Oh, no! "Man who drinks 5 diet cokes per day hoping doctors working on cure for whatever he's getting."

Mt. Erebus is erupting.

Good news: IRS backs down on forfeiture cases.

Democrats can save their policy (ObamaCare) or their party...but not both; that's according to Jim Geraghty. Now this was before yesterday's Obama press conference. Already, Washington state will ignore the president's likely unconstitutional fix...which is only for one year. Here are two Volokh posts noting the fix is unconstitutional. Hot Air ( Read more... )

ProPublica: Coming in January: ObamaCare Rate Shock, Part Two.

More lies from the Administration. The Administration has claimed that because of all the technology problems with ObamaCare, they didn't know how many people enrolled. That sounds reasonable. However, the Washington Post reported this morning: According to one person with knowledge ( Read more... )

Here's a link to a beautiful picture of the Naples, Italy area. You'll notice a black hole in the street lighting just to the south and east of Naples. Is it a lake? Not hardly. It's Mt. Vesuvius, a volcano that's erupted in the past and will erupt again in the future. (It's last eruption was in 1944; it's most well known was in 79 A.D.)

The biggest winner at the WSOP Tuesday night? The IRS, of course.

It’s vital that the Department of Justice go after individuals who turn the ( Read more... )

I remember watching an NCAA basketball tournament game from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. The university's slogan was prominently displayed on the basketball court: "Expect A Miracle!" Well, Democrats are hoping for one with ObamaCare (which I'll get to shortly); I had one happen to me today ( Read more... )

GOP Senator Ron Johnson introduced the "If You Like Your Health Plan, You Can Keep It Act." It's not likely to pass the Senate, but it's a wonderful political move.

You may be about to faint: I'm going to agree with something on Daily Kos (sort of). Ted Rall wrote why Sarah Palin is right about ObamaCare. He argues the failure will lead to ( Read more... )

I played at Maryland Live Casino today. It was a a nice play to play, the opponents were mediocre, and it was a profitable session. But the wtf moment came upon leaving: The exit guard confiscated my half-drunk bottle of water. "It's a liquor board regulation," he said. It was water, not alcohol ( Read more... )

President Obama is going to unite the country: Barring a miracle, he's going to unite the country in believing there are things that government should not do. For those on the left who like the idea of universal health insurance (single-payer), the chance of that passing is evaporating day-by-day. The failure of ObamaCare will cause no sane ( Read more... )
