Dan at Gay Patriot has an interesting post on how Ted Kennedy saved a girl from the Soviet medical system, which could not treat her disease. Fair enough, Teddy saved a girl (I’m resisting the urge to mention …. well you know).

I am familiar with the Soviet medical system, at le...

This is the second in a series of posts analyzing randomly selected provisions in HR3200, the House Democratic health care restructuring bill. In the prior post, I examined the almost incomprehensible section 1721 concerning payments to primary care practitioners.

The page selected for this post, using the dartboard method, is page 692...

No one has been able to get a full grasp on the scope of the health care system restructuring proposed by the Democrats. I have written extensively on some of the more interesting tax provisions, but I only have scratched...

Mathew Yglesias is one of the leading liberal bloggers pushing ObamaCare KennedyCare. Since every Senate vote counts, Yglesias and other KennedyCare promoters need to justify the Massachusetts legislature’s pending flip-flop on how to select a successor to Ted Kennedy, to allow the Democratic Governor to appoint a temporary (Democratic) replacement.

Under current...

Almost forgot that Bill Ayers glorified the killer of Robert Kennedy, but thanks to a commenter at Tim Blair’s blog, it’s time to remember:

“Is now the time to remind everyone,” emails KP, “th...

Barack Obama is on vacation. That’s fine. It’s a high-pressure job, and a little relaxation is a good thing. But White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton is not doing such a great job substituting for Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

In defending Obama’s plans for a second vacation, Burton said that Obama...

CNN and MSNBC have been covering the Ted Kennedy death virtually non-stop. But it’s not working out so well, per L.A. Times:

Fox News maintained its top ranking among the cable news channels Wednesday as its competitors turned most of their coverage over to the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy. The event...

Steve Benen at Washington Monthly’s Political Animal blog complains that conservatives are working off some pre-determined script as to Ted Kennedy’s death:

“It looks like word went out yesterday about what leading conservative voices should say about Ted Kennedy’s death: complain about the memorial service that hasn’t happened yet.”

Benen then cites several...

Four years ago, someone published photos of a guy dancing on Ronald Reagan’s grave. The photos were posted also at the “Princess Sp...

As of August 24, 2009, the two Democratic draft health care restructuring bills were horrible monstrosities which contained a myriad of pernicious tax and other provisions which put at risk the well-being of hundreds of millions of Americans while doing precious little to help the 10-15 million chronically uninsured. For the...

The Telegraph newspaper in Britain has details on a new report just released by the Patients Association which reveals one aspect of the health care crisis in Britain:

In the last six years, the Patients Association claims hundreds of thous...

How to react to Ted Kennedy’s death? There certainly is an initial inclination to react the way so many left-wing blogs reacted to the death of Robert Novak, such as this post at the prominent Crooks and Liars:

Novak will perhaps be best remembered — if at all — as one of...

More tax mischief surfaces, once again, when the pending House health care bill is squeezed. This analysis by a tax lawyer at the law firm of Cleary Gottlieb shows that when various cross-referenced provisions are read together, the House bill limits the discretion of the IRS to waive penalties for honest...

Remember when Tea Parties and health care protests were derided as AstroTurf because some conservative groups gave logistical support? So what do you call it when the Democratic National Committee “organizes” and “plans” 500 protests, including the use of “professionally staffed” protests? From Politico:

Faced with a souring public mood on health...

Widespread abuse has been alleged, including one incident when they threatened a detainee “with a chainsaw as his autistic daughter looked on,” ano...
