President Barack Obama lives in the kind of world that I’d love to live in. Everyone (except those Tea Partiers) is reasonable and considers first the common good for all humanity. No one seeks to enrich themselves at their neighbor’s expense. No one seeks revenge over ancient insults. No nation dominates another. Unfortunately, this is […]

Yesterday was Easter – probably the most holy of days in the Christian religion. It is the day that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. That fact was the focus of services in churches throughout the world, except for one. As Obama worshipped with 700 others for two hours, the parishioners and preachers made him […]

Rep. Hank Johnson, geologist.   Wanna guess his position on the fierce urgency of climate change?

For the record, I recommend Ed Whelan’s article on President Barack Obama’s nominee to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Goodwin Liu. Having said that, where has lawyer Thomas Goldstein, the publisher of SCOTUSblog, been the past 3 decades? Volkoh Conspiracist Jonathan H. Adler sums up Goldstein’s position on the Liu nomination thusly: Goldstein’s central […]

Now that the Obamacare is the law of the land, we’re finally getting an idea of how this is really going to work. As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, they had to pass the bill before we could know what’s in it. So what is in it? Are premiums going to go down 3000 percent […]

UPDATED and BUMPED For those of you who don’t have employer-provided insurance and who have decided to insure your kids instead of yourselves – if this bill becomes law drop the coverage for your kids and get it for yourself.

I keep getting the feeling that the 2010 Census has a secondary purpose of propping up the U.S. Postal Service. First, they send a letter telling you that next week you’ll get the census form. Then you get the census form. The next week they send you a reminder post card to return the census, […]

A few thoughts as it appears that the Democrats have finally managed to bribe, cajole and lie their way to a “victory” on health care “reform” later tonight. Bart Stupak is either not pro-life or stupid. He’s not stupid. Stupak apparently knew this day would come, and accurately predicted that he’s a sell-out. You can […]

I think the American people would really appreciate it if the Democrats could come up with someone to match wits with Rep. Paul Ryan. This sort of thing just isn’t fair. In fact it’s probably a form of elder abuse (as it relates to Reps. Louise Slaughter and Sander Levin) and a hate crime (as […]

In the next 24-48 hours, the House will “vote” and the Senate health care reform bill will be passed – or “deemed” passed. There will be debate and lawsuits to follow as to whether President Obama can sign the Senate bill or whether the Senate must approve the House’s “fixes” first, etc. ad infinitum. Democrats […]
