The “Birthers” get a big push from … Chris Matthews? UPDATE: More Matthews UPDATE 2: I believe
OK … that’s just a cheap headline to get views … I think. Matthews spent his entire first segment with Clarence Page and David Corn discussing the recent push by Hawaii’s new Democrat Governor to finally get the young President’s long form birth certificate into the public domain.

Read MoreObamacare … to defund or not to defund? UPDATE: Revolution on the right?
OK … here’s your chance to hear both sides of the argument … from conservatives. I love CK and he makes a great point. But Stephen Hayes respectfully disagrees. Roll the dice my little hostage takers. Time to make a stand.

After the efforts, Pickens – who made his original fortune in the oil industry – has given up on his grandiose wind farm plan and will focus on…
Read MoreSTART passes. But are we really safer?
