The reason? A treaty signed by the U.S. that commits to limiting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as a measure to protect the ozone layer.<br /><br />Of course, if every asthmatic on earth simultaneously sprayed an entire Primatene inhaler with reckless abandon, it would result in precisely zero effect on the ozone layer. But alas, ozone is not the point.<br /><br />A few years ago, the old tried-and-true generic albuterol inhaler was also pulled, citing the international treaty. Conveniently, pharmaceutical manufacturers immediately unveiled the "new" albuterol (non-generic, of course). It doesn't work as well as the old stuff, and it costs about twenty times as much. Quite a coup.<br /><br />Follow the money, as usual.

<br />
<br />As recently as one week ago, I would have considered your entry into the Presidential race a welcome miracle. Now I begin to wonder if I might have been too hasty in my opinion of you.
<br />
<br />I am not suggesting that you aren't everything I thought. Your "Cut, Cap, and Balance" plan, although doomed from the beginning, had the sort of defiant-in-the-face-of-certain-defeat that characterizes the Thermopylaean position true conservatives face these days: facing an uneducated army of looters, moochers, union thugs, and race-baiters, led by ideologically-driven college professors, "community organizers" etc.
<br />
<br />Then I read <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/big-names-encourage-paul-ryan-run_590322.html">this Weekly Standard article</a>, and it gave me pause.
<br />
<br />If your closest friends and confidants include this brand of political elites, then I fear I misjudged you. I mean, come on; let's be honest. It is exactly this crowd that began our slide into this mess...not to take anything away from our current President, who turned our skid into a full-on, fishtailing, multiple turn-over interstate crash, of course.
<br />
<br />But if we are ever to get out of this mess, you might want to consider talking to people for advice who have a bit more credibility as real conservatives, and not just the New England Yacht Club.
<br />
<br />Sincerely,
<br />MOCKBADOC

In fact, I think I'd like to just hang out with Ron Paul and his son Rand. I really can't think of a single issue on which I think he is simply dead wrong. And while I consider myself a Constitutionalist more than a Libertarian, I feel that his presence in the office of President would be a wonderful thing for the office.
<br />
<br />However...
<br />
<br />All of this having been said, I just don't see how he could ever beat Obama in a general election. There are a number of reasons for this, in my opinion.
<br />
<br /><ol><li>While a very intelligent man with very well-considered (and correct) opinions on a myriad of issues, his delivery lacks a certain something. He comes off a bit whiny and a bit professorial at times. Like it or not, leaders have to have a bit of <span style="font-style: italic;">gravitas</span>, and I fear he may be a bit lacking in that department</li><li>Tea Party aside, many in our country - and it is to our shame, incidentally - just simply don't see the sort of danger we are in as a country. For these citizens, voting someone who openly advocates the sort of austerity measures he does would be nearly impossible.</li><li>Obama, for all his obvious flaws, can absolutely count on his Mooter and Looter Coalition to vote for him to keep the hand-outs coming just a little longer. Whoever we nominate to oppose him <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">must be able to unite a vast coalition of people</span></span>, not just little bits and pieces of the conservative-leaning people in the country.</li></ol>In my humble opinion, Ron Paul has been a wonderful thing for the Conservative movement despite these facts, and despite (and probably <span style="font-style: italic;">because</span>) he has not been, and likely never will be the Republican nominee for President. So thank you, Mr. Ron Paul. Thank you for being a wonderful, brilliant man with equally brilliant ideas and a wonderful heart. But please don't start undermining one of the other nominees that almost certainly <span style="font-style: italic;">will</span> be the person running against Obama next year. Another 4 years of that maniac will be our end, and despite what you may think about your Republican opponents, <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">any one of them would be better than four more years of Obama</span></span>.
<br />
<br />So let's all make nice and get behind Rick Perry, even if some of you have to hold your noses to vote for him. He beats the hell out of the alternative. Then, we'll hold his feet to the fire like we never did with Bush, and we Conservatives will <span style="font-style: italic;">make a good President out of him</span>, whether he likes it or not. My gut tells me that he will be great (one way or another).

