What we've been tweeting

We apologize for the infrequency of posting here of late, a condition we will chalk up to a busy work schedule and the dog days of February and March where nothing happens, right?


We were able to get off some thoughts this past week via Twitter which we will share below:




Another day, Another constitutionally dubious unilateral executive order ObamaCare delay...

http://t.co/FUPjua9iPt. WaPo not even pretending anymore that this thing is not an unholy mess. #ACA #ObamaCare

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) March 4, 2014

http://t.co/FUPjua9iPt Intent behind newest delay is so transparent, WaPo doesn't even bother trying to bury it. #ObamaCare

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) March 4, 2014

http://t.co/FUPjua9iPt Remember all those crappy sub-standard healthcare plans #ObamaCare was going to rescue you from? You can keep them.

Over to you, Senator Reid:

http://t.co/FUPjua9iPt. @SenatorReid all these delays & exemptions proof of Americans lying about their #ObamaCare horror stories, right?

So, the NFL is thinking of moving extra point tries back to the 25 yard line... color us skeptical:

"@Corey0Brien: @deanriehm solution in search of a problem? http://t.co/1a3ghp7OCl" Yep.

http://t.co/PEaUkS4CE7. It just has a gimmicky, XFL vibe to it. 4 pts. for kicking ball into dragon's mouth? @Corey0Brien @Mad_Maxamillion

We don't care whose mug it is being plastered over this nation's flag but please tell us how this is good for a constitutional republic...? oh, that's right a former constitutional republic.

Chess champion on the inevitable ripple effect of botching the Syrian situation last year:

Don't ask about "consequences of inaction" on Ukraine when it is partly consequence of inaction in Syria. Inaction means always a next time.

Internecine squabbles on the left over who was/wasn’t a true socialist, communist, Marxist, fascist… whatever and the explicit definitions of those terms make us all warm and fuzzy inside…

@mrgeology Marxism, Socialism, Nazism, Communism, Maoism... all subverted the rights & liberties of the ind. to that of the state.. all bad

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) March 5, 2014

@mrgeology ... in other words... semantics.

@mrgeology I have found that logic helpful when dealing with statist-apologists who argue "Well, Person 'X' wasn't a true 'Y'".

Yes! A thousand times over.
