Health care candy land far too sweet
0 Comments
Last Updated: 11:42 PM 03/11/10 - Skipping through the Candy Land of the health care bill, one is tempted to hum a few bars of “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” What a deal. For deal-makers, that is. Not so much for American taxpayers, who have been misled into thinking that the sweetheart deals have been excised. Not only are the deals still there, but they’re bigger and worser, as the bard gave us permission to say. And the health care “reform” bill is, consequently, more expensive by billions. - Kathleen Parker, syndicated columnist (Full Story) |

Bittersweet Saturday one of the good ones
0 Comments
Last Updated: 9:32 PM 03/09/10 - In the early-morning cool of Saturday’s perfect Southwest Georgia day, the gathering along the Flint River at Albany’s Riverfront Park is subdued. They’re waiting ... waiting for the first of some 1,500 runners in the Snickers Marathon Energy Bar Marathon and Half-Marathon to start trickling in. The thing about Saturday’s gathering, the largest in the four years of the event, is that this year he’s flying solo. His wife Sara, who was instrumental in making the Snickers Marathon a reality, had left him to the task when her long fight against non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma — a form of cancer — ended in July of last year. - Carlton Fletcher, metro editor (Full Story) |

Tinkering stagnates economy
0 Comments
Last Updated: 9:36 PM 03/09/10 - Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has, if you called the tail a leg? When the audience said “five,” Lincoln corrected them, saying that the answer was four. “The fact that you call a tail a leg does not make it a leg.” That same principle applies today. The fact that politicians call something a “stimulus” does not make it a stimulus. The fact that they call something a “jobs bill” does not mean there will be more jobs. - Thomas Sowell, syndicated columnist (Full Story) |
