No time for Kerry's Europhile delusions

"He doesn't seem that old to me."

It was a joke for heavens sake. He is probably 53.

They are a Dominion. The Queen is their head of state.

Does that goose have an ID or a DNC ad on its wing? Where did the Park Ranger really get it?

The write-ups by reporters on the goosehunt photo-op mentioned Canada Geese flying overhead, and hearing shots fired, but that bird looks like a farm goose. I never saw a Canada Goose with a grey chest.

I'm Canadian, so I know a thing or two about prescription drugs from Canada. Specifically speaking, I know they're American; the only thing Canadian about them is the label in French and English. How can politicians from both parties think that Americans can get cheaper drugs simply by outsourcing (as John Kerry would say) their distribution through a Canadian mailing address? U.S. pharmaceutical companies put up with Ottawa's price controls because it's a peripheral market.

I have never understood why the president and RNC wont just say this.(minus the "I'm Canadian" bit)

Do they think that people just cant follow the logic?

[Max Combined]

He has goose blood on his hands.

Good point about the excess of meds being prescribed, but can we promote the raisin regime without getting Mama T in the bargain! LOL!

In the Celcius 41.11 film there are shots of Kerry testifying in 1971. On a BIG screen even fingernails are easy to see, and his fingernails were severely bitten at that point - and he was 27 years old! The man is a creep and always has been.

Spot ON by Steyn. As usual.

I just love those pics from the Kerry goose hunt as photo op. If you look real close at that cammo gear on Kerry you can almost see the price tags still hanging down.

Another home run by Steyn. No one else has ever had the gift for mixing humor, analysis and dead on logic into a seemless column that Steyn does.

Thanks for the ping, Pokey!

Mark Steyn is brilliant! He's one prolific editorialist whose caustic truths I never tire of reading. This one is especially satisfying as he delivered a smashing zinger to The Hildebeast's socialist healthcare proposals and their consequences.

THANK YOU FOR the ping and THIS THREAD!

This has got to be my favorite Steyn article of all! (and I really mean it this time)....
Mark Steyn is a genius, again!

But, if you attempt to extend the price controls from the peripheral market of 30 million people to the primary market of 300 million people, all that's going to happen is that after approximately a week and a half there aren't going to be any drugs in Canada, cheap or otherwise -- just as the Clinton administration's intervention into the flu-shot market resulted in American companies getting out of the vaccine business entirely.

Bump !!

[MeekOneGOP]

One thousand Americans are killed in 18 months in Iraq, and it's a quagmire. One thousand Quebecers are killed by insufficient hand-washing in their filthy, decrepit health care system, and kindly progressive Americans can't wait to bring it south of the border. If one has to die for a cause, bringing liberty to the Middle East is a nobler venture and a better bet than government health care.

Bump again !!

Mark Steyn is simply magnificent!

Even though he is a Canadian, America ought to hire him as our official spokesman!!

[iconoclast]

ROFL!

[beaversmom]

I think he might be joking about his age. I would say he's in his 40's or 50's. If not, he is very well preserved.

[beaversmom]

Thank you so much for your Mark Steyn pings. This one is a goodie but what article isn't that is written by Steyn.

[beaversmom]

This one is a goodie--well what Steyn article isn't?!? Many great points throughout and at the end.
