Keep On Message

Assigned Reading: Boehner Blasts Barack Obama’s Olympic Move (FROM: Politico) Let me be clear that I’m not pleased to see the president jetting off to Copenhagen to advocate for Chicago as host of the 2016 Olympic Games when there truly is so much to be done here at home, not the least of which is [...]

Jews, Israel and the Obama Administration

By Randy Wills America’s Right One of the things which struck me as I researched the linkages associated with President Obama and his administration was the exceptionally high–relative to the ethnic percentage of the U.S. population at large–number of Jews.

Grab a sippy cup, sit down, and shut up.

I need to take a moment to address this mental midget. Congressman Grayson: First, I’d like a third party to take a look at the paper you scooped up thinking that it was a GOP plan for health care reform. You argued that it was blank. I’d argue that you’re probably illiterate and wouldn’t know [...]

Even Without Public Option, Baucus Bill Hardly Toothless

The good news this evening is that the Senate Finance Committee twice today shot down attempts to include a government-run insurance option in one particular health care reform measure currently working its way through committee.

Diagnosis: Hyperbole

Assigned Reading: Obama’s Phony Health Care Horror Stories(FROM: Newsmax) One of President Barack Obama’s healthcare “horror stories” is about a woman who, he says, lost her health insurance on the verge of breast cancer surgery because she didn’t disclose a case of acne to the insurer. That’s not what happened. [...]She “was about to get [...]

Adult Strength and Adolescent Weakness

I’ve been after John Feeny for a while. The first e-mail I received from him–and, yes, I still have it–was on January 23, only three days after Barack Obama was inaugurated. “If I can see the craziness that is beginning to unfold before our very eyes, then everybody else should as well,” he wrote. “Or, [...]
