VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: VA AG Ken Cuccinelli In Alexandria

by Smitty Monday, 26 July 2010, I had the privilege of attending a fund raiser for Patrick Murray, in the crucial effort to retire Gentleman Jim Moran.

You Go, Nancy!

by Smitty It takes a special kind of chutzpah to encourage people to do things that are not in their best interests.

Steady Development In The Virginia Lawsuit To Declare ObamaCare
Both An Exercise In Foolishness And Un-Constitutional, But Mostly Un-Constitutional

Paging Dr. Hendrick–A Surgeon’s Devastating Appraisal Of ObamaCare

by Smitty (h/t Dr. Wolf) This lengthy clip is narrated somewhat dryly by Daniel Cox, M.D., and focuses on surgeons, yet is quite good: Going Galt: When Will Surgeons Say Enough is Enough? from Daniel Cox on Vimeo.

Social Security Is Popular?

by Smitty (h/t Insty) Legal hero Randy Barnett has a couple of clips discussing ObamaCare’s Constitutionality. He makes the claim that Social Security is popular at the end of the second clip. With whom? Lots of people are cigarette smokers, and I submit that the godforsaken Ponzi scheme that is Social Security is popular, relatively […]
