The whole thing is a must read, but here are some highlights: However quaint that may sound, when you have to cut nearly $11 billion in state spending to get there, you are going to get a lot of yelling [...]

A must read article from Matthew Continetti at the Weekly Standard: The liberal line is that President Obama has secured his place in history by signing into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. And secured it he has. Henceforth Obama will be remembered as the man who accelerated America’s mad dash [...]

To me, Paul Krugman lost his credibility a long time ago. But just in case he still has any in your eyes, check out James Taranto’s article from Friday’s Wall Street Journal.

George Will has an excellent analysis of the constitutionality of TARP and the doctrine of “nondelegation.” He explains it as follows: The Vesting Clause of Article I says, “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in” Congress. All. Therefore, none shall be vested elsewhere. Gary Lawson of Boston University’s School of Law suggests a [...]

Financial Products. I hope you take the time to read this entire letter. Before describing the details of my decision, [...]

Recently Rush Limbaugh challenged Barack Obama’s teleprompter to a debate. I thought that was fabulous, but now someone has taken up Rush’s idea and started Barack Obama’s Teleprompter’s Blog.  PURE GENIUS.
