Introducing ObamaCare 2.0: The 2,309-Page Scam That Will Live in Infamy

Philip Klein of the American Spectator: Shortly before midnight on Sunday, Democrats released a 2,309 page health care bill that will start the process of reconciliation — but don’t let that fool you, it’s not the actual reconciliation bill with all the changes you’ve been reading about. Instead, as Rep. Paul Ryan, the ranking Republican […]

‘Does All of This Activism Matter?’

When I saw this linked by Dan Riehl, I was frankly stunned that an impressive turnout for a rally in St. Paul inspired Powerline’s John Hinderaker to suggest citizens protesting against ObamaCare “won’t stop the Democrats from doing whatever they have to do to pass a government takeover bill.” Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Mr. Hinderaker: No coach ever went into the locker room […]

If You Haven’t Been Groped by Eric Massa Yet, Please Raise Your Hand

OK, let’s do a count . . . uh, so far, looks like I’m the only one: [I]n conversations yesterday and today with some of Massa’s Navy shipmates, it became clear that the behavior toward his subordinates that got Massa into trouble in Congress is part of pattern that dates to his time in the Navy. […]

Quote Of The Day

by Smitty From Basil at IMAO How can Congress possibly balance the federal budget without raising taxes? It’s easy. Make Congress make up for any shortfall in the budget. Take it out of their pay.

As The System Of Checks And Balances Disintegrates, Congress Becomes A Messy Signing Statement

by Smitty The Purple Avenger over at AoS seems kinda shocked that, once Harry Reid pulls his finger out of the dike, a flood of Really Bad Ideas follows, as captured in the WSJ.  In this particular case, it’s the Federal takeover of education.  Got to make sure that the tender collegiate brains are programmed […]

What Is The Appropriate Level Of Census Participation?

by Smitty Via Drudge, the AP has an interesting bit on the Patriot Act vs. the Census: In a letter to Congress, the Obama administration provided its legal position that census data cannot be disclosed under the Patriot Act, the nation’s main counterterrorism law. The government has previously given legal assurances the information will not […]
