Melissa Clouther, who knows a thing or three about health care, has some sage words of advice: There is one thing you should know, yea two things that should make your decision: One, we simply cannot afford government-run health care.

Here are a couple great quotes from what’s turning out to be a banner day for a blogger looking for good stuff to link. First up, David Harsanyi, on being dressed down by professional panic-monger Ray LaHood: In his best Illinois tough-guy form, LaHood was in the middle of grandstanding about the need for new [...]

My post today at the American Issues Project deals with a rumor I’ve seen making the e-mail and blogging rounds. It says that if you own a home and want to sell it, the Democrats’ cap-and-trade bill would require you to have your house inspected to make sure it meets a certain energy-efficiency target and, [...]
