I know everyone thinks I’m going to say last night was a referendum and Obama’s toast. But, I’m not going to just toss that out there. This is what I do think. A lot of people talked about NY-23 like it meant something. The entire race was fubar for all concerned. You had a Democrat [...]

Just got the numbers for the Medicaid add-on from the stimulus package. I don’t deal with Medicaid directly, but it indirectly affects what I do in a large way. As such, I was interested in the numbers. However, the bigger picture bugged me more than the dollars I was assigned to look at. In essence, [...]
