So Obamacare finally made it . . .

. . . and now we’ll have to live with the consequences. I’m frankly sickened by the duplicity, immorality and bare-faced gall displayed by the Democratic Party in passing this bill. I won’t bother to recap all of their shabby tactics, bribery and arm-twisting – you’ve doubtless read all about it in the news media.… Continue reading So Obamacare finally made it . . .

Politics makes strange bedfellows . . .

. . . at least, that’s what Charles Dudley Warner said. It appears to have more than a little truth in it. I’m not exactly a ‘progressive’ in political terms, according to how such people define themselves: but a rant by a ‘progressive’ professor (with thanks to A. D. for the link) shows that progressives… Continue reading Politics makes strange bedfellows . . .

Berkeley High School, CA – where the lunatics are running the asylum

At first I absolutely couldn’t believe my eyes, reading a report about this school . . . until I realized with dismal misery that it wasn’t a joke. Berkeley High School is considering a controversial proposal to eliminate science labs and the five science teachers who teach them to free up more resources to help… Continue reading Berkeley High School, CA – where the lunatics are running the asylum

A superb rant!

Stingray, the male half of the Atomic Nerds, has unleased a truly superb rant about the ‘commercial Christmas’ being inflicted upon us all, as usual, at this time of year. His language is sometimes over the top, but in general he says it all very well indeed – and very rudely! Here are a few… Continue reading A superb rant!

Obamacare: the legalized theft of public finances?

I’m growing more and more angry about the abomination of desolation that is the health care reform package being advocated by the Obama administration and the Democratic Party. I’ve written about various aspects of it before on this blog. The latest hidden corruption to emerge from this legislative sewer was exposed by the Detroit Free… Continue reading Obamacare: the legalized theft of public finances?

Senator Chappaquiddick – dead at last

I note with no sadness whatsoever that Senator Edward Kennedy, of Chappaquiddick fame, died last night. I may be criticised for saying it, but if anyone left the world a better place by leaving it, he did. I can only hope that Mary Jo Kopechne was there to greet him appropriately when he arrived on… Continue reading Senator Chappaquiddick – dead at last

The underclass at “play”

I suppose congratulations are due to the Los Angeles Lakers for their victory in the NBA Championship. The same, however, can’t be said for many of their alleged ‘fans’ in their home town. News reports (I’ve linked only two of many) speak of violent clashes with police, assaults on innocent passers-by, the looting of at… Continue reading The underclass at “play”

Bureaucracy gone mad – again!

I’m infuriated to read of the cavalier attitude of Lambeth Council, in south London, England. They decided they were going to make a portion of road, previously open to parking, into a no-parking zone. They duly hired contractors to paint a double yellow line on it. The contractors arrived, only to find the car of… Continue reading Bureaucracy gone mad – again!

It’s always someone else’s fault!

From Colorado comes the news of a tire-slasher who simply couldn’t help himself – according to him, anyway. (The report’s from a British source, hence its spelling of ‘tyre’.) A man arrested in Colorado on suspicion of slashing the tyres of around 50 vehicles told police that he blamed his vandalism spree on his relationship… Continue reading It’s always someone else’s fault!

Scientology in court again

I’m very pleased to see that France is charging the so-called ‘Church’ of Scientology with organized fraud. You can read all about the case at the link. Scientology is a total sham, a mish-mash of pseudo-science that has no relationship whatsoever to reality. This has been demonstrated time and time again, both in court and… Continue reading Scientology in court again
