Here is a link that will help you decipher the hand signs. So why rap music (which I generally hate) and hand signs? Well I have a story about a political rally. And the “singer” in the video performed at the rally. Multiple shootings were reported at a Wednesday night concert on the Texas Southern…

This is the best version I could find on YouTube (musically). The video is kind of plain though.

Well now we know why the bill has a mandatory Advance Care Planning section in it. Under Obama Care you are going to need it a LOT sooner than you think. H/T Hot Air Cross Posted at Power and Control

I was reading the comments at a Town Hall post and came across this one. Recently, I stopped to grab lunch at sandwich shop/gas station. It was busy there so I parked in the hinterlands. While walking to the store I passed the gas pumps and I noticed a young black man about 30 splashing…

It seems like the Democrat Party is not happy with some Democrats. The DNC announced that they will start running ads in Blue Dog districts to punish them for their vote on Waxman-Markey. They may do the same for any Democratic nays on ObamaCare. This is great. I remember not so long ago when they…

While noodling around the ‘net I came across a statistical study of the history of sunspots and the Earth’s climate. (if the English is less than perfect it is because the person writing is a native of Finland) When the planetary effects have been searched as a cause for sunspots, a gravitational effect is mostly…

Glenn Beck explains the American oligarchy/government organization chart. Is your blood boiling yet? The Greeks have seen all this before. Something like 3,000 years ago. The one thing we have in our favor is that oligarchies are rarely popular when self-government is at least a theoretical option. Time to take to the streets. See you…

Commenter ThomasD at Classical Values had this to say about the Advance Care Planning post. I work in long term care, and have worked in hospice care (much of which is currently covered under Medicare.) I also absolutely loathe Obamacare and it’s backdoor attempt to create a single payer government controlled system of health care…

The Obama Administration says that their health care plans are a work in progress. Administration officials defended President Barack Obama’s broad health care proposals on Sunday and urged a skeptical public not to judge the Democrats’ overhaul until Congress writes a final version. Facing independent budget predictions that contradict the White House’s rhetoric, officials sought…

I just read an interesting section of the proposed health care bill that refers to Advance Care Planning Consultation. Now what the h e double toothpicks is that? Go to page 425 and read a ways and you come to: 4 ”(E) An explanation by the practitioner of the 5 continuum of end-of-life services and…

The Russian Fleet is in dire straits. In ten years it may no longer (for practical purposes) exist. The NVO report does not pull any punches: “The Russian Navy is on the verge of irreversible collapse. Within ten years there will be in the entire navy less than 50 vessels still capable of operations, which…

I posted this video at Power and Control With this comment: Obama in Russia. Evidently the guy don’t get no respect. H/T Backyard Conservative Raving Dave in a comment to that post gave me a link to this video from Obama’s Saudi Arabian tour: I guess he can’t get any respect even from his “friends”.…

I was in a hippie house on Webster Avenue, just off of Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California, watching avidly on a B&W TV. I never imagined that we would stop manned missions to the moon and beyond for such a long time. Here is a book about it: The First Men on the Moon: The…

You can see an excellent video that explores the Canadian Health Care system at the link. The bottom line? The Canadian system is a two tier system. The poor get long waits (leading to injury and death) the rich buy their health care. Here is the health care bill Congress is preparing to vote on.…
