In an almost party-line vote, the Senate Finance Committee decided not to post the language of their health-care reform bill online. It’s not just that this move is an anathema to the open-government pledges that every politician claims to strive for when they’re up for re-election, it’s the absolute lameness of the excuse of why […]
Those are the words, when they come out of President Barack Obama’s mouth, should clue you in to the fact that he hasn’t said it before – he’s merely changing his mind. If you hadn’t noticed, the war in Afghanistan isn’t all unicorns and rainbows. There’s more than three months left in the year and […]

The main evidence to back up this charge was the perfectly legal firing of a handful of U.S. Attorneys who serve at the pleasure of the president. The media breathlessly wrote story after story, based on […]
There’s been a big brouhaha in the media in the days after President Obama’s address to a joint session of Congress in which he didn’t say anything new on the subject of health care.
