“IF OBAMA THINKS a leader should step down simply because large crowds of people protest in the streets of the capitol for a week or so, I’ve got an idea.”

TEA PARTY, take note.

THE STATUE OF TOLERANCE: Obama’s 2015 State of the Union.

Reassuring. Not.

AMERICA’S OTHER DRUG PROBLEM: “America has a serious drug problem, but it’s not one most Americans have heard of. The problem is not illegal drugs, but rather a critical shortage of many life-saving legal drugs.... And a leading cause of this problem is the federal government, specifically in the form of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”

That’s the federal government for you: solving (?) one problem by creating a new - and bigger - problem.

[Added] Why worry? With ObamaCare, there will be no doctors to prescribe them - and as an added bonus, no need for “death panels.”

I WONDERED WHY I wasn’t getting nickels in change any more.

VOODOO ECONOMICS: ”[T]hanks to the stimulus, the only sector creating new jobs is the federal government.”

[Added] Here’s an interesting conundrum for you. When everyone is employed by the government, salaries will go up, tax revenue will go up from the higher salaries, and productivity will go to zero. How does that work?

ANOTHER BENEFIT OF OBAMACARE


Or is it just coincidence that I started Social Security/Medicare three months ago?

GLENN REYNOLDS: Does America have a lawyer problem, or a law problem?

I find Reynolds’ piece somewhat reassuring. The first step toward solving a problem is admitting there is one.

PROFILES IN COURAGE: Jim Webb (D-VA) votes against ObamaCare repeal ... Mark Warner (D-Va) a no-show.

It could have been 50-49 if both my Senators had cojones. Count them as ex-Senators in the next election.

THE UNITED SPACE ALLIANCE is proposing to commercialize the space shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis for space station trips through 2017.

GROUNDHOG DAY


Al Gore must have been there.

THERE GOES THE ENVIRONMENT: Chinese are discovering the virtues of SUVs.

FROM MY EMAIL: Should doctors be banned?

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services. Now think about this:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000 (yes, 80 million).
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.

Statistics courtesy of FBI.

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Think about that the next time you go for a checkup.

FEDERAL JUDGE holds Obama administration in contempt. He’s not alone.

NOT ENOUGH, BUT IT’S A START: House GOP proposes deep agency budget cuts.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Obama’s multiculturalism vs. Bush’s freedom.

MORE ON SEN. CORKER’S Commitment to American Prosperity (CAP) Act from Instapundit.

The bill itself is only 10 pages long (contrast that to ObamaCare); a summary is here.

Read it all and follow the links. Then email the sponsors to encourage them to proceed.

GLENN BECK: just because I’m crazy doesn’t mean I’m not right. Follow the comments as well.
