Upon further review...
I'm not going to do a radio show today. Just wanted to let you know.This blog isn't dead, nor is the radio show; they're just dormant. With moving, unpacking, and now holiday plans, blogging just hasn't been high on my list of priorities. And, frankly, it's highly unlikely that I'll be doing any significant blogging during the remainder of November.

Thanks as always for your patience.

Radio webcast today. But I'll plan to be back with you next week for all the snarky goodness that you've come to know and love tolerate.Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Jeff Miller: opposes House health care bill but hasn't read it
I'm not sure whether it's because he won't read it or can't read it, but U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Land That Time Forgot) has managed yet again to make me wonder how he got elected to Congress in the first place. He hasn't read the House Democrats' proposed health care reform bill, but he still knows he doesn't like it:The bill, crafted by House Democratic leaders, would provide insurance by 2019 to 36 million Americans who are currently uninsured, though the details, are, of course, numerous.The bill contains about 400,000 words — more than double
