GYNECOLOGISTS run afoul of panel when patient is male.

Umm ... Okaay, then, would it be 'within the rules' to treat gay men? And 'outside the rules' to treat lesbian women? Is gynecology gender-specific? Or sex-specific?

And who treats pregnant men?

YOU NEED TO GO TO UNIVERSITY FOR THAT? Elon University is offering a self-pleasure course to teach students how to masturbate. Is it a lab course? Coed?

IF YOU OPPOSE OBAMACARE, you must be racist.

The Affordable Care Act can be construed as a transfer of benefits from Medicare, which serves an overwhelmingly white population of the elderly -- 77 percent of recipients are white -- to ObamaCare, which will serve a population that is 54.7 percent minority.

Hmm. Ignoring the fact that a 54.7% majority isn't a minority, isn't ObamaCare supposed to be serving (I use that term advisedly) all Americans?

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE: Ending U.S. Human Spaceflight Program Would Save Billions.

It would also end the near-term commercialization of space, which is likely the real goal.

THE IDEOLOGY OF DIVERSITY:

As a wholly owned subsidiary of “multiculturalism,” these seem to me a few of the tenets at its core:

(a) outcomes must be equal among racial and ethnic groups, except when they accrue to the advantage of a racial or ethnic “minority” (including women);

(b) disparate outcomes among racial and ethnic groups represent some form of institutional bias to be rectified by government action;

(c) all cultures are equal, except for that of the United States, which is eternally guilty of racism under (a) and (b) above;

(d) the expression of views disagreeing with (a) through (c) must be suppressed or, if it cannot be suppressed, must be stigmatized as “racist.”

TO ACHIEVE THE HOLY GRAIL OF SOCIALIZED MEDICINE: Why Did Obama Lie About Health Care?

VANCOUVER: No more doorknobs allowed.

The change might seem curious at first glance, but Tim Stanton, professor and director of the University of British Columbia, said that Vancouver’s interest in regulating doorknobs likely comes from something called “universal design.”

This is the concept that society should be as open and accessible to as many people as possible.

So, when it comes to doorknobs — which could be difficult for some people who have disabilities to operate — putting this theory into practice would mean coming up with something like a lever that is more usable to a greater portion of society.

Vancouver's cats will be very happy.

And a reminder to petty bureaucrats everywhere: you can't do just one thing.
