HoodaThunk?

Hmmm.

A very telling sign of the seriousness of an individual is how vocal they are about actions they’re supposedly proud of. If, for example, a bunch of politicians who steadfastly fought for a law that would benefit America were successful in getting it passed – to their thunderous applause, I might add – you would [...]

It is a fact that petroleum leaks out of the seafloor and into the ocean on a constant, naturally-occurring basis. It has for centuries – as best as we can tell, it’s actually been millennia. Oil is present in seawater, in other words, and always has been. When massive quantities of the stuff gets released [...]

The White House has apparently come clean about something critics of ObamaCare reported weeks ago. Last Friday the NYT reported that the WH is going to attempt to defend its authority to implement ObamaCare against the various lawsuits filed against it by arguing that it falls within the federal government’s power to tax. There’s a [...]

This sounds like an incredibly dangerous program to liberty: Last week, with little fanfare, among the ever deteriorating oil spill crisis, the White House quietly noted the issuance of an executive order “Establishing the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council”, in which the president, citing the “authority vested in me as President by [...]

Another item from the world of medicine came up today as a drug researched by Pfizer is performing well in early testing. This one is a lung cancer treatment: It’s way too soon to declare success, but an experimental drug for lung cancer patients with a certain gene showed extraordinary promise in early testing, doctors [...]

Until now, possibly: After decades of unsuccessful research, a collaboration based out of the Army’s labs at Fort [...]

Finally, the Loudoun Board of Supervisors has approved the building of a 2nd major hospital in Loudoun County. At Tuesday’s meeting, the board voted for the approval 9-0 making it unanimous. That’s good. I was keeping an eye open toward any resistance to this after all of the complaints raised about how this location was [...]

Remember how Obamacare was supposed to “bend the cost curve down”? That it was going to produce a savings of just over $100 billion? Well the CBO released the latest estimates today and they show it’s actually going to cost $115 billion more than previously thought. Congressional Budget Office estimates released Tuesday predict the health [...]

Excellent, the vote was 9-0. Now it’s the Board of Supervisors’ turn. Based on all the previous talk by the Board, especially from those who fought against the Broadlands location, there should be a very quick vote and equally unanimous approval. Let’s see if they were serious. Thanks to The Loudoun Scoop for the heads-up.
