Surprise: US To Face Shortage of Doctors
Hey, did you know adding millions of regular patients to the health care system while not increasing the number of doctors can actually lead to a shortage of physicians? Democrats in Washington either didn’t know or didn’t care. Either way, we’re left screwed. Experts warn there won’t be enough doctors to treat the millions of [...]
Of Course: Obama Bows to Chinese Leader
12. April 2010
Mind you, for all of the recent economic advancement in China, the country is still Communist. President Hu Jintao actually leads the Communist Party of China.

12. April 2010
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a White House view our country in a more unexceptional manner or act more presumptuous about the perfection of its ideas. That whole democracy thing?

We even get this in the fourth paragraph: Instead, the bus shooting prompted widespread anger in Kandahar with protesters setting tires aflame and blocking [...]
Charlie Crist’s Poll Numbers Collapse
12. April 2010
I think we can declare his campaign over. Rubio 57 (+1 vs. last poll, 3/18) Crist 28 (-6) Und 12 (+4) Crist held a 14 point lead in an October Rasmussen poll; the two were tied in mid-December. It’s hard to imagine another turnaround happening before the August 24 primary. Rubio is viewed favorably by [...]
