In his ever-expanding effort to find ways to fund his liberal programs, President Barack Obama is considering an incredibly stupid and morally bankrupt proposal. Veterans groups are angry after President Obama told them Monday that he is still considering a proposal to have treatment for service-connected injuries charged to veterans private insurance plans.

Three random items of interest: The United States vaunted military-industrial complex has apparently forgotten the technical knowledge necessary to make Trident missiles. Robert P. George and Eric Cohen on President Barack Obama's odious embryonic stem cell research funding decision.

Outnumbered, the Green Berets […]
President-elect Barack Obama announced the people he plans to nominate for a variety of positions in his administration earlier today. Oddly enough, it appears that he is going to pay Hillary Rodham Clinton less to serve as Secretary of State than he would just about anyone else for the same job. (See the "Saxbe fix" […]
