O-Care driving good doctors to quit
Last week, politicians who helped craft the Affordable Care Act celebrated the third anniversary of that monstrosity which will soon extinguish health care as we've known it. The president's promises about the ACA saving money and allowing you to keep your existing health plan are proving false, as many predicted. The 2013 Deloitte Survey of more than 600 doctors found that "Six in 10 physicians (62 percent) said it is likely many of their colleagues will retire earlier than planned in the next one to three years Read it all

Barack Obama's Diary: Booed
Dear Diary: I went the Elite 8 game in DC and when I was shown on the Jumbotron there were loud boos from many in the crowd. I am so indignant that I am almost beside myself with rage. Curious expression is it not? "Beside yourself", I mean. When I am beside myself, my indignation quickly turns to admiration as I find myself next to a brilliant, handsome, witty man. Where was I? Oh, yes the booing. Who are these scum upon whom I have lavished, Obamacare, foodstamps and the threat of war from a tinpot dictator whom we could wipe out faster than I can say Jung-un. There can be only Un. That's funny, though I say so myself and I do. But enough about me.
Game crowd booed Obama

Planned Parenthood OKs 'post birth abortion'
Florida legislators considering a bill to require abortionists to provide medical care to an infant who survives an abortion were shocked during a committee hearing this week when a Planned Parenthood official endorsed a right to post-birth abortion. Alisa LaPolt Snow, the lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, testified that her organization believes the decision to kill an infant who survives a failed abortion should be left up to the woman seeking an abortion and her abortion doctor.

A salesman stopped at a local bar for a cold one, and sat down between two older weather-beaten cowboys. On TV, a media celebrity was fawning over 0bamacare. The salesman said to the cowboy on his right, "Man, that 0bama is a real horse's ass!"
The cowboy stood up and knocked him off his bar-stool and walked out.
The salesman got up, dusted of the sawdust, sat back down and after a few moments silence turned to the cowboy on his left and said, "Man, I 'm telling you, that 0bama is a real horse's ass!"
That cowboy got up, knocked the salesman off his stool onto the floor and also walked out.
The salesman finished his beer and asked the bartender, "Whats the matter with those two cowboys? Is this 0bama country?" The bartender said: "Nope. Horse country."

Americans fleeing to freer conservative states
Americans are migrating from less-free liberal states to more-free conservative states, where they are doing better economically, according to a new study published Thursday by the George Mason University's Mercatus Center, reports John Merline of Investor's Business Daily.
The "Freedom in the 50 States" study measured economic and personal freedom using a wide range of criteria, including tax rates, government spending and debt, regulatory burdens, and state laws covering land use, union organizing, gun control, education choice and more.
It found that the freest states tended to be conservative "red" states, while the least free were liberal "blue" states. Read more:

Barack Obama's Diary: Common-sense

After that I met the leaders of four African nations: Sierra Leone, Senegal, Malawi and Cape Verde. I always feel rather uncomfortable among African Africans in Africa, which means being part of the majority rather than a minority. I asked the President of Cape Verde about Nelson Mandela's health. Awkwaard. It turns out that Cape Verde is not the Cape at the southern tip of South Africa, but a group of islands in the Atlantic about 500 miles off the west African coast [in other words, dudes, the middle of nowhere where nobody with common-sense would live, so I didn't linger with him.] But enough about me.

We are demanding that laws be enacted protecting our 1st amendment [rights]. We are asking President Obama to fulfill his promise from his first campaign for Presidency of a transparent government. Lastly we are asking for the release of the 9/11 commission report to the American people." More

Barack Obama's Diary: To hava, or to hava not
Dear Diary: We hosted guests for Passover seder this evening, I immediately regretted inviting Joe who regaled us with tales of meeting the Pope. I tried to distract our guests with a rousing rendition of Hava Nagila. But, no sooner had I loudly uttered the word "Hava" when an aide whispered urgently to me, "Wrong occasion, Sir". Awkwaard. I had forgotten that seders are not a celebration but about Exodus, the Jews leaving Egypt. I have been to Egypt several times, but no-one gives me credit for leaving. But enough about me. Syria has a murderous dictator, backed by Iran and Russia, with chemical weapons at his disposal, fighting against a domestic insurgency that includes radical Islamists. No worries: Bibi will sort it out, like he always does.

Why Earth Hour is a global farce
"Earth Hour shows how far we have come from celebrating human accomplishment to celebrating the lack of accomplishment as an accomplishment. For all the pretense of activism, environmentalism celebrates inaction. Don't build, don't create and don't do-- are its mandates. Turn off the lights and feel good about how much you aren't doing right now. Environmentalism has degenerated into a conviction that all human activity is destructive because the species of man is the greatest threat to the planet and all life on it"....Read it all.

