Perhaps some bloggers, would jump at the easy money. But me? I don’t want their $100. I’d rather just write about it.

When it comes to ObamaCare, unlike many in the media, Paul Nance knows what he’s talking about. In this short guest piece for ThePublicProfessor.com, he explains why much of what you’ve heard about it is wrong.

Last week, I ranted about the Olympics.  Sarah Culpepper Stroup offers a response.  An Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Washington, Culpepper Stroup is also on the faculty of Jewish Studies and Comparative Religion departments, and she leads an archaeological field school at Tel Dor, Israel.  Her last book is entitled Catullus, Cicero, and a Society of Patrons.  And for the record, I strive very hard to not be a liberal.  Though I often fail.   I’m tired of hearing liberal, academic sorts bitch and moan about the Olympics, which is precisely what I’ve been hearing for, oh, pretty much the past five weeks or so.  It goes something like this: OMG, the sports! I don’t even like sports! OMG, I don’t even watch television, but it’s all that’s on television! (Did you get the part about how I’m so intellectual I don’t really watch TV?). OMG, it’s all anyone can talk about! It’s even on NPR! (Notice that I listen to NPR; did you get that?) OMG, it’s so commercial, political; so . . . athletic! OMG, Who gives a shit?  Not me!
