“Obama Resubmits Berwick Nomination to Senate for Medicare Post”

Civility! Comity! Working together! — If the end result we’re working together toward is socialized medicine, that is.

“Obama’s State of the Union Was Tantamount to Plagiarism”

Well, that’s kinda harsh, isn’t it? Couldn’t we just go with “homage”? Or “postmodern” re-imagining…? (h/t Mark Levin)

“Fourth Circuit court expedites hearing of Virginia’s health care lawsuit”

Let’s roll. Or rule. Either way.

Pyle, President of the Institute for Energy Research: The President’s efforts to “make electricity prices necessarily skyrocket” failed with cap-and-trade; his decision to lock up natural resources in the Gulf Coast was met with resounding opposition; his Administration’s threats to use the EPA to target the forms of affordable, reliable energy they dislike have been met with nothing but dismay; the ever-increasing subsidies for unproven, unreliable,
