PARIS — Remember when you were a kid and you would open a full refrigerator right after mom’s latest grocery-shopping trip, only to complain that there was nothing to eat and that she was starving you to death?

Ben’s Rocket to Nowhere

How to Win the Assisted-Suicide Debate

“Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams wants to kill Victoria Reggie Kennedy, Ted’s widow. He also wants to kill my husband, author and anti-assisted suicide activist Wesley J.

Random Thoughts

Random thoughts on the passing scene: Many people take pride in defying the conventions of society. Those conventions of society are also known as civilization.

Iran, a Dangerous Obamacare Diversion

Does anyone with credibility like this deal Obama’s team made with Iran? I’m not seeing much encouragement as I scan the news covering the subject.

You Can Keep Your Lie If You Want To

“I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you,” declared Nietzsche. Lying to Republicans and conservatives is fine sport for partisan Democrats and liberals.

Oprah, Take Off Those Black-and-White Glasses

Come on, Oprah. You’re way too smart to be this stupid. When are you going to get off this kick about Barack Obama being disrespected more than previous presidents just because he is a black man?

For Obamacare Architects, Problems are Features, not Bugs

The defects of the Obamacare website have become well known. But the problems with the law go further than the website. These problems are not incidental, but central to its design and the intentions of its architects. Many Obamacare backers, including Barack Obama, would prefer “single-payer” health insurance.
