- A certain “victim of the American drug war” has wisely said goodbye in her own inimitable style to posting about her experiences as a snitch. Apparently, she’s been in this mood for a long, long time — though I suppose it’s “statist” of me to say so.
- Speaking of statist, a gifted Virginia schoolboy has been suspended for touching the American flag.
- We may live in a police state. But at least we can still drink our troubles away. Idaho is going to permit Five Wives vodka to be sold after all. But only after a famous lawyer threatened to sue the state.
- How to get health care while uninsured.
- GOA sues to force the ATF to release documents related to Fast & Furious. (Via David Codrea’s Twitter feed)
- Thunderbird now offers personalized email addresses and will set them up for you automatically.
- Something else to worry about: Google planes. Eventually, Google drones. (H/T MJR)
- One of the best rants yet on Bloomberg’s soda pop idiocy.
- Quick. Without looking at the link, name the terrorist group that first blows people up — then blows up anyone who tries to rescue survivors — then blows up those who attend their funerals. And this monstrous villain that all decent Americans oppose is …
- How hard is it to shoot down a drone? (Unfortunately the article deals only with how hard it would be for a military to kill drones, not how hard it would be for a redneck with a rifle.)
- Finally, in the trivia department, did you know that Ray Bradbury wrote a children’s book called Dogs Think That Every Day is Christmas?
I thought Idaho was considered one of those great Free states that should make up the American Redoubt that is touted here and there. When a stat agency can ban a product because they don’t like the label, then I guess that Free state isn’t so free after all.
Im my area getting heath care while uninsured is easy. All you got to do is Si Habla Espanol and give a bogus address.
That monstrous villan? None other than BHO himself, an unendighted war criminal.
“A trip to a doctor costs around $150–$200, or about the price of a nice dinner.”
$10 is the cost of a nice dinner in my world.
I recently had to bite the bullet and go to the doctor. Found out I had been fighting an infection for a year and a half or so, and it finally wore me down to the point I knew had to do something. I have no insurance and wouldn’t apply for welfare, so I now have about $800 in medical bills. Joy joy. But I feel better, and have been able to make at least a small payment most months.
In following the “shoot a drone” link, I saw this familiar subject over on the side.
@ Matt
A “free state” is a contradiction in terms.
Two more tips on cheap health care:
Walmart has drop in health clinics in many locations that are very reasonable. http://www.walmart.com/cp/Walmart-Clinics/1078904
Here is a link to their list of locations: http://i.walmart.com/i/if/hmp/fusion/Clinic_Locations.pdf
Also, there are hundreds of low cost prescriptions also available at Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacies, generally they are $4 for a 30 day supply, $10 for a 90 day. I believe that Costco has similar deals. You don’t need to be a member to use the club’s pharmacy.
This crap about banning stuff because it’s bad for you has really got to stop. I personally have cut sugary crap out of my daily diet (save for weekends and such where I just don’t care) and if I had kids they would’nt touch the stuff…but come on.
People scoff at smoking bans and drinking laws as for the greater good, but this is the next step, America. And it won’t be the last.
