I've been an incurable political junkie for about ten years now, maybe twelve. For the past five years I've spent six-to-twelve hours a day reading or writing about politics, almost every single day. If you haven't done that, you can't imagine what the experience is like. It's total immersion. I should have more than one Ph.D in political science by now. I have learned a tremendous amount about how...

NTU urges all Representatives to vote “NO” on H.R. 3961, the so-called “Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act.” Introduced by Representative John Dingell (D-MI), this bill is part of an appalling display of bait-and-switch to reduce the apparent cost of health care reform. H.R. 3962, the recently passed House health care “reform” bill, received a 10-year cost estimate...

It's clear that Obama doesn't have the votes for Cap-n-Tax in the Senate, or he would not have hinted that it's off the table late last week. Perhaps that's because Browner's gang will simply regulate us to the Promised Land instead . ...In an obvious administrative overreach, EPA wants to rewrite the 1970 Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases. The agency just released a proposed rule that would...

‘W hatever happened to Saturday night'” asked the poet. Most Americans, we hope, had more diverting business than staying up near unto the witching hour to watch Nancy Pelosi’s Democrats vote to make meatloaf of the insurance business and a good chunk of the overall health-care system with it. Saturday night’s alright for party politics, but the hangover is inescapable. Let’s...
