I can't take this anymore.

It seems that even in a study of heart medicine, Dear Leader is a prime component.

"Widely applied, this could have profound implications," said Dr. Robert Harrington, an American College of Cardiology spokesman and chief of Duke University's heart research institute. "President Obama is trying to offer the greatest care to the greatest number. This very much fits in with that."

Why in the HELL does it matter what Obama wants? It's like reading a newspaper in facist Germany.

The end of food

It looks like the farmer's markets and farmer's rights are at risk. If you are a farmer, you no longer have the right against a search. BTW, no more Girl Scout Cookies.

This government has gone insane. Why didn't we want term limits?

End of America

This is one of the scariest times I can remember. The nanny state has come and is in full flourish. Things that I never thought would happen have happened and are being contemplated. I'm hoping I'm not seeing the beginnings of a dicatatorship and I hope that some form of sanity will break out. The government has lost its senses and I hope it can recover.

Damn. I don't want to tell my children of the country that it used to be. How could I ever apologize enough for the mess that we made of it.

Chicago Tea Party

There is a move afoot on protesting taxes. In chicago, the site for info is http://www.officialchicagoteaparty.com/. I strongly suggest you attend one near you. It might not be much, but the insanity has to stop, since the elective process seems to be failing us.

Dark Angel

Rating:★★★★
Category:Books
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Author:Robert Kirby
http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Angel-Robert-Kirby/dp/1892936097/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1237054946&sr=8-2

I've read most of his stuff and much of his work at the Tribune. I think this was his first fiction that I read. I actually liked it. His characters weren't all that well formed but he took a pragmatic look at the church in the days after the Civil War. People are people, regardless of which religion. Anyway, it took a couple of days and was an enjoyable read.
