In an effort to defend the indefensible Obamacare law, the Department of Health and Human Services came out with a report claiming that if Obamacare were repealed, 129 million Americans “could be denied affordable coverage.” Think about that number for a minute. There are approximately 311 million Americans. Those over the age of 65 are […]
I can’t believe I missed this: “We’ve had some incidents where TSA authorities think that congresspeople should be treated like everybody else,” [Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C.] said. “Well, the fact of the matter is, we are held to a higher standard in so many other areas, and I think we need to take a hard […]
A reader forwarded me the link to this Village Voice article defending New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. I encourage you to check it out. It’s hilarious in how it elides all the substantive arguments against Krugman’s knee-jerk, fact-free attempt to blame the Tucson shooting on the political right.

Last week, The Washington Post reported that food prices are going up and some countries are making moves to protect their supplies and keep prices under control.

The bodies of the dead hadn’t even been removed from the parking lot when New York Times columnist Paul […]
Today’s global warming scaremongering brought to you by LiveScience.com: Even if humans stop producing excess carbon dioxide in 2100, the lingering effects of global warming could span the next millennia. The results? By the year 3000, global warming would be more than a hot topic - the West Antarctic ice sheet could collapse, and global […]
Rhode Island governor and former U.S. senator Lincoln Chafee has announced that he won’t be going on talk radio and he’s prohibited all other state employees from appearing on talk radio during working hours too. That’s just fine. This appears to be a reaction to his GOP predecessor who appeared on talk radio frequently as […]
We’ve truly come together as a nation in the wake of last weekend’s tragic shooting that left 6 dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others wounded with some bipartisan stupidity on the part of lawmakers. Let’s remember that Jared Loughner, the accused shooter, is a nut. He is not an angry, enraged partisan. He is […]
