Odder and Ender

The MO House has presented a report blaming abortion for illegal immigration. If all those zygotes had embedded and been borne to fruition (which happens less than half the time even when fertilized, I've heard), we wouldn't have all these open jobs for people to cross borders for. Seriously. As Governing points out, the next report will show how affirmative action has caused higher gasoline prices. Now you know why everyone there says "show me," including that 1 + 1=2. . . . Other bloggers have mentioned this but it perfectly explains why I was so despondent on the night of the IA caucuses in 2004, listening to all those over-educated Dems and media talk about how Kerry was "electable" and Dean wasn't. All Dean was, was right. And now those same people are saying Dean could never be elected Pres. Hmmmm. . . . A survey shows that Americans favor gov action on health insurance, just over half wanting it mandatory, with 60% wanting higher rates for smokers and 30% for the obese. Interesting question as to whether we could avoid gov regulation if we got premiums up high up enough or if it would just stop insurance from being used. Anyway, the window is clearly open for the Dems if they can get over the "Hillary health care disaster" once and for all. Get people guaranteed health care and watch the risk-taking necessary for a vital capitalism take off again, by both existing companies and by more entrepreneurs. I'm just saying.
