After serving 18 months in a federal prison, Michael Vick will be suiting up for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles in less than two months. Presumedly Vick will be acting as Donovan McNabb’s back up for the short term. But that casting won’t last long. Vick is too talented to play second-fiddle to the aging and…

Palin on Obama’s Death Panel
Sarah Palin isn’t one to mince words, it has become apparent. Yesterday she postulated that Democrats’ health care reform proposals could lead to the formation of government-run “death panels”: The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of…

Bob Herbert says some men hate women and some of those get guns and kill them. Way to look for root causes, Bob. http://bit.ly/JriGD # Iranian protester trials continue; regime more pathetic/illegitimate for it.

The Truth About Health Care Protests
El Marco was at the Stout Street Clinic in downtown Denver where Nancy Pelosi was supposed to come to bolster the pro-reform troops with her presence yesterday.

The Health Care Debate’s Dark Roots Showing
The Wall Street Journal has an excellent editorial up that explains in crystal-clear language why the health care agenda item that President Obama and Democrats in Congress are pushing needs to be killed. Highly recommended – read it all. One key excerpt has to do with Democrats’ feeling of legislative entitlement. “We can do whatever…
On the Left’s One-Way Culture of Protest
The left’s whining in recent days about conservatives who have stood up and protested against their health care agenda item – including some from President Obama – is both comical and ridiculous considering who started the Age of our Discontent way back around the time I was born. Regarding the ridiculous, Jason Arvak says all…
Support for Health Care Softening
A new poll from Quinnipiac University once again demonstrates the softening of public support for health care reform: American voters, by a 55 – 35 percent margin, are more worried that Congress will spend too much money and add to the deficit than it will not act to overhaul the health care system, according to…
Democrats’ William Jefferson Guilty, Guilty, Guilty
A jury in Alexandria today ruled as everyone knew they would and found former Democratic Congressman William Jefferson of “cold cash in the ice box” infamy guilty on 11 counts of corruption. Nearly 2 years ago I wrong that Jefferson “should be dealt with – and will be, in time, I am confident – with…
Bill Clinton and the North Korean Junket
John Bolton says that Bill Clinton’s diplomatic rescue of two American journalists being held hostage in North Korea was unwise, not only because it puts more Americans at risk in the future but because it continues the Clinton tradition of giving in when rogue states begin to behave badly.
