President Obama is rushing a massive socialized healthcare plan through Congress -- with a final vote expected in September.
The “ObamaCare” healthcare plan imposes at least $1.5 trillion in new taxes and forces Americans to “hand over” their health care decisions to politicians and bureaucrats. This nationalization of our health care system will cripple businesses and cause a massive increase in government control over our lives. For more on how the so-called “Public Option” is…

One of my former psychiatrists, Stanley R. Palombo, MD, once asked me why I didn't get better grades in school. That was back in the year 1990, while I worked at Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, a law firm in DC.
I can now answer Dr. Palombo's question, based on the scientific literature. I came from the type of family that promoted creativity, but one that did not promote academic achievement.
Findings in studies of parenting, education, and training have generally…

In November 1988, a few weeks before Thanksgiving, I went to lunch with two friends, Daniel Cutler and Craig Dye at the Cafe Mozart in downtown DC. Craig said to me: "Gary, you're always welcome to drop by my place. I'm always home. You don't even have to call first. Just stop over."
In August 1989 I attended a firm happy hour at a DC watering hole, Stetson's, in the Adams-Morgan neighborhood. Jesse Raben approached me and offered his congratulations on my being hired as a permanent…

I once went to dinner with Jesse Raben and Tracy Middendorf's husband, Franz. After dinner we walked back to Jesse Raben's apartment on New Hampshire Avenue. Franz said: "Where did you get that belt?" I said: "At Hecht's." Franz said: "That's a cool belt." I said: "Hecht's is a cool store." Franz smiled.
Jesse said: "I'd invite you up to the apartment, but it's late." I said: "We're friends now, right, Jesse?" Jesse Raben said: "Always, Gar, always."
I recall the line at…

Our animals are suffering terribly in the warehouses they live in before they become our food. We can do so much better. Animals have feelings....they also feel pain.
We have feelings we call love. What exactly is love? Is love for others, or bottom line...is it really for ourselves? Do we do things for others expressly for others, or do we do things because we need gratitude/affection in return? I know when we give presents to others we let them know who sends them. If we were to do…

My father was a atheist....His wife a good Christian, as was my mother who was his first wife. He hung out with the Christian Elite using the wonderful mannerisms and kind kind words, but behind their backs he was laughing at them like he used to laugh at the Christian side of my family
I have said these things for years now, so please don't take it personal. I have learned that what a person sells himself as isn't necessarily the person at all, so I don't pay a lot of attention to…

On the afternoon of Friday September 5, 1969 -- forty years ago -- I had my first chemistry lab in Mrs. Fisher's chemistry class. I wonder if Michael Kaliner remembers that? Mr. Kaliner was a truly decent young man.
I wonder if this is the same Michael Kaliner?
Mr. Kaliner, who was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 1978, is a partner with the Law Firm of Jackson, Cook, Caracappa & Bloom in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania. He concentrates his practice in the area of…

I have done some reading on mind control so I know a little bit about it to begin with. I esp. noticed through the repetition of cable news, mind control is definitely going on there. For example: If they can get the masses to believe in dumb crap like the War on Christmas, you can get em to believe in almost anything. War being the catchy word used to turn peoples heads and make them feel like something just horrible is taking place...What a crock.....Anyway, thank-you to Cable news for making…

The following text is excerpted from a paper written by Norman Doidge, MD: "Diagnosing The English Patient: Schizoid Fantasies of Being Skinless and of Being Buried Alive."
I here use the diagnosis of schizoid as it was first used by British Object Relations theorists, called schizoid because of 'schisms' in the personality. Because the disorder involves an often skilled role play at ordinary social relations, clinicians often misdiagnose these patients as obsessional or higher level…

I once went to dinner with Jesse Raben and Tracy Middendorf's husband, Franz. I asked Franz: "What is your ethnic background?" Franz said, "Aryan stock." I responded, "common or preferred." Franz looked at me with disdain.

In Poland... The German 10th and 14th Armies cross the Vistula River, breaking through the cordon of Polish armies. Polish rear guards and armed civilians offer determined resistance at Bydgoszcz, on the southern end of the Polish corridor, before yielding to the units of the German 3rd Corps. Germans troops find hundreds of German residents of the city massacred by the fleeing Poles. Such incidents are used to provide support for earlier claims by Hitler justifying the invasion. On entering…

If the government is able to run this and do a better job then other providers, why not let them in to compete with the private insurance companies.
I don't get how the same people who are all for a free market, are getting so scared to let Uncle Sam in. The only answer I can come up with , is they don't want anyone or anything get a hold of the booty they make from our misery.

Years ago I worked as a paralegal. I had a law degree, but I was underemployed. I complained to my psychotherapist that I was shunned by other employees. The therapist told me the problem was that I was underemployed: that people saw me as a "freak." He told me that the thing to do was to find employment as a lawyer--that way I would have colleagues who were on my professional level.
The problem is that lawyers working as lawyers are somtimes shunned by the prevailing clique at a…

One theory suggests that many creatively gifted individuals may suffer from depression as a result of being in environments that don't support their creativity. In her book, The Woman's Book of Creativity , C. Diane Ealy, PhD writes, "Many studies have shown us that a young girl's ideas are frequently discounted by her peers and teachers. In response, she stifles her creativity.” Other experts agree that suppressed and misunderstood creativity can lead to severe neurotic and psychotic behavior,…

Over Germany... The first attacks by RAF Bomber Command go in against German warships in the Heligoland Bight with 29 Blenheim and Wellington bombers in a daylight raid. The Admiral Scheer is hit three times but the bombs do not explode. The cruiser Emden is damaged by wreckage of a shot-down Blenheim. Of the attacking aircraft, 7 are lost. There is no question at this stage of attacking targets in Germany.
In Poland... In the north, the Polish Modlin Army begins to retreat after…
