I have written about my grandfather before and how intelligent and learned a man can be without an indoctrination in government schools…he once told me this: Son, Washington D.C. is the only place on Earth where a man can go with nothing but lint in his pocket, spend 6 years and produce nothing but hot…
The UK has been at this “universal” health care for decades, you would have thought that the bugs would have been worked out by now. Perhaps they have been – and this is exactly the way it is supposed to work – from today’s Daily Mail: New cancer drugs held up by the NHS for…

Chuck writes: With Mother’s Day right at our back, I want to address one of the most extreme overreaches by the federal government into American homes that I’ve seen in a long time. Then I want to call on my own 91-year-old mother, who was raised in rural Oklahoma and worked in cotton fields with…
In the most popular variation of the myth, Narcissus falls in love with his own reflection and consequently spends so much time looking at himself, he starved to death. This version from the Encyclopedia Mythica fits the First Gay President: An important and earlier variation of this tale originates in the region in Greek known…
This morning, I was snide with B. about not posting. Admittedly, that’s a bit hypocritical of me as I only seem to post when inspired. It’s your lucky day! I was inspired this morning….. I came across this post that asked, “Who do you think is more likable as a president?” It then went on…
