Steppenwolf’s Tenderness
Steppenwolf’s Tenderness. My all-time favorite Steppenwolf song. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any extant video of John Kay actually singing this song—at least not on YouTube or anywhere in the searchable Internet—but this version has actual video of Steppenwolf, so it’s a step up from strange, amateur videos that show nothing but a [...]

Why the Stupak Amendment to the Healthcare Reform Bill Is Unconstitutional
Could this be the tip of the iceberg of unintended consequences of federalized health care? Health insurers have long prevented the infertile from having coverage for their disease, forcing us to pay out of pocket for necessary health care.
