Looks like Obama is trying avoiding another bow-gate by declining to meet Norway’s king while in Oslo to accept to Nobel Peace Prize. [...]

Not My Tribe: Obama confuses Nobel for Iron Cross

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 08:40:20 -0500

We can only conjecture that the Nobel Peace Prize fashioned for President Obama features military motifs of the Knight’s Cross and the Prussian Pour Le Merit. The cheeky new War Czar invoked, and completely contradicted 1964 peace laureate Martin Luther King Jr. [...]

Peoples Press Collective: Harry Reid’s FEHB public option a bad deal

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:30:05 -0500

Writes Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute: “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has announced that he has reached a super secret compromise on how to deal with the so-called public option for health reform.” Instead of a public option, “Congress would establish a program similar to the Federal [...]

Steam Powered Opinions: Channeling the Fat Man

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 19:24:00 -0500

Al Gore,

"But the basic facts are incontrovertible. What do they [global warming deniers] think happens when we put 90 million tons up there every day? Is there some magic wand they can wave on it and presto! -- physics is overturned and carbon dioxide doesn't trap heat'" [...]

Steam Powered Opinions: A heaping spoonful on wingnut in the morning

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 07:05:00 -0500

There's some sort of glitch with the Politics West RSS feed so I'll go a couple of weeks without recieving an article. Then, like this morning, I'll have ten posts from Ross Kaminsky show up all at once in my reader.

It's like Christmas, if Santa were a tea-bagging [...]

Haley's Comment: Christmas Letdown and how to avoid it

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:01:10 -0500

All I wanted for Christmas that year was the fashion show stage on which to perch my Dawn doll. And I got it. And a ton of other stuff, too. Christmas at my childhood home was ... [...]

Haley's Comment: Torrealba, Rockies stalled at the moment

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:53:51 -0500

INDIANAPOLIS — Yorvit Torrealba’s agents are waiting to hear from Rockies general manager Dan O’Dowd. He’s waiting to hear from them. Which one will blink first? Torrealba wants a two-year deal for at least $5.5 million. The Rockies want him back at $5 million. The sides still haven’t talked tonight. [...]

Mount Virtus: CD-7 Update: McCain Backs Lang Sias; Ryan Frazier Calls out Ed Perlmutter

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:38:03 -0500

Two quick updates from the Republican primary campaign trail in Colorado’s increasingly competitive 7th Congressional District. First, an unsurprising big-name endorsement for newcomer Lang Sias from U.S. Senator and 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain. I’m not sure how much that excites the Republican base locally.

Meanwhile, Ryan Frazier — [...]

Peoples Press Collective: Cory Voorhis update

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 09:24:18 -0500

I attended a fund-raiser last night for Cory Voorhis and his family. The crowd was over 100, including local radio talk show host Peter Boyles. People lined up to thank Cory for the fight he’s taking on. Perhaps the most moving moment was when a 5-year old boy donated his [...]

Mount Virtus: The New Health Care “Compromise” Doesn’t Improve on the “Public Option”

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 08:03:20 -0500

Update, 9:50 AM: The Patient Power Now blog presents more explanation why the new Harry Reid “compromise” is a bad deal.

So the big news from Capitol Hill is that Democrat leaders in Congress have ditched the “public option” — which means we can claim some small victory, right? WRONG. [...]
