News of the Obvious: So, the government says they'll pay for healthcare if an employer doesn't provide that benefit...what do you THINK might happen?  "Huge Number of Businesses to Drop Health Insurance."

History lesson: "A Short History of Political Suicide."  And we let these people tell us what our healthcare should be, what kind of light bulb we should use, what kind of toilet we can install...




Finally, some answers from the mainstream media - about time they figured this out:

That's it.

Rumble on!
