Power update
Still no power. This time I’m sitting with my laptap in a public library, having managed to snare one of the few empty desks and unused outlets. Never have I seen such a large crowd at the library before! After … Continue reading →

Have fun with this one
Not having read the research, I can’t say. But my strong hunch is that it’s garbage in, garbage out. It is notoriously difficult to design unbiased research on such a subject.

It’s nighttime and the power’s still out, although right now I’m in another part of town where the lights are as bright as usual. I’m sitting in a coffee shop loaded with people, many of them—like me—busy keyboarding away at … Continue reading →
White House Secretary resigns, but not the right one
I was in the car today listening to the radio and I heard something about a White House something-or-other secretary resigning today. I felt a small leap of joy at the thought that it had to be—just had to be—the … Continue reading →
Power outage–tune in later
Much of New England dealt with an enormous storm and high winds last night, and I was no exception. Power outage time! I’m in the wifi-enabled parking lot of a McDonald’s in a nearby town that seems to have been … Continue reading →

About that much-ballyhooed, analyzed, and largely unwatched “bipartisan” health care summit
[NOTE: I’m bumping this up to keep it at the top. Scroll down for newer posts.] Well, I tried. But a couple of minutes was it for me. I suspect that the vast majority of people will not be watching … Continue reading →
Susan Estrich, please check your facts: single party dominance
I happen to like Susan Estrich more than I do most liberal Democrat pundits. She isn’t afraid to criticize her own party, for example (see this and this). But Estrich lost me at the starting gate when this article of … Continue reading →
David Axelrod has a dream
And this is it: I would love to live in a world where the president could snap his fingers or even twist arms and make change happen, but in this great democracy of ours, that’s not the way it is.

…a few years and a transfer of power makes. I haven’t heard Democrats been so eloquent—and make so much sense—in quite a few years. [Via the geniuses at Breitbart TV.]

Here’s my question: do bills passed by the reconciliation process require the inclusion of a five-year sunset provision? And if so, why has this fact hardly been mentioned in the ongoing discussion about using reconciliation to pass health care reform? … Continue reading →
Health care reform: how are the votes shaping up?
Sounds like Pelosi doesn’t have enough votes to pass Obamacare in the House. Yet. She wasn’t making any promises Tuesday, saying the White House proposals are “getting a good reception,” but “we have more work to do.” As for the … Continue reading →
