RED TAPED HEALTH
Re: Joseph P. Duggan's The Bonfire of the Hispanities:

"Well," said the vice consul dryly, "you'll just have to come back later."

That quote popped into my mind that soon we will be hearing such advice from our health care regulation bureaucrats. What fascinates me is that the people who voted for this (the Obamanization of health care) in have no idea that the bureaucrats will not care if they are dying or that they will be maimed by delay...or that the health care bureaucrats, the president, the Congress and the rest of the bureaucracy and all their families will have their own separate health care system. It is oddly ironic that the "sumthin' for nuthin'" will get them what they gave.

DEPT. OF EASY SOLUTIONS

The President can stop Somali piracy in one move. Put a half dozen US Marines on every US-flagged ship in the gulf. There aren't that many US-flagged ships. Then let the other countries selling cheap flags of convenience defend their own ships.

This is what the Marines are for. This is why we have a Military.

Oh, and Marines, shoot to kill and leave them lay.
