I'M ENTITLED No .. not asking anything from government. I'm just being a bit lazy today ... abbreviated program notes. Looks like I'm going to be flying by the seat of my pants. TRIAL LAWYERS SHOW THEIR STRENGTH In New Jersey we have a doctor training Jersey toll booth operators how to deliver a baby. Some of you may wonder why. It's because more and more live births are now happening while the mother is trying to get to a hospital, and more of these mothers are having to hit the road to cross state lines to find an obstetrician. Why? Malpractice insurance premiums. The House passed a bill this year to limit medical damages. The vote was close, 229 to 196. That bill is now before the Senate and Democrats are blocking it. Democrats, as you know, are the exclusive beneficiaries of huge donations from trial lawyers. Now these trial lawyers have managed to corral the votes they need to kill this medical liability reform. If you think that trial lawyers are too powerful in Washington, just remember where that power rests ... on the Democratic side of the aisle. COVER-UP IN THE WORKS? I'm highlighting this column by Michelle Malkin. I'm not going to try to recreate the column here, just a brief roadmap.
Read the column for more ... but it does sound like there may be a cover-up in the works, doesn't it? http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33481 I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE Have we all lost our minds? Are we really upset by this? Chicago Cubs manager Dusty Baker says that blacks and Hispanics are better suited to dealing with high temperatures. Excuse me, but isn't this an accepted truth among anthropologists? Isn't it true that nature herself has seen to it that humans who live in hotter climates have darker skin? If Baker's statements are true, why in the world are so many people getting their boxers in a bunch over this? Leave him alone. There was no ill intent, and what he said was quite probably true. The real issue here is what would have happened if a white person had made those comments. I don't have to fill in that blank, do I? HERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS A just-released survey shows that the United States leads the world in the private ownership of guns. We are now near the point where there is almost one gun for every American. Good. America is also one of the freest nations in the world. Coincidence? Now we just have to work on removing those laws that prevent law-abiding citizens from carrying those guns for their own protection. AND JUST HOW LONG SHOULD THIS IDIOT STAY IN JAIL Some moron threw a cherry bomb from the upper deck at the Oakland Coliseum yesterday. A young boy on the lower level was hurt when it exploded. He'll be OK, just some minor burns. Now ... two things:
I just wanted to make sure I said it first. READING ASSIGNMENTS The top of the reading list today. Bob Herbert, a New York Times columnist, says its time for some civil rights leaders to address the problem of black self-destruction. Good thing Herbert is black. If a white columnist were to say this it would, of course, be racism. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/07/opinion/07HERB.html?n=Top%2fOpinion%2fEditorials%20and%20Op%2dEd%2fOp%2dEd%2fColumnists%2fBob%20Herbert A dissertation by a George Mason University graduate student has really caught the attention of some Washington security experts. Interesting read. If a college student can do this, tell me why some Islamofanatics can't http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A23689-2003Jul7.html I didn't catch this last month .. but can you believe our Supreme Court citied foreign law as a justification for overturning that sodomy law in Texas? Foreign law? Aren't these Justices supposed to be focusing on our Constitution and our laws? http://www.usatoday.com/usatonline/20030708/5303928s.htm If that great, necessary, wonderful, praiseworthy Medicare drug benefit is all that wonderful, why, then, did the House approve legislation that would insure that federal retirees don't have to use it? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29511-2003Jul8.html?nav=hptop_tb Do you think our war on drugs in the United States is a good thing? Can you read this article with an open mind? http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A29981-2003Jul8?language=printer More on the Michael Savage situation. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2003/07/09/MN158024.DTL Now that Hillary is starting to soften her insistence that she absolutely, positively won't be a candidate for president in 2004, pundits are starting to suggest various courses of action for the Republicans. http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/20030708-085023-3989r.htm The teachers unions says that teachers are underpaid. Wow, imagine my surprise. The Hoover Institution says that teachers earn more per hour than architects, engineers, scientists and nurses. Food fight! http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33485 I told you about that radio talk show host who picked up an Internet rumor and put it on the air. Here's the story. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-78katharineharris,0,307496.story |
