UCLA Economist Dr. Lee Ohanian pokes holes in the left’s claim that it was Hoover’s free-market approach that lead to the Great Depression. Ohanian’s research would suggest otherwise.
Pro-labor policies pushed by President Herbert Hoover after the stock market crash of 1929 accounted for close to two-thirds of the drop in the nation’s gross domestic product over the two years that followed, causing what might otherwise have been a bad recession to slip into the Great Depression, a UCLA economist concludes in a new study.
“These findings suggest that the recession was …

The folks at Heritage published a report detailing the effect ObamaCare would have on jobs. Not surprisingly the mandates on employers for the “play-or-pay” plan would cost jobs:

Hannan sat down with Reason.tv to discuss everything from his scolding of British PM Gordon Brown to health care.

Representative Shea-Porter was asked about Czars and then went into a tirade about the people electing representatives. It’s really quite amazing. No one said the people sent a communist to represent them in Washington, they said Obama’s green jobs czar is a self-avowed communist. Newsflash to the Congresswoman: these “Czars” are not elected, nor confirmed by the Senate.

The GOP primary opponent of Gov. Crist came out swinging against the governor’s pick to replace Martinez in the Senate:
“This is a disappointing appointment for Florida. George LeMieux is a talented political operative and the governor’s best friend, but that doesn’t make him the right choice to represent Florida in the Senate. Governor Crist had a wealth of consistent and principled conservative candidates to choose from, all of whom would have been a reliable check and balance on the excesses of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda.”

If you need any more proof than the United Kingdom that government run health care is a disaster, look no further than Massachusetts.
From the ever impressive CATO Institute:
In 2006, the Bay State enacted a slate of reforms that almost perfectly mirror the plan of Obama and congressional Democrats.
Those reforms reveal that the Obama plan would mean higher health insurance premiums for millions, would reduce choice by eliminating both low-cost and comprehensive health plans, would encourage insurers to avoid the sick and would reduce the quality of care.
Massachusetts reduced its uninsured …

No. It’s not. Laws on signage vary everywhere, so I don’t know if the protester had the right to display it there or not. That isn’t the point. When is it an appropriate response for an officer to say, “It ain’t [America] no more, okay?”

Remix of Reagan’s speech on socialized medicine. Fantastic.

The Obama Administration’s decision go after the CIA will please his liberal base, but it has certainly angered people on both sides of the aisle. In fact, there have been reports that Obama’s CIA Dircetor Leon Penetta got in a “profanity-laced screaming match” at the White House. Most recently, Newt called for Holder to be fired:
If Obama won’t uphold his fundamental duty as Commander-in-Chief to defend those who have been defending America, the least he can do is insist that his Attorney General uphold his fundamental duty to defend the …
