After taxpayers revolt, most bribes will remain in health care legislation
Even though plans to ensure Nebraska residents would get $300 billion in federal health care kickbacks will not survive the next version of the Democrat’s health care legislation, plenty “carve-outs” providing billions to other states – not specifically named – will survive.

Stray cats, dogs and other sneaky things
As someone who has been following the health care bills, I read Steve’s recent post with interest.

The Tim Tebow Ad: Ummm what was the fuss?
Just saw this posted at the Washington Examiner by Mark Tapscott. I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn’t miss something. One more reason why the hysterical left needs to get a life.
