Chicken Draft Dodgers

Here is where many of my right wing friends are going to probably disagree with me. Even become downright angry.

An Interesting Contrast In Semantics

As reported in the Toronto Star: “A U.S. company that charges up to $200 for medical tests covered by medicare should understand “they’re not welcome here,” Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman said today.” Well, seeing as you’re responsible for a budget of hundreds of millions, I assume you took some economics classes.

Happy Birthday, Leonard

My oldest son Alex reminded that today Leonard Cohen turns 70. I had planned on posting a birthday greeting, but Alex beat me to it. I don’t think Cohen is a libertarian, but I like his music. A bottle of wine (either red or white will do) and a pretty woman with some Cohen tunes
