THE POOR DEARS ON CAPITOL HILL don’t want to pay for their own ObamaCare. How dare they be treated like little people!

EXPLAINING WHY I PREFER PAPER (WHEN I CAN): Online bank heists just the latest in a long string.

MORNING EXAMINER: Libertarian populists giving establishment Republicans headaches. Good. It's time for the establishment (both sides) to take a hike.

THE DEATH OF POPULISM: Plenty of pleaders for rich and poor, but no politician speaks for the common man.

NEWT GINGRICH: Curing Bureaucratic Health Care.

I'm on board with much of what Gingrich is proposing in this article. America would be far better off if, for example, the money being spent on ObamaCare were instead being spent on basic research in genetics, regenerative medicine, and brain diagnostics as Gingrich suggests.

YES, PLEASE DO LECTURE US about phony scandals.

OBAMA AS a Comparative President Assessment Specialist.

Making Jimmy Carter look good since 2009.
