SCOTUS To Decide To Hear VA ObamaCare Suit Today?

by Smitty (h/t Theo Spark) Read the whole thing at the American Spectator: . . .occasionally the justices receive a “petition for certiorari before judgment” asking them to consider the decision of some District Court before it has been reviewed by a Court of Appeals. Friday’s conference schedule includes consideration of one such petition, filed […]

A Rasher of Bacon As A Unit Of Measure

by Smitty It makes sense to scale food to some hand unit of measure. Who wants to fret calories and grams and whatnot? Via the Weekday Vegetarian, which I swear my wife shared with me in the Google Reader, as I would never be caught with my masculinity so impaired as to subscribe directly, we […]

NY-25 Flashback: Dan Maffei Still Trying to Comprehend His Own Defeat

Perhaps you can imagine the big grin with which I’m writing this, as I think back on that day last October when Da Tech Guy and I arrived in New York’s 25th District and the front-page headline was: “Dan Maffei leads Anne Marie Buerkle by 12 points in new poll.” That would be former Democratic […]

The Nyquil Worked

Just to update y’all on the illness I announced Wednesday: I took the NyQuil about 1 p.m. and by 3 p.m. was asleep. I woke up about 11 p.m. and took another dose of NyQuil. Some time Thursday afternoon, I woke up long enough to do one brief post, but was still feeling very woozy, […]

. . . you never know. By the time you read this, I might be pushing up the daisies, shuffling off this mortal coil, pining for the fjords. My plan, however, is to be deep into the merciful bliss of a Nyquil-induced sleep. So let’s hope it is only a late-winter head cold that has put […]

‘Wrist Slaps for Everyone’

That’s Allahpundit’s prognosis for the outcome of the “investigation” of University of Wisconsin doctors writing bogus excuses for protesters in Madison: This involves a few individuals out of the nearly 1,300 physicians at UW Health. These UW Health physicians were acting on their own and without the knowledge or approval of UW Health. These charges […]

In Case You Didn’t Notice, ObamaCare Is Both Unconstitutional and Un-American

This falls under the category of “Not Exactly News,” although it’s good to have a federal judge say so: A second federal judge ruled on Monday that it was unconstitutional for Congress to enact a health care law that requires Americans to obtain commercial insurance, evening the score at two-to-two in the lower courts as […]

Health Care and the ‘N-Word’

Last week, when I did a post about efforts to promote state nullification of ObamaCare, my friend Ali Akbar joked on Twitter that I was using the “n-word,” but now apparently nullification is the latest rage: BOISE, Idaho — Republican lawmakers in nearly a dozen states are reaching into the dusty annals of American history […]
