It Pays to Be Connected: Obamacare Edition
This is shocking only to the politically naive.
Tawdry details of Obamacare - White House quietly exempts pampered politicos
If you would like to know what the White House really thinks of Obamacare, there’s an easy way. Look past its press releases. Ignore its promises. Forget its talking points. Instead, simply witness for yourself the outrageous way the White House protects its best friends...

Rahm Emanuel Ruled Eligible After All; Offers...
Well, of course he was, silly! He’s a Democratic Party politician - from Illinois, we are told - and they live by different rules than we do. Or no rules at all, if you want to be all “accurate” and stuff.
Doing a little research into his background turns up some interesting factoids that - SURPRISE! - our ever-watchful media have deemed unworthy for our consumption....

Me neither. I tuned this guy out months ago, for the above reasons and more.

A Civilized Debate on Obamacare: How Refreshing!
Liberal Feminist Nina Burleigh vs. The Heartland Institute on Obamacare
This is really interesting, and I think it might enlighten some who believe in government solutions for health care.
I’m no expert on health care, but I do understand something about economics and markets. And because health care is a system, an economic market, with different groups who sometimes have differing...

CBO: We Can't Afford Not To Spend Money. Or...
Extreme Budget Illogic at the CBO
Why do people take the CBO estimates of spending and revenue seriously?
They don’t even accept the true fact that tax cuts lead to overall higher tax revenues, due to economic growth, do they? Does any governing body in the entire country accept that?
It’s a pretty key point.
The other night I heard some guy on WTTW public television (channel 11 in...

Didn’t they say 2011 was going to be the year they destroy her?
A lot of hate being generated by the left.
When can we expect the Paul Krugman column decrying this insanity?
Oh, right, NEVER.
It’s a very, very fine line between “living in fantasy land” and “clinically insane”. I think we’ve seen lots of people cross it in the...

Judge Andrew Napolitano - Recording the Cops
I’d say that every American citizen should take 8 minutes out of their life and watch this video.
This conduct by police and prosecutors is outrageous, there is no other word for it. Oh, wait, here’s another word(s): fucking bullshit.
And I generally support the police and law enforcement, quite strongly in fact. So for somebody...

logicallypositive:
Okay, you might be wondering why we’re in such a shitty economy, and why things were so good only 4-5 years ago, and how things changed so fast. Furthemore you may be curious as to why things are only going down. You might say “Justin, but those educated economists at the Federal Reserve and our…
The main message here, which cannot be repeated too often, is that...

Go ahead and count the ways that this is absolutely outrageous, if you care about truth and accuracy and other quaint notions like that.
icecap.us:
How do we know there’s a scientific consensus on climate change? Pundits and the press tell us so. And how do the pundits and the press know? Until recently, they typically pointed to the number 2500 - that’s the number of scientists associated with...
