Mama Says

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.)  She’s [...]

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.  First, the [...]

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.

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 family perspective, my family [...]

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.

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 was [...]

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 conversation.  Since [...]

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 I [...]

I know what I think, but sometimes I have a hard time articulating my point.
So, in the tradition of the Internet, I’ll let others do it for me.
First up is a must read by my longtime blog read, Denise Hunnell.
She’s a doctor, by the way, and has great thoughts on healthcare.
I don’t have all the [...]

Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, [...]

Alert to Texas parents – Texas CPS is trying to take away all accountability for their actions.
You’ll remember that TX CPS was responsible for the FLDS debacle, in which all children were taken from their parents even if the parents were not accused of abuse or a crime, siblings were split up, and some women [...]
