He writes what you want to read to sell his books. But then, he might be getting senile. No one with his education and intellect could possibly believe his premise.

And so is a day, and so is a life.

Apologies if you’re a shut-in.

Also, RW, if memory serves your last life-changing political revelation was, apparently, based on the shocking information you absorbed from this sterling web-based resource. I still crack up when I think about the "fourth update" contained therein. It said so very much about the nature of such fever-swampishness.

I’m sorry, RW–you’re seriously suggesting that the brain trust at HotAir is a more respectable outlet than 538?

Seriously?

Like, who in the hellll is he? A conservative hack:

Thomas Sowell (born 1930) is noted for his conservative views on social and economic issues. An African American author and economist, Sowell opposes such programs as affirmative action, busing, racial quotas, minimum wage, and welfare. He has drawn fire from liberals and a number of African Americanleaders, while generating applause from fellow conservatives.

“how can it proscribe access to other medical procedures, including transplants, corrective or restorative surgeries, chemotherapy treatments, or a myriad of other health services that individuals may need or desire?”

wow, I know I’ve been out of the country for a few years, but there are actually people out there trying to block access to chemotherapy on religious grounds??? there are people blocking and picketing the DMV to prohibit people from signing up as organ donors??? there are “godly people” who are marching to end MRIs???

if not, then your/the WSJ’s comparison goes beyond apples and oranges … it’s more like apples and NUTS

It was fraud, greed, incompetence and lack of oversight by Congress and the Bush administration:

This might be a good time to point out that from most every objectively arrived-at metric, nothing published by the WSJ’s opinion pages in the past thirty years has been worth its weight in cat pee.
