, out of respect for those [...]

My good friend and neighbor, let’s call him, Roger, depends entirely on his pitifully small Social Security check as well as Medicare. He called up his senators and representative yesterday, and also sent all three of them this e-mail: I am stunned that the Obama administration has the nerve to refuse to give senior and [...]

Yesterday President Obama stuck his foot in it. It was a gaffe worthy of Vice President Biden! But let your mind not be troubled. I don’t think he noticed. He seems to struggle with the first half of his message, but delivers big at the end. H/T to Hot Air for this video. It is [...]

In today’s LA Times, Peter Nicholas reports White House declines to disclose visits by health industry executives, “citing an argument used by the Bush administration, the Secret Service rejects a request from a watchdog group to list those who have visited the White House to discuss the healthcare overhaul.” Reporting from Washington — Invoking an [...]

The pharmaceutical industry is having a half-off sale! President Obama just couldn’t gush over it enough. Soon, seniors trapped in the so-called Medicare drug coverage donut hole will be able to purchase their medications for 50% off the usual outrageous rate. As of now, Medicare helps pay for seniors’ medications (75%) up to $2,700 and [...]
