  • Why Kathleen Sebelius wants the current health care bill

    Why does Health and Human Services Sec. Kathleen Sebelius want the current health care bill to pass? It probably has a lot to do with her personal policy preferences and her loyalty to the Democratic platform and the Obama administration. It probably also has a lot to do with the [...]

    Number of comments: 1
    After a series of embarrassing e-mails from the East Anglia CRU and the disclosure that the same group of scientists doesn’t have their original source data upon which computer models of anthropogenic global warming are based, the push is on to frame it all as much ado about nothing.

  • Lou Dobbs: Perot of 2012?

    Number of comments: 1
    After leaving CNN following a fairly successful run as a political commentator, Lou Dobbs has been publicly flirting with the idea of running for public office.
