This is a terrible time for it as there is enough economic news out there to choke a pony.
However I am the midst of moving so I won’t be posting much for a while. See you folks in a week or two.

Jason and the rest occasionally posts my articles on Health Care. I figured I’d return the favor.
This article is spot on.
Still some days I feel pretty hopeless about the issue. I’d like to see universal French style coverage or even a P.P.O or every American.
Why I don’t think we will get there […]

Moon sent this along (from Slashdot Originally ) without any comments.
Again I don’t endorse all the findings but it is interesting.
My biggest concern about this sort of thing is that it makes it all too easy to demonize opponents. I worry about science being used into some Soviet Style Psychiatric Politics, you […]

Its short on solutions but long on facts. I’d urge everyone here to […]

I am not that pessimistic and I don’t endorse the fellows views. But I still would lay aside some supplies (a good thingto do at any time) some cash and maybe a bit fo gold and silver. Just in case.
Still as the title says its Worth a Look

On Bloomberg. .
Normally I’d have some pithy words of criticism about this dereliction of duty but frankly speaking this Congress doesn’t know jack-diddly. In a situation like this its best to take Mama Prospers advice “If you don’t know what you are doing, leave it alone.”
As for the poor feller with […]

I’ll keep the gloom-o-meter on low and keep it close to home.
Tent Cities all over this great land.
Its time to give all these fools in D.C. and the various State legislatures the boot. Right now it seems to be socialism for the rich and a donkey’s dinner for the rest of us. This needs […]
