I may have to turn this into a series. Someone please tell me again that this is a hoax, or a bad Photoshop, or something. Via Big Government, the Obama’s White House Christmas tree not only has an ornament with Mao’s photo on it, there...

I’m watching Nancy Pelosi’s press conference announcing the final House Democratic health restructuring bill. It’s 1990 pages. We’ll see what the bill really says once we have time to analyze it, but here’s what we know from prior versions, news reports, and Pelosi’s talking points....

Robert Stacy McCain has the run down on the apoplectic reaction of liberals to the “tea parties” sweeping the country.
