too much awesome
(h/t Hot Air)
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, ladies and gentlemen (on the must-pass health care bill):
You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care [...]
fratricide
While we can all agree Rahm Emanuel is not the most warm and cuddly guy in politics, this Eric Massa sounds like a real jerk, and it doesn’t surprise me that these two hate each other’s guts. It seems that the Democrats just can’t help themselves when it comes to the fratricide now in progress [...]
heading toward the cliff
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is willing to sacrifice the political futures of her fellow House Democrats in order to get the health care bill passed. That’s generous of her, and the Republicans will absolutely accept that result. I just wonder how many left-leaning true believers are left in the Democratic Congress. The answer [...]
i don’t get it
Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) won’t seek re-election to the Senate.
Looks like the Democrat juggernaut is running into a few problems on its way to liberal utopia. It’s not just Republican obstructionists or tea partiers getting in the way of the Democrat agenda. Some Democrats, like Evan Bayh, object to the focus of this administration being [...]
well…yeah
What Alan Bock said in the OC Register:
It’s not that there isn’t a good deal of truth in such criticisms of the ways of a “Washington” he invoked more as an epithet than a place. But at what point does a president of the United States take responsibility for his part in feeding the atmosphere [...]
brown wins
Congratulations to Senator-elect Brown. Nice win in one of the bluest of blue states in the nation. Who would have thought that Massachusetts of all states would possibly save us from ObamaCare? Amazing.
With that said, this is another case of a generally unappealing Democratic candidate, who demonstrated how out of touch she was with the [...]
unintentional comedy
Courtesy of the LA Times:
that’s a scary proposition
CBS newsman Bob Schieffer says that “Real security is built on trust in the government.” He actually wrote that! Read it here.
Trust in the government. That’s a scary proposition if you really think about it. The more bureaucracy you add to deal with a potential crisis, the more likely it is that the potential crisis [...]
flawed concept
Reason’s Jacob Sullum says there should be no fundamental right to health care.
A right to health care thus requires the government to infringe on people’s liberty rights by commandeering their talents, labor, and earnings. And since new subsidies will only exacerbate the disconnect between payment and consumption that drives health care inflation, such interference is bound to increase [...]
lighten up scrooge
Now for something a little different and somewhat holiday-themed…
Eventually it would come to this – someone is compelled to attack the lifestyle and behavior of Santa Claus. Honestly, there’s just no good excuse for that.
Some “public health expert” in Australia says that Santa is a bad example for children. The charges against St. Nick include [...]
