Two days ago, I linked to a lengthy, detailed post outlining 15 things you should know about the proposed healthcare reform bill. Remember? Well, the same guy, Keith Hennessey, has updated his analysis and now has a comparison of the Kennedy-Dodd Senate bill and the House bill being proposed. Read it and continue weeping.
Remember the Obamanovs? About two months ago, I noted that the Obama administration had outdone the Romanov dynasty as far as czar appointments go. Well, apparently they didn’t want to simply top the record; they want to smash the record to pieces. New this week: a compensation czar to determine just how much executives of [...]

The other day, President Obama declared that healthcare reform absolutely, positively has to get done this year, or else the window will close fo-EVAH and EVAH. Oh noes! Seriously, though, health insurance is outrageously priced if you’re an individual trying to provide coverage for you and/or your family. If you can get insurance through your [...]
The New York Times has an interesting article today about Brian Deese, a 31-year-old Yale law student who has put his education on hold to work for the Obama administration. He started off by volunteering for the Clinton campaign, and then was contacted by the Obama campaign once Hillary Clinton withdrew her candidacy. Now he [...]
That’s Spanish for “flying the friendly skies,” at least according to the translator widget on my iGoogle homepage. Curious? Check out this piece of journalism gold put together by WFAA out of Dallas/Fort Worth (video here). It appears that on the list of qualifications necessary to be considered for hire as an airplane mechanic in [...]
Well, well, well. All you who believe that politicians are sometimes honest and sincere, please find the nearest seat and park your butt in it, because you’re about to be schooled. Law School Ninja is proud to present reason #7583 why you should never believe the words of a politician (hat tip: @TheFix).
This article in the New York Times caught my eye today. It’s about a community in Germany that is designed for walking and bicycles. People who want to have cars have to buy a spot in the parking garage for about $40,000 (!), and the parking garage is so far away that you’re better off [...]
Well, actually, I did. When I wrote this post about Senator Arlen Specter’s decision to change his party affiliation, I made an obtuse reference (in the title) to the reality show “Survivor.” I actually started writing the post as a full-blown analogy to Survivor, but it just wasn’t working for me so I reworked it. [...]
In Republican Valley, there’s a whole lot of jockeying going on in an effort to gain control over the party in time for the midterm elections of 2010 and then the presidential election in 2012. Currently Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and Eric Cantor are on a “listening tour” (which, oddly enough, consists mostly of talking). [...]
