While Politifact.com has determined that President Barack Obama has not really broken his promise not to raise taxes on the bottom 95 percent of by passing an increase in the cigarette tax, other liberals are convinced it's just a matter of time. Looking at the gap between revenues and costs for Obama's health care plans, […]

The big news over the weekend didn't make the major network newscasts. Instead, it was left to the blogs and less prominent news sources. For those unaware, bankruptcy lawyer Tom Lauria reported Friday that Auto czar Steve Rattner had threatened Chrysler investors who are not TARP recipients with the ire of the White House Press […]

It took less than a week for now-Democrat Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania to start sounding like his cohorts Sen. John Kerry and former Sen.

Lindsey Graham in the past, but he's right on this one: The Geneva Convention did not apply, until 2005, to the war on terror. Now, he's off by a year -- it should be 2006. However, […]

Unlike 90 percent of bloggers and pundits who have spent the past couple of weeks expressing outrage at the "torture" memos, I actually took the time to read them. They're not exactly fun reading, so I understand why people would be reticent. However, if you're going to decry the "torture" that they approved, you should […]

Stealth Justice David Souter will retire. Souter got his seat on the Supreme Court by snookering President George H. W. Bush with an assist from Warren Rudman. If you're wondering just how radical President Barack Obama's views are, just wait to see who he nominates.

Earlier this month I noted that the Associated Press' "Fact Check" feature was more critical of President Barack Obama than Politifact.com's when it came to whether or not the increased cigarette tax violated Obama's pledge not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000.
