That's right, starting this Saturday, March 6, AD. (that's Anno Domini, the Year of Our Lord, saviour and deliverer Jesus Christ) I will be hosting Love and Duty, 1-2 P.M. CST out of WGSO in New Orleans.
I've done cable access television before, but this will be live and, of course, requires different techniques and skills. If you think I'm nervous you're right.
The first show will be about the judgement of Sarah Palin and the duplicity of the failed Senator from Arizona, Juan McCain. Is Sarah Palin comitting political suicide in campaigning for Mr. Amnesty and does Jaun have devious designs?
I am going to go with devious designs and, so as to build suspense (and audience), I can tell you that you will be surprised and shocked, shocked at what Juan has in mind.
Also, we will be discussing The Rigged Game, with author John Hively. One citizen reviewer in a review posted on Amazon.com called the book "...very unique and highly recommended." In fact I feel so strongly about this book and this guest, I will quote the entire last paragraph of the review, "This is the best book I've read for many years. More exciting than 'the Stranger', more useful than 'the Prince', more insightful than Freud and Nietzche combined (well...). This book is the 'Origin of Species' of modern macroeconomics."
I heartily concur with the opinion of the reviewer. Please listen in to the show Saturday. If you're not in the New Orleans area, no matter. Saturday, March 6, at 1p.m. CST go to radiotime.com and in the search box type in WGSO. Please feel free to call in and offer your opinions about the show, book or guest. If you would like a peek at the book go to Amazon.com.
Random notes and disasters: What is in the health care bill? The details are beginning to emerge. It is not a pretty sight and not for the faint hearted. As Samuel Johnson said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." It is one more planned catastrophe (I don't believe in the "good intentions" part) in the carefully planned destruction of America.
The basic flaw, of course, the overworked and staggering "elephant in the room," is that the problem is unsolvable. Huh! Sorry, but everyone neglects to mention that the more money you make available to solve a problem the more it costs to solve the problem. Where do all the unwed mothers come from? We pay for them via welfare. If we paid people to stay married they would stay married. As long we make vast sums available for cancer research we will never find a cure for cancer.
There is, in my opinion, only one way to make medical care affordable and that is to defund it. Make all medical insurance illegal. Now. For profit, non-profit, private owned, state owned--doesn't matter--make it illegal.
While we're at it, bust up the biggest monopoly union in the country, the American Medical Association (AMA) and it's stranglehold over the medical schools. We need to double the supply of doctors, technicians and nurses. Then the vaunted free market will, with this increased supply of workers, find salaries and costs atumbling down.
Also, a true price system will force Americans to consider alternative treatments and lifestyles, eat organic, exercise (in moderation we hope) more and learn to think of medicine, affordability and effectiveness in the same sentence.
Too harsh? Do you seriously think more money will help? European style single payer? It sounds, at first, better than nothing, but you now have less motivation to invest in innovative techniques, and, consequently, there will be very little growth in medical knowlege. Also, do you really want the government, medical complex having literal life and death control over you and, yes, there will be death panels by another name.
A free and liberated medical system is not a pipe dream. It was once the American way. And it can be again.
