Tom Coburn (R-Ok) may
request, as is his right under Senate Rules, that the entire
2,027 page Harry Reid health care restructuring bill be read out
loud on the floor of the Senate prior to debate:
A little quick math shows that at a minute a page — an easily achieved pace...
There is one number about which Harry Reid and the Democrats almost never talk: 255 million.
That is the number of Americans who have health insurance, according to the September 2009 Report released by the Census Bureau (at page 20). The vast majority of those people (70%) are happy with their coverage,...
It is clear that Democrats, who opposed shock and awe on the actual battlefield, find it a useful tactic in the health care debate.
Last night, Harry Reid released the 2,074 page bill he created in secret, and he wants to start debate immediately. If he had his way (which fortunately he...
Harry Reid and his Democratic band of friends want to impose a 5% excise tax on all elective cosmetic surgeries (those which are not needed to repair deformaties or injuries caused by an accident or disfiguring disease). It’s all in Section 9017 of Harry Reid’s 2,074 page monstrosity released tonight:
There is...
Finally, Harry Reid has released his health care restructuring bill. It is a whopping 2,074 pages.
And it will save money, is his spin. The CBO report is not yet posted on its website and has not been released by Reid, so it may not be until tomorrow that we get to...
From Politico:
With the president’s year-end deadline for health care reform looming, congressional Democrats know they’ll almost certainly have to short-circuit the legislative process to get the bill done.

The Newsweek cover of Sarah Palin in fitness clothing is becoming the teachable moment of the year. Because liberal women are beginning — just beginning — to acknowledge that liberals of both genders are so driven by hatred of Sarah Palin that their worst instincts are coming out.
And it is recognition...
TBogg, who blogs at Firedoglake, doesn’t want to miss an excuse to take a dig at Trig Palin, Sarah Palin’s son who was born with Down Syndrome. The excuse this time is the Newsweek cover showing what even Media Matters calls a sexist portrayal of Palin.
What does the cover and the...
Whey do I have the feeling that this is Obama’s “Mission Accomplished” moment?

As anyone who reads this blog knows, I am not a fan of Media Matters. All too often, Media Matters spends way too much time staring at videos of the latest O’Reilly show or speech by a Republican politician, or listening to every syllable uttered by Rush Limbaugh, trying to find...
Any day (minute, hour?) Harry Reid will release his health care restructuring plan. If reports are true, Reid plans to start debate as soon as he can get the necessary votes, and have the Senate work Saturdays until Reid gets his up or down vote on the Senate floor.
We don’t know...
The Huffington Post has removed the impostor who was using “Legal Insurrection” to post comments at HuffPo, as detailed in my prior post, Why Is Someone Impersonating Me?
People impersonating others is a real problem on the internet, and should give caution to anyone who relies on comments or other entries as...

At least Andrew Sullivan is honest that the main purpose of a civilian trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is not obtaining a conviction of KSM. A conviction could be obtained more efficiently and just as fairly in a military tribunal.
As I posted earlier, the purpose of brininging KSM to a civilian...

Politico is one of the class acts in internet news to which I link frequently, and Ben Smith is a justifiably respected commentator at Politico.
Which is why it pains me to have to point out that yesterday Smith unfairly smeared Robert Stacy McCain as a racist who opposes interracial...
