GIVEN THE STATE OF PLANET LOONEY TUNES THESE DAYS, WHAT’S NOT POSSIBLE? It may not be the end of days, America, but who can deny that we live in a crazy world where it seems that wrong is right and right is wrong? From attacks against Christianity and defense of Islam, to Obama’s edicts – [...]

Even if control of both Congress and the White House pass to the Republican Party in January 2013—and this outcome is far from certain—it might not be time to pop open the champagne. A number of existential issues face the country, challenges that would be daunting if the nation were united and sober, let alone [...]

What’s gonna happen, ya think? That’s easy for someone who’s not always right but is always opinionated: 1.

Last Sunday, against my better judgment, I turned on the television and tuned into NBC’s Sunday Night Football to see the New York Jets play the Baltimore Ravens.

Of late on any number of conservative blogs, commentators and those responding have correctly railed against the White House’s “stimulus” programs, aka the Recovery Act and all peripherals. Grants.gov lists all federal government grants and on that site, it is not difficult to see how a good amount of that cash has been spent on [...]

And now back to our regularly scheduled and pretty much justified paranoia…. The last week has been a whirlwind news-wise (are we sure it’s August?), what with the budget “deal” where no one got what they wanted other than the current Resident of the White House and the subsequent U.S. Government Securities/Bond notes downgrade to [...]
Today’s daily digest had two articles presenting the FDA’s case that regulating medical apps is a good idea and they should do this. They can be found here and here.
