It’s centrist! It’s moderate! Really it is! Isaac MacMillen, Americans for Limited Government (warning: the word “Nazi” gets used. Which I think is racist): […] In his new transition website, Change.gov, “Office of the President-elect,” [Gghah! – ed] Barack Obama promises to “expand national service programs” such as Peace Corps and AmeriCorps. While there are many benefits to volunteering for the country, Obama’s plan has the potential to cause some

I give it 4 more years until we’re all doing mandatory calisthenics — fewer, if universal healthcare passes rapidly, and overweight people have the nerve to presume a coverage entitlement without sweating for it. Dance, fat boy! You don’t see any plump Chinamen, do you?: The Philadelphia City Council has passed a menu labeling law that a prominent consumer advocacy group described as the strongest in the nation. The measure
