In mid-January Sheriff Richard Mack suffered a heart attack. This follows shortly after his wife was hospitalized in 2014 with major medical issues. In 2010 I wrote a five part profile of Sheriff Mack (collected here in one post), focusing on his stand against the federal government in Mack/Printz vs. U.S. Sheriff Mack put a […]

Undoing the Damage from Obamacare
On March 4, the most important challenge to Obamacare goes before the Supreme Court. In King v. Burwell, according to Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner, the case is not about more federal welfare payments or about the technical interpretation of statutory language. It is about whether a president has the power to unilaterally rewrite a law. […]
Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell’s Solution for Greece
The Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell writes, “Centralization is the secular religion of the European elite and they want Greece in the Euro.” Dan, however, advises no more bail out money for Greece and counts Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain as countries all drifting toward bankruptcy.

Physicians are forced to comply with the EHRs by filling out a template for every patient to show the federal government that they are making “meaningful use” of the […]
David Lebovitz, Sardines and Chablis
Mouthwatering beyond imagination! A few years ago Debbie and I went on a once-in-a-lifetime Paris and Switzerland food tour with Paris-based chef and cook book writer extraordinaire David Lebovitz. Today we keep in touch with David and eagerly look forward to his regular postings on all things Paree. His most recent post on Rodel sardines […]
Mission Creep
Why is President Obama’s Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), issued last week against ISIS (6 months late), so open ended?
