Frog In The Kettle Thing

Slowly turn up the heat on the frog in the kettle and it won't know until it's too late that it's frog soup. We know the principle.

Or do we?

I was reading in the newspaper (how anachronistic of me) that some of our "progressive" Senators have introduced a new bill that would fine people who refuse to buy affordable medical coverage.

Sounds reasonable.

Pfft!

This is… Continue

Here is my list of favorites.
