  • The Language of ObamaCare

    George Rebane ‘Underneath every stack of government regulations lies a policeman’s gun.’  Anonymous Here’s a short puzzle – What will be specified in the IRS tax code, cost your family between $750 and $3,800 annually, is paid to the IRS, and for failure to pay will draw punishments of fines and jail time from a…

  • HR 2454 and Your House

    George Rebane I keep thinking that it can’t get worse.  Today I got an email from a reader that detailed just a small part of the horrors of this bill – the part describing how the feds are going to get into our pants on how we must live in and dispose of our private…

    George Rebane First Fibber and Nobel Al are still telling everyone within earshot that Waxman-Markey is going to be a big boost to the economy as taxes and fees are slapped on every imagined and imaginable emission of CO2 into the atmosphere.  I mean, like aren’t we excited about all the green jobs coming to…

  • Husband Chair

    George Rebane This is actually a little nudge toward economic recovery during hard times (Hat tip to Cass Sunstein, Obama’s Nudge Czar).  This weekend Jo Ann and I are celebrating the evening we first met fifty years ago as sorority/fraternity pledges at UCLA.  What happened there and afterwards is another story, but yesterday we decided…
