DAVY CROCKETT has died. I had the pleasure of meeting Fess Parker once - on an airplane flight many, many years ago. He spent nearly the entire flight in the coach class, signing autographs and chatting with passengers.

A decent man.

OOPS!

BEST PRACTICES - for whom? “Throughout the behemoth legislation are countless new boards, commissions and oversight bureaus designed to assess quality of care, design “best practices” and force – through incentives and penalties – the implementation of the government’s idea of beneficial health services. Those “best practices” will not necessarily reflect the desires of doctors and patients, but the treatments that pass the government’s cost/benefit analyses.”

“The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.”

Nope. It’s not about control. Pay no attention to what he said.

2010: CROSSING THE RUBICON. Victor Davis Hanson thinks America has done so already; Thomas Sowell believes the point of no return for America will be the 2010 Congressional elections.

BUT, BUT, ... healthcare will be different.

Yeah, right.

EVERY TIME YOU USE A SUPPOSITORY, think of this health care vote.

HEALTHCARE FOR THEE, but not for me.

Hypocrites ....
