ACORN has been found guilty of voter fraud, illegal voter, conspiracy to traffic in child prostitution, human trafficking, and G-d knows what. My taxpayer dollars cannot be used to fund these vile criminals. And they dump...

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Kill The Bills: Do Health Reform Right. “Insuring the uninsured is a moral imperative. The problem is that the Democrats have chosen the worst possible method — a $1 trillion new entitlement of stupefying arbitrariness and inefficiency. The better choice is targeted measures that attack the inefficiencies of the [...]
Why wouldn't the Post-American President allow this? After all, he already plans to try the CIA members who interrogated jihadis at Gitmo, and Navy Seals who captured a top jihadist. Why should he have any problem with this? "Prosecuting American 'War Crimes': The International Criminal Court claims jurisdiction over U.S....

He's $15,000 behind in child support. Guess those business deals with Jon Gosselin never came to fruition, or he just had all the cash deposited offshore. Michael has racked up $15,100 in unpaid child support to ex-wife Dina for...