America's incredible, exploding disability-industrial complex
In the past few decades, an entire disability-industrial complex has emerged. It has just one goal: Push more people onto disability. And, sometimes, it seems like the government is outmatched. This is especially true in the legal system, NPR reports. Daytime TV in many places is full of ads from lawyers who promise to fight the government and win the disability benefits 'you deserve.'
There is one man who takes much of the credit for this industry: Charles Binder. Most people who applied for disability were denied and never had a hearing. Binder, and the lawyers who followed him, changed that. "I've created some of the problems for the government because so many people appeal," Binder says.
When he started in 1979, Binder represented fewer than 50 clients. Last year, his firm represented 30,000 people. Last year, Binder and Binder made $68.7 million in fees for disability cases. Full report here. [Thanks: BJS]

Barack Obama's Diary: Stoned in Jordan
Dear Diary: I have spent today in Jordan as the guest of King Abdullah. I found the city of Petra fascinating. It's carved from stone, somewhat like Mount Rushmore except, instead of faces of presidents, Petra is a secret town carved into orange-brown sandstone. As I walked through it I found myself wondering if there is enough room on Mount Rushmore for one more face. Some people have rightly suggested that I deserve to be represented there, but they cruelly questioned if there was enough rock-face left to accommodate my ears. All the official handshaking had made me nervous. When everybody was looking upwards at the carved doors and windows, I took a quick squirt of Purrell sanitizer from Marvin Nicholson's pocket and rubbed it over my fingers. I'm not good at shaking hands with strangers, particularly Arabs --whose ablution rituals I don't fully understand. Soon I will re-board Air Force One and be safely on my way home, back to the comforts of DC and the White House kitchen. Sob! I even miss Michelle's broccoli. But enough about me...

After the scrolls I was taken to Ramalla on Palestinian soil with John Kerry for a meeting with Mahmoud Abbas the content of which is for me to know and others to speculate about. As we waited for the press to be rolled in to witness a pre-meeting photo op at the Muqata Presidential Compound there was an awkward silence which I filled by whistling Hava Nagila under my breath. Abbas turned a curious shade of crimson. Dudes, this part of the world is so confusing that I forgot it is a Jewish celebration song. Awkwaard. John Kerry stepped up to the plate.: "Nice tie, Mr President," he said to Abbas, who appeared flustered and unsure how to handle a compliment. I am staying at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem tonight. I have my blankie Boo-boo with me and I will rub his satin edge along my cheek, as I suck my thumb and sleep the carefree sleep of the innocent with a posse of Secret servicemen on guard at various strategic points.

Ssssh! It's a Democrat scandal
As the scandal surrounding Senator Bob Menendez, D-N.J., grows into a steady drip, drip, drip of increasingly damaging stories for Senate Democrats (following an FBI raid of a top Democratic donor's offices), we learn that this sordid story extends far beyond the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In an extensively-reported story, Politico broke the news that the Democratic donor at the heart of the scandal, Dr. Salomon Melgen, also extensively courted other top Democrats, including President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who flew on Melgen's private jet at least once last year. Melgen also donated $700,000 last year to Majority PAC, a Democratic Super PAC that ran TV ads in support of many Democratic Senate candidates in 2012. The Democrat response to all this?

Barack Obama's Diary: A puzzling day
Dear Diary: I am retiring to bed after a busy, but puzzling day in Israel. Possibly I am being paranoid but, in the immortal words of Joe Biden there's no such thing as a coincidence. First someone fuels The Beast with diesel instead of gasoline. Then a magnolia tree I brought with me for a ceremonial planting with President Perez was untimely ripped from the ground as soon as we had left the scene, because Israeli agricultural officials insisted on inspecting it for signs of disease. In truth, I almost admire their bureaucratic zeal, almost on a par with our FDA. Then Bibi Netanyahu had me to dinner and addressed the press afterwards saying that it was a pleasure to welcome me after having enjoyed my hospitality many times in Washington. I can never tell with Bibi if he is being sarcastic. But enough about me.

Here I am in Tel Aviv after an overnight flight from DC aboard Taxpayer One. I like making my grand exit from the aircraft, through the forward door .

Meanwhile, my lackeys and aides disembark through a rear door.
Bibi was waiting for me on the tarmac. He bared his teeth at me in an agonized semblance of a smile. "Slalom", I said in the Hebrew, I had practiced on a Rosetta Stone CD on my trip. "I think you mean shalom," said Bibi. Awkwaard...
But worse was to come, dudes. My limo, known as "The Beast" has been filled with the wrong fuel, so it won't start. I'll Bush is to blame. Fortunately there is another Beast waiting for me in Jordan and it is being flown here. But enough about me.

"It's Enda not Edna" Awkwaard... I immediately burst into song to distract Edna Enda. "With a shillelagh under me arm and a twinkle in me eye, I'll be off to Tipperary in the morning." Enda was impressed.

President Obama in 2009 told federal agencies that no-bid contracts were “wasteful’’ and “inefficient.’’ Four years later, his administration spent more money on non-competitive contracts than ever before, according to The Washington Post.

When bureaucracy crushes compassion
The 911 call between an emergency dispatcher and a nurse at a California retirement home is so chilling, so horrifying, I had to listen to it twice to make sure I had heard right -- it so defied the most basic tenets of compassion and human decency, writes Ana Veciana Suarez. On the tape, Bakersfield fire dispatcher Tracey Halvorson can be heard pleading with a caller from Glenwood Gardens Retirement Facility to perform CPR on an 87-year-old resident who had collapsed in the dining room. When the dispatcher asks if the woman is breathing, the nurse replies, "Barely." The dispatcher tells the nurse to start CPR, but the nurse refuses. She says staff is not permitted to perform CPR at the facility. (I guess that's like saying, "Sorry, I can't stop to help the bleeding motorist by the road because the traffic sign on the shoulder says 'No Stopping or Standing.'") Read more here.

I like to keep my relationships with other leaders informal and relaxed, so I sent him this message: "Dear Frank: On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I send warm good wishes to you and Mrs. Francis and may all your troubles be little ones. I see that there is a golf course at Pavone, near Castel Gandolfo. I look forward to playing a few rounds with you there.
