Barack Obama loves to try to blame George Bush for our deficits and out of control spending, as if Democratic control of Congress for the last several years, and Obama’s control of the budget this year, had nothing to do with it. So how will Obama blame Bush for this:

Here are some obligatory Sarah Palin morning posts, because while you were sleeping, Palin was inching closer to Barack Obama in the polls, driving the nutroots crazy, getting positive late-night coverage for a change (that should really scare the PDS crowd), and generally having fun:

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and affiliated Susan G. Komen for the Cure spearhead efforts to raise funds for and awareness of breast cancer. Joe Lieberman’s wife, Hadassah, has a compensated position as a “global ambassador.”

The Speech. In Oslo. Oh my. He didn’t apologize, as such. He spoke of a “just war.” Of his obligation as President to defend the country. As if this all were a revelation.

Ooooh. Aaaah. Says the vast right-wing conspiracy, in many and surprising places.

It’s all relative to what we expected.

Dems Need to Come Out of the Single Payer Closet

How often have we heard the left-wing blogs blather about the greatness of Medicare. How often do we hear how happy people are with Medicare, and how that proves that government run health plans should be extended to everyone.

But there is a big, ugly lie underneath those arguments. Medicare underpays doctors...

Harry Reid needs more than a weekend off. Perhaps we should, in the national interest, schedule a series of fundraisers for Reid running through the end of the year.

I say this because scheduling a fundraiser for Reid appears to be the only way to get him to take a time out...

Posted by    Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 9:35am

Over the summer I repeatedly sounded the alarm about one particular aspect of the Democratic health care proposals, the mandate that individuals purchase insurance under threat of penalty or incarceration. At the time I noted the unprecedented nature of the mandate, in my post Taxing Your Mere Existence:

This tax, though, is...

No, not another Tiger Woods post. A “pick me up” as in lifting my spirits just a little as I read the headlines about Harry Reid desperately trying to talk his way into something, anything, Barack Obama can sign prior to the State of the Union address in January.

No one gives Scott Brown, the Republican primary winner, much chance at defeating Martha Coakley, the Democratic nominee. It’s Massachusetts, and it’s to fill Ted Kennedy’s seat.

But keep an eye on Massachusetts. It’s a special election, and turnout could be low as it was in the primaries, which gives the party...
