OBAMACARE & DEPARTING DOCTORS ...
YOUR OFFICIAL DEM CONVENTION PROGRAM
Last night in brief ...
Mitt Romney needed to make a great speech. He did.
Marco Rubio ... future unlimited!
Eastwood? I suppose it worked ... odd, but amusing.

To the surprise of exactly no one, NBC failed to carry part of Rubio's brilliant speech in order to give more air-time to the ancient left-wing hag, Andrea Mitchell, doing another Obama brown-nosing job.

In a bit of unintentional comedy, Barack Obama says -- and probably even believes -- that his biggest failure was not doing a good enough job of selling his disastrous stimulus plan to the public. Riiiight!

Where's that doctor who's going to take care of you under Obamacare? If Britain's National Health Service, upon which Obama's plan is based, serves as an example, the answer may well be ... gone. From Investors Business Daily ...
"Britain is suffering from an exodus of doctors. If America doesn't want physician flight in its future, voters will have to turn President Obama out of office this fall so that repeal of ObamaCare can be possible.
"Last week, the Financial Times reported that its own research revealed that the British National Health Service is suffering a 'brain drain' of doctors as more medics trained at taxpayers' expense choose to pursue their careers overseas.
"More than 8,000 doctors have left since 2008, said the Financial Times. And it's not Britain's problem alone. Nearly 10% of Canadian-trained doctors end up in the U.S."

I was delighted to see that Susan had "Casablanca" on the video recording schedule. I've seen it a hundred times ... never get tired of it. It's the little things. Sydney Greenstreet casually swatting a fly ... Claude Rains collecting his winnings at Rick's ... even the toy airplane climbing into the clouds.
By the way, the movie has never been shown in Morocco. I once asked a cabdriver in Casablanca if there was a "Rick's Cafe" around, figuring some local entrepreneur would have used the name for a tourist-trap. No such. Finally, he thought of one possibility, and drove us to a tiny diner called ... "Rix."

In a crushing blow to American culture, MTV has announced that "Jersey Shore" will be cancelled at the end of the coming season. Ratings down, cast salary demands up ... so MTV's pulling the plug.

There IS light at the end of the tunnel. Football season begins!
Violent people doing potential bodily harm to each other! -- but enough about those company staff meetings; let's talk FOOTBALL!

Jay Leno --
"According to The New York Times, more than half of President Obama's Twitter followers are fake. They don't even exist.
Which is actually a good thing because if they did exist there wouldn't be any jobs for them."
