If you haven’t read this brief post by Victor Davis Hanson over at National Review Online, then you should do so now. A sample: Any initial delight that the world's masses found in a post-national, post-racial, charismatic young American president will begin to be eclipsed by their leaders' realpolitik calculations, both old friends and enemies […]
Last year, when one iteration of the health care bill introduced us to “comparative effectiveness panels” that would decide on what sorts of medical treatments would get paid for under the new health care regime, former Alaska Gov.

Nope. I’ve decided it’s going after the quote from Mediaite: From: Griffin, Phil (NBC Universal) Sent: Wed 4/07/10 11:16 PM Sorry, but this is a business and I need team players.
