Planned Parenthood's $1.3/2.0 Billion Fraud
Try and find a news article on the lost $1.3 Billion that the United States Federal General Accounting Office discovered in its audit of Planned Parenthood.

What happened to the Blog?
I spend a lot of time on Facebook. The “Notes” on that site work pretty well for a blog. Come see, sometime.

No Connection – Hasting Center Essays Miss the Mark
The Hasting Center has published an online collection of essays called“The Values and Health Care Reform Connection” allowing the public to comment on health care and “American Values.” You have to admire the awareness of the academics – not only have they noticed that the conservative, pro-life, religious “American” is concerned with values, but they … Continue reading

I’ve been a little distracted, getting my house ready for the New Braunfels Republican Women’s Christmas Tour of Homes, but I should be blogging more in the future. Found a post at “RBO,” (RealBarackObama) that quoted my reports (here and here) on the conference call with “Doctors for America,” back in September. I like being … Continue reading
