If you really think about it, it’s actually pretty difficult to believe ObamaCare supporters are serious about the claims they make. My latest column for the American Spectator looks at these people as comedians:
Among the most hilarious ObamaCare claims is that it will reduce the federal budget deficit. No less a jokester than Paul Krugman produced this gag in a […]

VIDEO: DEM REP CALLS QUESTIONS ABOUT REFORM & THE CONSTITUTION “SILLY STUFF”
This is the congressman who recently said, “I don’t care about the Constitution.” The videographer asks him what provision of the Constitution allows Congress to force people to buy health insurance, and this “representative” of Illinois citizens calls such questions “silly stuff.” Well, the congressman and his Democrat accomplices are about to discover (on November […]
DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (XV)
I sometimes suspect that progressives possess a better sense of humor than we give them credit for. The claims they make for Obamacare certainly suggest that. I mean, how else can one explain their claim that is that it saved Medicare, a gag that can be can be found in the latest edition of the Health Wonk Review:
One of HWR’s contributors, […]
MISS ME YET? LEFTY COLUMNISTS SAY “YES”!
Is it possible that progressive journalists want George W. Bush to rescue President Obama from the fallout of the latter’s stupid comments on the WTC mosque? Yep.
‘It’s time for W. to weigh in,’ writes the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd. Bush, Dowd explains, understands that ‘you can’t have an effective war against the terrorists if it […]
VIDEO: YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK
While Donald Berwick and his growing army of health care apparatchiks decide which medicines to deny Medicare patients, the Democrats have been spending large sums on programs that sound too preposterous to be real: $700K on joke-telling robots, $3.4 million to build a pedestrian tunnel for turtles and $2.6 million to teach Chinese prostitutes how to drink […]
DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (XIV)
The past week produced a lot of tough competition for this coveted prize. For sheer cluelessness, however, this post by JournoList founder Ezra Klein takes the bisquit. He manages to say something stupid in almost every line. He begins by repeating the following idiotic canard:
I’m really not sure why conservatives are so excited that an electorate primarily made […]
KRUGMAN BENDS THE PLAUSIBILITY CURVE
Paul Krugman isn’t a stupid man. He is, however, such a slave to his ideology that he often makes claims for which the only appropriate adjective is ”dumb.” Yesterday, for example, he produced a blog post in which he made following preposterous assertion:
[T]he Medicare actuaries believe that the cost-saving provisions in the Obama health reform will make a huge […]
DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (XIII)
Jonathan Chait is the easy winner this week with this idiotic post, in which he suggests that gun owners should pay more for health coverage than people who do not own guns:
Of course, people who keep guns in their home are choosing to run the risk of incurring injury or death … But now those […]
JOURNOLIST SCANDAL: WHY HASN’T EZRA KLEIN BEEN FIRED BY THE WASHINGTON POST?
Ezra Klein’s specialty when he began blogging at TAP back in 2007 was health care, and you will be hard put to find a more prolific writer of dumb reform posts. Nonetheless, that continued to be his primary focus after his ascent to the Washington Post. But stupidity is a kind of birth defect, and one should make allowances.
It is, however, harder to […]
WHY IS THE FDA INVESTIGATING CYCLING?!?!
A few days ago, I linked to Paul Hsieh’s op-ed about FDA interference with your right to get information about your own DNA. If that didn’t convince you that the FDA has gone completely off the rails, this will:
The U.S. criminal investigation, which is being led by the Food and Drug Administration … is designed to potentially […]
