Mark Levin, on the potential fallout from Obamacare (courtesy of Doug Ross): […] The editors of Investors Business Daily — a real newspaper — write: Social Security’s chief actuary reports that the social safety net will run a deficit for 2010, nine years earlier than predicted. Put down that big gavel, Madam Speaker, we’re about to hit the iceberg. Wow. Social Security is now officially broke. They’re expanding Medicaid. There

I’ll be in Chicago upcoming from April 16-19. If anyone wants to get together (or put together a get together for the evening on one of those days) just let me know. LtC John has already expressed an interest in meeting up. Too, I know that JD sometimes hits Chicago and puts together meet ups.

Dr. Helen: Why are liberals unable to sympathize with conservatives? I offer three possibilities.
