Krugman: Ignorant, or a liar?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

My post about Paul Krugman at PatientPowerNow.org has received many hits, thanks to Donald Luskin's linking it on his blog.  Thank you, Donald!  The first person to comment was not impressed with my post. David's comment on my response to it made my day.

Reminder of freedoms we do have

Boulder Daily Camera - critical of Medicaid?

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Yesterday the Daily Camera published my comments on Medicaid as part of their Virtual Editorial Board (printed version). They summarize my longer piece on Medicaid. I'm happy to note that among those that wrote in, I was not the only one critical of Medicaid. Better yet, Dave Humphrey and ...

South Park is Gay! (a fantastic social commentary)

Monday, January 29th, 2007

I expressed ...
