Filed Under Health Care, Politics | 16 Comments

Anybody who paid attention to the process of putting together the paradoxically-named “Affordable Care Act” knows that neither “affordable” nor “care” was the point of the bill.

Filed Under History, Science & Nature | 11 Comments

History was made 42 years ago today, as Apollo 11 touched down on the surface of the moon. It’s also my son’s 16th birthday, which means that my car insurance will very soon cost about as much as a moon shot, so I think that’s a fitting tribute. Out of all of the moon landing [...]
