The facts: Barack Obama won 38 percent of white Dems in NC, and didn’t do much better amongst whites in IN (35 percent). In exit polls of 1,881 IN Dems and 2,316 NC voters, two out of three Hillary Clinton supporters said they would be dissatisfied if he is their party’s nominee.
How much of […]

Now we know who a Vanderburgh County Indiana poll worker was arguing with in the now semi popular exclusive WTVW FOX7 video showing possible electioneering practices at an Evansville Polling Precinct.
The Evansville Courier and Press is reporting that the Democratic Poll representative was bickering with was Republican Leon “Big Man” Collins. Collins is running to […]

Barack Obama (D-IL) had said that IN would be the tie-breaker, after Hillary Clinton (D-NY) won PA and he won NC as he was expecting to. And so the tie was broken – but just barely. Hillary won IN 51 percent to 49 percent, and lost NC by 41 percent to 56 percent.
Hillary’s disappointing […]

I love hospice, because I’m old enough to remember when dying patients ended up in hospitals, or we docs would try to make house calls and try to get neighbors to help give adequate care in their homes. But with hospice, nurses helped me care for my patients by checking them frequently at home, and […]

That heparin contamination that killed a few dozen folks might have been a deliberate act, not an accident…well, duh…
I noted that two weeks ago…
And this is on the heels of the fake protein in cat/dog food, and the lead in the kids’s toys.
But in Africa and Asia, things are worse. The tainted cough medicine that […]

I love conspiracy theories.
The stories often have a smidgen of truth in them, but are amplified until they become larger.
So we are now reading lots of news stories about the genitalia stealing witches in Africa and that mobs are going around killing the witches in Africa.
Actually, the problem, called Koro, is a world wide phenomenum.

Shouldn’t Bill Moyers broadcast more of his Jeremiah Wright Jr. interview aired last week on PBS? Based on comments made by Barack Obama’s former pastor in his National Press Club appearance in Washington on Monday, some of Wright’s more controversial comments may have been edited out of the program, Bill Moyers Journal. (Transcript […]

It took some 20 years, but finally Rev. Jeremiah Wright said something that got Barack Obama’s goat: Wright called him a politician. That was the last straw.
Obama was moved to take Wright to task for his lost week-end (rather, the week-end Wright probably destroyed his chances of becoming president) spent dissing all those white voters in MA and […]

After the fiasco two weeks ago, when the Illinois Senate buried Rep. Franks’ recall amendment (HJCRA28), Senator Hendon introduced his own recall amendment in the Senate. This version (SJCRA70) is substantially similar to Rep. Franks’ recall but has a few changes: the ability to recall judges, the Governor and Lt. Governor have to be […]

While early exit polls showed Sen. Barack Obama leading in the Pennsylvania Democratic presidential primary, and broadcast and cable news networks consequently delayed calling a winner in the election, when the actual ballots were counted Sen. Hillary Clinton had carried the Keystone State by some 9 percentage points.
Some pundits quickly suggested that the […]

Does Hillary Clinton (D-NY) have a point that Barack Obama (D-IL) is the weaker candidate against John McCain (R-AZ) because of his inexperience and inability to attract white, blue collar support? Is Obama justified in his claims that Clinton is the weaker candidate in the general election because she is too polarizing and Americans are […]

The last time Dems were considering which presidential hopeful should be the party’s standard-bearer, Howard Dean screamed (video link) and a frightened rank-and-file hurriedly anointed John Kerry the frontrunner - deeming him the most “electable” in the field – and then had the rest of the campaign to repent at leisure as Kerry became embroiled […]

Everyone discussing the Pennsylvania primaries is insisting that Hillary’s win there is due to racism.
Well, my husband and I were docs in the coal towns of Pennsylvania, and our children suffered greatly from racism, yet I have to say that a lot of the “analysis” gets things wrong.
The pundits see things “black versus white”, so […]

Sen. Hillary Clinton (NY) won the Dem primary in PA – an important swing state - with a respectable 10-point margin (55 percent to 45 percent) over her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama (IL).
Both Hilary and Obama held onto their core supporters, and neither made inroads into the other’s base. Women, senior citizens and less […]

April 22 is here–Earth Day, and Scorched Earth Day in Pennsylvania. Only fools predict political outcomes this year. I qualify. So here’s what’s going to happen.
Hillary will probably win the primary. If she wins by any more than two percent, she will trumpet her triumph as a come-from-behind victory, even though she started with a 20 […]

I was happy when the Pope addressed the UN on Human Rights.
In various places where I’ve worked, I’ve run into human rights issues, from sterilizing Native American women, to lots of money for “pill ladies” in African villages without running water, to displacing people from farms lands designated for a certain race, to allowing out […]

Last week, ScottAdams, of Dilbert fame, made some suggestions to the press on what they should be asking the presidential candidates instead of the inane questions that are being asked now.
He suggests three topics: Who would they pick for their advisors (cabinet and vice president), what would be in their proposed budget, and who would […]

During the Dem debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the MSM – represented the other night by ABC News’ Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos – finally began vetting Barack Obama (IL), asking questions that made the candidate squirm and his supporters scream. For her part, Hillary Clinton (NY) took the opportunity to vulch. […]

It’s true! Would hysterical conservatives lie to you about a Godless Muslim Koran-fondling wild man like Scary Barry? A man who doesn’t always wear a flag pin on his lapel? That was mighty careless of him. You’d think the Anti-Christ would be a little more devious than that. Since Christ was clearly a white American, […]

Attention Conspiracy theorists.
They caught two of the ships that caused part of that Middle East Cable outage, and it turns out it was not done by the CIA, or Mossad, or Iran, or Alqaeda.
Just some careless sailors.

In their stump speeches Barack Obama (D-IL) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY) have done their best to create what Washington Post columnist George Will calls “economic hypochondria,” and their surrogates in the MSM are laboring mightily to find everyday folks who can put a face to the suffering the candidates claim is caused by the “housing […]
