The connection between health insurance and death rates is, at best, tenuous.Ruth Marcus, in The Washington Post, pointed out yesterday that studies are not in agreement on the subject, leading Marcus to conclude as to Obamacare: "Gee, I hope this works out."But that has not...
From a CBS News poll released today, a clear majority of Americans want Republicans to keep fighting Obamacare:All the euphoria and giddiness from the Democrats and nutroots should not deter us from fighting this monstrosity, this abysmal, stunted, grotesque, freakish, ...
Jackson Diehl in The Washington Post: Netanyahu is being treated as if he were an unsavory Third World dictator,needed for strategic reasons but conspicuously held at arms length.Wrong. Unsavory Third World dictators are not treated this poorly by Obama:--------------------------------------------Related Posts:Israel Is The New HondurasObama Throws...
I understand, way too long a post title, but I needed to get the point across quickly, so that it was not "buried" from NY Times scrutiny. Here is what The Times wrote yesterday (emphasis mine): Buried deep in the health care legislation that President...
I told you this was coming. Increasingly, those who think Israel is to blame for the lack of peace in the Middle East, and who view pushing Israel back to barely defensible borders as the answer, have been pushing hard the meme that Israel is...

Kirsten Gillibrand should be toast in November, if only the Republicans could find someone with some decent name recognition and background to run against her. There simply is nothing remarkable about Gillibrand, and other than the support of Chuck Schumer, there is no reason Gillibrand...

Some more thoughts on the worst piece of legislation "since the Great Depression," in no particular order:Democrats won the messaging war. Democrats succeeded in portraying the bill as being about "giving" people "health care." Even Republicans used the terminology. In fact, everyone has hospital care...
At first, I thought this was a hoax, so I held off posting. But apparently it is for real, University of Ottawa's letter to Ann Coulter. I am reprinting it in full, because it is a paradigm of intolerance of opposing conservative viewpoints under...

David Frum knows who is to blame for what appears to be an Obamacare victory: Conservatives who refused to negotiate with Democrats even though Frum admits he has no idea if such negotiations would have resulted in a better bill.I do know. The bill which...
The housing bubble peaked in 2005. The bubble reflected a fiscal lack of reality built upon the greater fool theory, that there always would be another buyer foolish enough to pay more. (Chart via Bubblemeter) We now are on the cusp of passing a health...
