Indeed Obamacare could bankrupt federal and state governments. So far only 1.6 million Americans have signed up for O’Care. How many have paid is quite another matter. Of the 1.6 million signups, an unimaginable 1.46 million have signed up for Medicaid. I don’t know about where you live, but where I live doctors will not […]

Obama/NSA to Collect and Hold Citizen Phone Calls.
Does this sound constitutional to you? My friend and Cato scholar Jim Harper explains this gross federal intrusion on the privacy of American citizens. Democrats are not coming forward to speak out against this disgraceful practice. Come next fall, Democrats, running for re-election, will be able to explain why anyone supporting such invasion of individual […]
Obama, IRS Target Tea Party
Treasury’s proposal to govern political activity of 501(c)(4) groups is a direct attack on the tea party. It provides the IRS with a tool to target conservative non-profits. The regulation would require conservative non-profits to prove their work is for social-welfare purposes. And if not, the government can revoke a tea party group’s non-profit status […]
Few Americans Are Paying for Obamacare
The O’Care ox is being gored as five million Americans are being cancelled and a laughable number have actually paid in. Loud flushing noises are just around the corner. All of which should make a nifty campaign platform for Democrats to run on next fall. It’s now past time for the rats to begin to […]
Hungry in Paris
When Debbie and I are in Paris for one of our regular stays, we are always in touch with the latest intel from one of our favorite all time Paris professional foodies, Alex Lobrano. We first met Alex a number of years ago with David Lebovitz and Mort Rosenblum. What a gregarious and Paris centric […]
In a Sentimental Mood
“Last week President Obama waxed nostalgic about the ‘good old days’ when union bosses wielded monopoly power in the workplace over more than a third of private-sector employees in America,” writes Stan Greer at the National Right to Work Committee. Union leaders are problem creators. Greer continues: An acclaimed new biography of jazz titan Duke […]
Paris Chef/Friend David Lebovitz’s San Francisco Food Intelligence
This mouth-watering, recent fact-finding trip from chef David is unique. David has always had a knack for finding off-the-beaten track winners that we all crave, but somehow can never find. Debbie and I were in San Francisco on our way to a Cato conclave last fall and wish we had this posting from David before […]
Recall Over Gun Control Heats Up
In tiny Exeter, Rhode Island the battle for a recall of town council members is going down to the wire. The council members voted to outsource the town’s concealed carry permitting, something that is against the law in Rhode Island, putting Exeter citizens’ rights at risk. The Wall Street Journal details the election here. A […]
“Street Fighting Man” Keith Richards
As Rolling Stones legend Mr. Richards nears 70, he remembers the minimalist sound and overdubbing that helped make “Street Fighting Man” such a huge hit for The Stones. Keith Richards: “Street Fighting Man” is one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs—probably because the music came together through a series of accidents and experimentation. We recorded […]
FLASH: Email Your Washington Reps to Vote No on Thursday’s Medicare Bill
Americans are but a whisper of taking a Sebelius/Obama Medicare hosing. Did you know that doctors receive Medicare compensation based on volume not quality of care? Well the Obama/Sebelius tag team is at it again, and both Republicans and Democrats have now ganged up to insure that Obama and Sebelius will actually be able to […]
