My Ass Does Not Go Beep Beep When You Touch It

Today is my birthday. And as such, I reserve the birthday right to make bold pronouncements about my life. Today, as I turn 27 years old, I say unto the world that I am not a motherfucking car. Robert Tracinski, writing at Real Clear Politics, describes how terrible the Democratic…

Free As A Bird…A Sick, Wheezing, Uninsured Bird

Thomas Sowell writes, in the clarion voice for personal liberty we’ve all come to know and use to justify wearing body armor over our kidneys, that universal health insurance is the enemy of freedom. This is mainly because we live in a healthcare system rife with freedom and opportunity and…

Megan McArdle Is A Kind Of Dumb There Are No Words For

Megan McArdle has been on a rather legendary tear of stupidity as of late, but in typical McArdle fashion, she’s wrong in ways that require a 10:1 energy-to-stupid ratio to correct. She’s said incredibly stupid things about healthcare, national health insurance and now about obesity. If I was powered by…

The Secret To Health: Stop Being Sick

Sonny Bunch rather elegantly (if unintentionally) demonstrates the case for universal health care: But certain things about the health care debate drive me absolutely nuts, like the self-entitlement you encounter day in and day out when you pay attention to the issue. Take this guy, for example. Allow me to…

John McCain hates my family and wants us to starve

And no, I’m not actually exaggerating*. Frankly, I don’t know how I missed this story, because apparently it’s been around awhile. John McCain wants to tax your employer-provided health care benefits. He wants to replace those benefits with an insufficient tax credit–$2500 for individuals and $5000 for families (the average…

Out

I’m headed to the hospital – I think I have appendicitis. I’m also trying to get it clarified as to whether or not I actually have health insurance. Wish me luck! UPDATE: Insurance confirmed.…
