• Santorum Calls Out the Bishops

  Rick Santorum is a two-fisted kinda guy--which is why GWB's machine preferred Specter.

  You know that Abp. Dolan of NYC called out the execrable Dowd-babe of the equally-execrable NYTimes over her (and their) overt, aggressive, anti-Catholicism.

• Is It All "Bush's Fault"?

  Hardly.
  
  Hennessey is extremely displeased with Orszag's dissembling. Here's a taste:
  
  Director Orszag is correct that neither the Medicare drug benefit nor the tax cuts were offset with other spending cuts or tax increases. He fails to tell you that in 2003 Congressional Democrats wanted to spend [...]

• House Arrests Video

  You will note some discrepancies.
  
  1) There are a half-dozen people who are FOR ObamaCare, loudly screaming. They were not arrested.
  
  2) Of that group, at least two were bare-butted (about midway through the vid). No, they were NOT arrested.
