GUN CONTROL? Or gang control?

STICKER SHOCK: According to the IRS, the cheapest ObamaCare health plan will be $20,000 per family.

Along with many others, you can count on me to pay the penalty and go uninsured. I'm not inclined to accept the premise that this will inevitably lead to single-payer healthcare; twenty thousand bucks will buy an awful lot of health care from physicians/ hospitals willing to accept cash.

More here.

ADDED: $20,000 isn't unrealistic; it's about what my wife's school district pays for a family policy.

USDA SETS NEW LIMITATIONS on snacks sold in school vending machines.

It's time to set limitations on government instead.

CHURCH SAYS Wounded Warrior Project refused their money. I had decided to donate to them this year. Now I'll rethink that decision.

OBAMA: I shot a skeet once....

....but it got away.

THOUGHTS FROM WOMEN about women in combat.

A male view is here.

NANNY OF THE MONTH:



I already have to get an annual prostate exam to get my blood pressure medications renewed, a comprehensive dental exam to get my teeth cleaned, and a social security number to pick up my prescriptions at the pharmacy, so why not?

THE GUNS OF VILLARAIGOSA: LA's mayor declares war against the manufacturers whose weapons protect his city's police department.

But then, Mr. Villaraigosa is not a man known for his keen intellect or his grasp of legal nuance. Though he attended law school, he failed in four attempts to pass the California bar exam before forsaking a career in the law in favor of a less intellectually demanding life in politics, for which, happily for him, there is no qualifying examination. And if the mayor happens to be of modest wattage between the ears, it is a deficiency that scarcely distinguishes him from most members of the city council, for whom empty gestures like the mayor’s investment recommendation have come to be routine.

Villaraigosa is an archetype of the contemporary politician.

OBAMACARE: Leave no insured behind -- unless they can't afford it.

MAN, SEX, GOD, AND YALE: Why we give these 'elite' schools a respect they clearly don't deserve is beyond me.

OBAMACARE 2013: let the layoffs begin.

IMMIGRATION REFORM: legalization, not citizenship, is the answer.

AEROSCRAFT: a cargo-carrying airship.

I worked on a similar venture some years back. It proved not to be commercially viable. I hope times have changed as I'd love to see it fly.

IN THE BUREAUCRATIC MIND cultural heritage is more important than welfare.

"FIXING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM by government fiat is like neurosurgery with a hammer. It’s going to hurt more than you think, and will harm more than it helps."

BY INCREASING federal control over the healthcare industry, Obamacare has made it easier for both private and public groups to capture rents and funnel taxpayer money into their coffers. Why am I not surprised?

TAR AND FEATHERS ALERT: A 5-year-old boy in Massachusetts may be suspended after he reportedly built a toy gun out of Legos during an after-school program.

ANNANDALE, VA on the joys of government bureaucracy.

ALL YOUR WEALTH are belong to us.

YES, LET'S SAVE OBAMACARE by letting unhealthy people die. And at the same time, we can protect public health.

So much for the 'caring' Left....
