WORKS AND DAYS

For those of us who like to check in with Dr. Hanson regularly, here’s a link to his columns.

CZARS I CAN LIVE WITH



Via Instapundit.

The "Boob Czar" reminds me of Dolly Parton's reply when asked if she would run for public office: "We've got too many boobs in office already."

LISTENING TO A LIAR

Dr. Thomas Sowell asks ”Why the rush?” on the stimulus, and on healthcare. His answer:

There are lots of people in the Obama administration who want to do things that have not been done before-- and to do them before the public realizes what is happening.

It’s all about control. Read the entire column.

THE TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS

Dr. Sam Nussbaum asks: So who, then, are the real villains in health care?

Are they the world's best-trained physicians and health care professionals who care for our loved ones? Perhaps our hospitals, which bring both employment and cutting-edge medical technologies to our communities? Our pharmaceutical, biotechnology and device companies, whose researchers give hope to those afflicted with diseases once thought incurable? Or our insurance companies, which provide access to these vital health services and whose nurses help coordinate care for patients? The answer is all of these groups standing together. The villain is our collective overgrazing on the commons of the U.S. health care system.

He forgot the most important villan - us.

DEFENDING VAN JONES

Charles Krauthammer: "Having once written a column praising Vice President Cheney's pithy deployment of the F-word -- on the floor of the Senate, no less -- I rise in defense of [Van]Jones [President Obama's "Green Czar," who called Republicans "assholes"]. True, Jones's particular choice of epithet had none of the one-syllable concision, the onomatopoeic suggestiveness, the explosive charm of Cheney's. But you don't fire a guy for style."

No, you fire him for being an idiot.
