Obama versus the Constitution
I heard a clip of Jay Carney explaining the administration’s position on the new rule, under Obamacare, that mandates contraception be provided by private insurers, such as the Catholic Church. He said that the new guidelines, which President Obama had carefully considered, were meant to force private insurers to cover “preventative services”, including contraceptives, on their insurance plan. Jay Carney hasn’t been the only one explaining the decision.(read more...)

Obama's State of the Union: American Failure
President Obama said on Saturday that his State of the Union speech will focus on economic fairness for the middle class. After listening to him Tuesday, that was entirely right. But there's always a catch when economic fairness is mentioned. From listening to his speech you'd think that America's economic problems are as simple as the afternoon your mom accidentally gave your brother a bigger brownie and you whined until she fixed it. Putting it in that frame of reference makes Mitt Romney's millions seem terribly unfair

Big government hurts the little guy again
In order to for New York City taxi drivers to operate legally, the drivers of the iconic yellow taxis must have a medallion issued by the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission—the going rate for one is a cool $750,000. That's more money than the combined debt loads of a legal and dental student in New York. That would cover more than 1,500 permits to have a microbrewery in the same city. What's the deal with the insane cost just to be permitted to operate a legal taxi?

You're Not Listening
I attended a forum on gay marriage at Brigham Young University, presented by the Sociology department. The keynote speaker asked, “Why would you study the effects of pre-marital, physical intimacy on subsequent marriages?”

State of the Union: New Tone, Same Tune
According to President Obama, "...if we truly care about our deficit, we simply cannot afford a permanent extension of the tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Before we take money away from our schools, or scholarships away from our students, we should ask millionaires to give up their tax breaks."
Is the President seriously asking us to suspend our reasonable disbelief and buy his argument about whose responsibility the deficit is? That doesn't make sense; Every spending bill signed by President Obama directly added to the ever increasing federal deficit.

Quick Thoughts: University of Virginia's Global Warming Problem
Virginia's Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, has subpoenaed documents from a scientist working at the University of Virginia. Such an action is permissible under a statute passed in 2002 to help curb and prevent employees at public Universities from defrauding public tax dollars. The Democrats in the State Assembly are, of course, aghast.
Funny that the Democrats should be concerned about the use of the subpoena for investigating potential misuse of public dollars; aren't they supposed to be the party of ethics and governmental responsibility? (I guess that that principle goes out the window when they hope to use the issue to gain electoral ground (read the Washington Post story here)).
Suspicions about the professor have led to previous investigations as well. Chances are that if he's raised eyebrows before, he's likely to raise them again.
If he did tamper with his evidence and data then he is defrauding the public of tax dollars and needs to be punished.

Rahm Emmanuel Is Not a Chicago Resident
An appellate panel in Chicago ruled that Rahm Emanuel is not a Chicago resident and is ineligible to run for Mayor (read it here). People are now bemoaning the judicial activism in the courts because of this ruling. This in spite of the fact that the courts are designated to rule on legal issues.
It makes you wonder why people want Rahm as Mayor in the first place. Chicago is notorious for its corrupt politicians. Why do they think that Rahm would be that much better?

Quick Thoughts: Obamacare Replacement
It looks like Ezra Klein was wrong again. Yesterday he savaged the republicans for repealing Obamacare but not having a replacement. Little did he know (or maybe he wasn't paying attention) that the GOP was working to make good replacement policy (read about it here). The GOP has set up committees to actually study and find verifiable evidence of policies which would actually cause health care costs to go down and not skyrocket like they have so far under Obamacare. Some of the possible policies that they are looking at include: buying insurance across state lines, creating insurance associations to decrease costs and others.
It's kind of a shock to have Congress trying to look at market based reforms and methods of improving the market before passing laws.
