UN's "Shock Therapy" for the US

The United Nations and the EU are in a tizzy over the US's failure to act on global warming. Now they're threatening to engage in "shock therapy" to get the foot-draggers (like the US) to move quickly on the industry-destroying, liberty-killing, corruption-feeding, progress-hating, neo-Luddite legislation we like to call Cap-and-Tax.

All Hail Britain's NHS!! 5 of 6 Patients Diagnosed Properly!!

There are two ways of looking at the statistics posted by Britain's National Health Service... and I guess it all depends on your perspective. besides, I've taken a lot of heat from Brits over what they see as criticism of their system. The fact is that it's really just discussion of what's been reported... but let's not get hung up on details. the GOOD news is that 5 of every 6 patients in Britain's National Health Service welfare healthcare scheme actually have their illnesses and diseases diagnosed PROPERLY. Unfortunately that leaves 1 in 6 with a misdiagnosis. Another great thing about this news is that it reminds us that you get what you pay for - and free healthcare is no exception. Thanks Britain... and thanks NHS for all your, uh, great work.

Why Don't WE Have Patriots in Charge like Honduras?

The news today is that constitutionally ousted strongman Zelaya has returned to Honduras and is hiding out in the Brazilian Embassy. Which raises a few questions- why is he there unless he's there to start trouble? And why is Brazilian interference into another sovereign nation's affairs being tolerated? How is it that so much of the world has taken an antagonistic approach to constitutional government by Honduras in their own internal affairs? And why the hell don't WE have patriots like Roberto Michiletti removing OUR constitutional threat from office?

Art for Obama... Or You Don't Eat!

The National Endowment for the Arts held a startlingly inappropriate, creepily Stalinist, and probably illegal conference call for potential grant recipients the other day... and EC analyzes what they're really doing and why it's so damn creepy. If only Comrade Obama knew...he'd put a stop to this!

What the Van Jones Fiasco Tells Us

The Van Jones fiasco, and the problems with both Obama and his administration that it laid bare, are sure to continue causing Obama headaches... provided there are any journalists left.

Say it Ain't So! Pelosi and Reid Have the Votes??

In the face of a public outraged by the tone-deaf and stubborn government lawmakers, legislative leaders are assuring everyone they can shove health care reform (whatever that means this week) down our throats anyway

Obama's New Second Job, the Dollar, and the UN

In the worst sign yet that our economy may be headed for rougher times ahead, our President has taken a second job, as Chair of the United Nations Security Council. Is he really allowed to pull this kind of a stunt? Also, in completely unrelated news (yeah, right), the United Nations backed monetary organization (whichever alphabet soup org that is) is recommending the end of the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency.
