To mark Earth Day, here’s an altogether appropriate video on how environmentalist scaremongering has resulted in the deaths of millions – mainly Africans.

The so-called dean of the Washington commentariat is still blissfully doing backstrokes in the tank filled with Obama Kool-Aid. We are beginning to learn that the Obama presidency will be an era of substantial but deferred accomplishments — perhaps always to be accompanied by a sense of continuing crisis. His vaunted "cool" allows him to […]

Courtesy of Allahpundit over at Hot Air comes this bit of comedy gold. The law apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees health program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting coverage through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges. But the research service found that this […]

Having just mailed off my check for my federal income taxes, this quote of the day from the Economist doesn’t sit well with me. Politicians use the tax code to encourage things they like, such as driving hybrid cars, and to discourage things they don’t like, such as work.

John Weidner over at RandomJottings makes an excellent point on what will eventually occur as the comparative effectiveness panels under the new health care regime begin to make life and death decisions about medical treatment.

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. Sarah Palin referred to them as “death panels.” That earned her a “Pants on Fire” and “lie […]

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. He [David Shuster] was not moral, ethical or professional and that is not fair to the 500 people who work at msnbc. Thanks for […]

The problem with requiring insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions is that the companies are therefore not really offering “insurance.” If you crash your car and the next day go to Flo at Progressive Insurance, pay your premium and then immediately file a claim, prepare to serve some time in the slammer for fraud.