People generally do tend to get promoted for a job well-done. And since the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) mission is, apparently, to kill American civilians, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-atf-guns-20110816,0,7676977.story">these guys really do deserve to be promoted</a>. The brilliance of their success lies in the fact that Americans will continue to be gunned down by Mexican drug smugglers with ATF guns for decades to come. Well played, gentlemen.
<br />
<br />It should be noted, however, that bonus points would have been given if they'd been able to (a) shoot someone's children with a sniper rifle or (b) burn a bunch of people and their children alive. Keep up the good work, guys.

hope you all will forgive me if I take a moment to review something that should be rather elementary.</p> <p>When politicians speak of “insurance”, you must be careful not to fall for their favorite trick:  lying.</p> <p>Let’s take this phrase, which has become incredibly popular:</p> <p>“You will not be denied insurance on the basis of pre-existing conditions.”</p> <p>Sounds wonderful, right?  I mean, that’s the whole problem with those pesky insurance companies.  Denials.</p> <p>Okay.  So here’s where it gets a bit weird.  What exactly do you think insurance is?  It is a way of diffusing risk.  The first step in “insuring” someone is to assess their particular level of risk.  For example, when you apply for life insurance, they are certain to ask you if you smoke.  Why?  Because people who smoke die sooner than those who do not.  They take the information you provide, then assess your risk and assign an amount they feel will cover that risk.  That is your premium – the amount you must pay to have them insure you.  The idea is that the premium should be less, in general, than the costs of having something bad happen to you.</p> <p>So when people talk about removing the pre-existing condition concept from insurance, they are actually talking about something <em>other</em> than insurance.  No insurance company will insure your car, for example, after the wreck has already occurred.</p> <p>So what will happen?  If insurance companies are forced to cover pre-existing conditions, this must simply be added into their computer program that spits out an amount of money that will balance that risk.  It is quite literally impossible for this <em>NOT</em> to raise premiums.</p> <p>Insurance that has no mechanism for assessing and pricing risk is not insurance.  It is welfare.  Words are important.</p>

celebrate the past, present, and future of the U.S. Marine Corps.  If you want to feel proud of your country again, do an image search (or better yet a video search) on Bing or Google for “US Marines”.  I guarantee you will smile, laugh, and probably cry.  They should make us all so very proud.  I am blessed to have been able to be a tiny part of that grand history.</p> <p align="justify">Tonight, I will drink a toast to the Corps.  I will say a prayer (as my family does often) for their safety, guidance, wisdom, bravery, and success.  And I will look forward to the day when they can all come home to their loving families and friends ‘stateside’.</p> <p align="justify">God Bless the U.S. Marines.</p>

News!<p>According the the New York Times, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/01/business/01tarp.html?_r=1">the TARP bailout programs are likely to cost nothing in the end.</a></p> <p>That’s right.  I said NOTHING.  In fact, they may even net us little people (the slightly more than 50% of us who actually <em>pay</em> taxes) a tidy little profit.</p> <p>So I guess I’ll just kick back, relax, and wait for my refund check from good ol’ President Barry from his “stash”.</p> <p>Should I hold my breath?</p>

Shots Fired at the Second Amendment.<p align="justify"><a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/gunned-down-in-vegas-what-really-happened-to-erik-scott/">Costco owes the whole country an apology, but especially the family of this innocent American hero.</a></p> <p align="justify">Illegally crossing an international border and committing theft of tax dollars?  No longer a crime.</p> <p align="justify">But minding your own damned business, shopping, and exercising the Constitutional rights that you have put your own life on the line for?  Apparently a capital offense, at least in Sin City.  Come to think of it, that may be the only thing you can get in trouble for in Vegas.</p> <p align="justify">If the same rules of engagement placed on our military were placed on the Las Vegas police, this guy would have gone home that night and slept in his own bed.  And if more people exercised their Constitutional right to pack heat like this poor soldier did, the police wouldn’t have to be so aggressive when responding to a scene – the Citizenry would have already gotten things under control.</p> <p align="justify">I am a huge supporter of the police, almost all the time.  It’s an extremely difficult and largely thankless job under horrible conditions.  This, however, definitely sounds like a bit of a hair trigger, IMHO.</p> <p align="justify">Rest in peace, sir.  I have a sinking feeling that a lot more of us won’t be far behind.</p>
