Don’t forget to update your feed so you don’t miss any posts! 1. We’ve had our Berkey water filter for about 9 months, and it recently started running soooo slowly. The filters are reusable, you just have to scrub them off every now and then with a Scotchbrite. I asked husband dear to look up [...]

I was working on a review of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, but Hulu is being persnickety. So I leave you with a definition to ponder: OLIGARCHY: noun a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes; also : a group exercising such control. We are supposed to have a government [...]

At least someone is being clear. Go, Rep. Ryan! $1 trillion, 1/6 of the economy? We have to pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it? “You can’t pass this bill the right way, so you’ll pass it the Washington way. You’re greasing the skids…” “It moves away from the American idea [...]

1. Saw the doctor Medicaid referred us to. She’s not a doctor, but a CNP. She did spend a good bit of time with me, didn’t get weirded out by the vaccine thing, and carefully explained all the options, her opinion, and let me make a choice (one vax this time, containing DTaP and polio.) [...]

We don’t have cable, so I did not watch the State of the Union Address. I did read the text online. Here are some thoughts on one portion of the speech. There’s no reason Europe or China should have the fastest trains, or the new factories that manufacture clean energy products. Well, yes there is. [...]

1. So I never know what to name these Quick Takes posts. I’m going to number them according to week this year. Unless I forget. 2. Have you seen this article on employment discrimination in the health care bill? That’s right, it’s going to hurt single income, working poor, and large families. For a large [...]

We don’t have cable anymore, but I understand Glenn Beck has mentioned that Obama’s Nobel may be unconstitutional. I got the tip off from Kathy Shaidle. (But how could that be? Obama was a professor of constitutional law at one point, was he not?) Anyway, I wrote it up on my Examiner.com site. Nobel Peace [...]

So, Obama was nominated for the prize less than two weeks after his inauguration. He was awarded the prize because he talks about hope and peace. He’s made some promises. Throwing the Poles and Czechs under the bus by crushing plans for the missile defense shield on the 70th anniversary of Stalin’s invasion of Poland [...]

1. Did you hear the White House wants you to report “fishy” casual conversations and forward private emails? There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual [...]

I got a nice, fishy email from www.barackobama.com asking me to call my representative and giving me a script of what to say. So, of course I called. And maybe I altered the script just a bit… and got to talking with the nice man who answered the phone and was at first confused that [...]
