Alan Grayson: Idiot

Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) took to the House floor Tuesday and let fly with what may just be the most idiotic remarks in the history of American politics: Grayson is a first term Congressman representing Florida’s 8th Congressional District… A traditionally Republican leaning district. He’s vulnerable, he knows it and he’s letting it all hang [...]

Video: French President Thinks “Obama Is Very Naive and Egotistical”

I’m generally suspicious of anonymous sources but given French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s public remarks I’m inclined to take Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Jack Kell at his word here: From the Telegraph: Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, came close to mocking his American counterpart for the good intentions, which Mr Obama had heralded as an “historic” step [...]

Gallup: 61% of Americans See Health Insurance as Personal Responsibility

Keeping We the People in the Dark

Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee have refused to publish the final text of their health care reform bill online prior to voting on it. They claim the language is too technically difficult for ordinary people to understand, and that releasing the text would just lead to confusion. Yeah, right… I suspect it has more [...]

I missed Rush Limbaugh’s appearance on the Jay Leno show last night… I’m sorry I did: Part 1: Part 2: And the highlight of the show… Rush running over Al Gore (and Ed Begley Jr.)… twice…

Flout the Individual Mandate Penalty and Go to Jail?

I wonder if President Obama still thinks the Individual Mandate provisions of the Health Care Reform bill aren’t a tax: Americans who fail to pay the penalty for not buying insurance would face legal action from the Internal Revenue Service, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.
