White House jello
What is White House jello? No, it doesn’t refer to Obama’s spine. It refers to this work of jello art, constructed by Liz Hickok, and sent to me by a thoughtful reader:

Has Obama done any irreversible damage so far?
I saw the above question in the comments section of a post at Althouse, and I believe the answer is “yes.” But the reason I say this may surprise you. It’s not any one action or decision, or even several. … Continue reading →
Companion pieces about reconciliation for HCR
If you’re finding it difficult to understand exactly how reconciliation would work in terms of the current bills regarding health care reform, you’re not alone. To clarify—or perhaps to add to your confusion—here are two somewhat opposing articles on the … Continue reading →
Thomas Sowell. Again.
An excellent interview with Thomas Sowell. The point he makes reminds me of the following, one of my favorite quotes from the work of Czech novelist Milan Kundera: For example, communists used to believe that in the course of capitalist … Continue reading →

Last fall Obama engineered a photo-op featuring an audience of white-coated doctors to show he had the support of the medical profession for health care reform. As he stood at the podium, he was also flanked by four more of … Continue reading →
Obama and Matheson
Could this be just more of the Chicago Way? Poor Blago got impeached for somewhat similar shenanigans. What will Obama get—his health care reform bill passed?

What a difference an election makes. Obama used to sing quite a different tune on why a strong and bipartisan majority was needed to pass a transformative bill such as HCR. There are lots of previous Obama quotes to that … Continue reading →
Timely book about tyranny
I haven’t read it, but this book, an exploration of how free societies descend into tyranny, sounds like an idea whose time has come (hat tip: Instapundit).
