Clearing the Browser Tabs – Late-Morning Thursday Edition
I know. I’m late. I have a reasonably good excuse. Sleep. I needed it badly last night because I hadn’t gotten much of it the couple nights before and my brain wasn’t exactly forming coherent sentences. I like my blog posts to have coherent sentences. Anyhow, I added in a couple bonus links from this [...]
The Delivery Presents – Robinson on Reagan, Pethokoukis on the King
Episode 76 reminded me of the old Lewis Black comedy routine (back when he was funny) about how he experienced five seasons in four days when he was in Boston in February. He finished the bit with this: And there will come a time mark my words where there will be a season of great [...]

It’s going to be a fantastic [...]
Ancient and Indecipherable Document 1, Government-Run Health Care 0.
Monday afternoon, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Vinson pushed the entire progressive wing of the Democratic Party over the edge into unadulterated nincompoopery with his decision to void Obamacare. Judge Vinson’s reasoning is simple and elegant. The individual mandate is a clear violation of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Since Congress did not intend [...]
