Oregon Health Plan asks woman: Have you considered... →

Yes, this is a re-post, but I think it bears repeating: according to the Oregon Health Plan, it’s the duty of elderly and sickly people to JUST DIE. And in case they’re not dying fast enough, the people of Oregon will pay for doctors to kill them. After her oncologist prescribed a cancer drug that would cost $4,000 a month, the newspaper reported, “Wagner was notified that the...

P. F. Chang's Serves Up Diarrhea & Vomiting →

I hate, hate, hate the P. F. Chang’s restaurant in Bridgeport Village, Tualatin, OR. My admittedly harsh reaction stems from an attempted visit last Spring, when they misled my family about the waiting time for a table. They originally told us it’d be a 45 minute wait. Over 90 minutes later, when we still hadn’t been seated (and we’d watched 4 or 5 groups give up and leave...

The advantages/disadvantages of Zipcar →

Lifehacker calls attention to the Zipcar car-sharing phenomenon. As usual, the comments are the best part of the post (my reflections are the 5th ones down, under “khiddy”). When I sold my car earlier this year, it was mainly due to the economic impact of having access to a Zipcar on campus. I hope Zipcar recaptures some of the excellent customer service and pricing advantages that...

Watch

When I was a kid, Saturday nights were for one thing: The Love Boat, followed by Fantasy Island. I recall one episode of Fantasy Island that scared the bejesus out of me, with the ghosts and the screaming and the involuntary loss of sphincter control. I vividly remember hiding behind the couch while the infernal racket blared from the TV. I know other kids of my age remember the episode as the...

The Vindication of Humanae Vitae →

Drawing upon secular sources, author Mary Eberstadt illustrates that Pope Paul VI’s visionary encyclical Humanae Vitae correctly predicted what would happen when contraception became legal and widespread. As we honor the 40th anniversary of the encyclical (dated July 25th, 1968), it’s high time to look back and see what evil has been wrought by The Pill. Artificial contraception...

Hiding Brutal Reality in Language

Michael Kinsley’s July 21st, 2008 column in Time Magazine spoke about Hillary supporters who won’t vote for the other candidate as “taking their revenge on… women who need abortions”. Why not just write, “babies who need to be killed”, Mr. Kinsley? It’s the same thing! Earlier in the same issue of the magazine, there was a piece about the far...
