Are insurance companies worried about the health care bill?
(Hint: Their stock prices are rising)
Under the Senate plan, millions of Americans will be forced into private insurance company plans, which will be subsidized by taxpayers. This will do little to reform health care but will be a windfall for insurance companies.
The point of creating [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Senator has left the building.
He is finally at peace, hopefully.
He fought his entire life for real change, real progress. And through countless family–and personal–tragedies he continued to fight. For equality, for minimum wage, and his final battle, health care. Ted Kennedy stood up for those too weak to fight. He [...]

“Liberals” have pretty much been on the right side of every major issue in the history of this country.
Ending slavery. Medicare. Social Security. Voting rights. Every one fiercely opposed by conservatives.
Those soft-hearted liberals were against going to war in Vietnam and Iraq. Those ventures both went well, didn’t they?
Now liberals [...]
Wait, what?
Yes, a conservative is right about something. I am talking about Ben Stein. He occasionally gets pretty nutty about what he thinks, but he hit this topic right on the nose.
He said that the biggest problem with the market today is the fear fueling its downfall. When Barack Obama was elected, he himself said [...]
In this tough economy, many company leaders are showing their compassion by taking pay cuts. This little entry is dedicated to Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner. Due to the recession, the NFL has been forced to cut 15% of its 1100 jobs. And Goodell is taking a hit, too. He is voluntarily taking a 20-25% pay [...]
As we see the inevitable big(ger) government coming (at least for temporary purposes), let’s prepare for the evils of socialism. You see, nothing good has ever come out of socialistic ideas. What has the post office ever done for you? Receiving bills in your mail is pretty crappy, isn’t it? And the same thing goes [...]
We have a new president. A brand new administration. A brand new way of approaching our duties as American citizens. For the last eight years, we as Americans failed in our duties. We did not question loud enough, if at all, the (ab)use of power by the Bush Administration. That cannot happen with this administration. [...]
One would think that a 365 to 173 butt kicking in the electoral college (which democrats have hated for a long time) would show republicans the big picture. One would think that an 18 seat deficit in the Senate would show republicans the big picture. One would think that a 78 seat deficit in the [...]
I know that TIME used this title, but I really like it.
According to Barack Obama’s advisors, his current plan could create as much as 4.1 million new jobs, more than quadrupling (standard 5th grade math) his campaign promise of 1 million. I can pretty much guarantee that this will be the most progressive legislation passed [...]
–Sorry about getting this in so late; it’s finals week and I haven’t had time to watch my primary news source (The Daily Show)–
So we all know by now the story of Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the man that threw his shoes and shouted at President Bush at his news conference in Iraq. What some of us [...]
