• How is Obamacare to be stopped?

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline Over at Redstate, Erick Erickson makes an impassioned plea for Republican Senators to stop Obamacare in its tracks. Erickson essentially argues that unused parliamentary devices could and should be used by Republicans to oppose Obamacare in the Senate. It’s a terrific post and I couldn’t agree more with Erickson’s reckoning [...]

• More Climate Fraid and the Democrats again Endangering America

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline Cap and Defraud It is perhaps fitting that dubious global warming theory should trail in its wake an entire fraudulent industry, Europe’s cap and trade system. The Telegraph reports on the latest embarrassment to confront the revelers in Copenhagen: Carbon trading fraudsters may have accounted for up to 90pc of [...]

• You gotta love this

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline According to Politico, President Obama’s support has declined to the point that only 50 percent of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush. Forty-four percent say they’d rather have Bush. In one sense, this isn’t very surprising. Most people probably don’t believe they are [...]

• Goodbye Public Option?

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline The Associated Press reports that Democratic Senators, who have been negotiating behind closed doors, have come up with a compromise health care bill that does not include a public option: In place of a government-run plan, originally designed as a way of forcing competition on private industry, officials said [...]

• Reid: Opposing Government Medicine Is Like Slavery!

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline Harry Reid drew some of the most over-the-top analogies in Senate history today, as he claimed that Republicans who oppose the Democrats’ government medicine proposals are like those (Democrats, although Reid didn’t mention the fact) who stuck up for slavery. Also, they are like those who opposed women’s suffrage [...]

• Shut up, he explained

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline In its battle to nationalize health care the Obama administration has done its best to buy off or silence big business. Taking a lesson from the defeat of Hillarycare, the Obama administration has sought to preempt the return of Harry and Louise. This time around, Harry and Louise have [...]

• The Walpin pretext

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline Under the traditional law of employment discrimination, an employee alleging illegal termination can make out a prima facie case by alleging his membership in a protected class and adequate performance of his job. To rebut the prima facie case, an employer need only explain the termination by producing evidence [...]

• Phil Jones Goes Under the Bus, Temporarily

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline Climategate has claimed its first victim, sort of: the head of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, Phil Jones, is stepping down from his post while his university conducts an investigation. Jones is the author of many of the most offensive emails that have come to light, and richly deserves [...]

• Mad As Hell

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline If you were a Congressman, these numbers would make you tremble: Scott Rasmussen finds that an astonishing 71 percent of voters describe themselves as angry at the current policies of the federal government.

• Scientific Fraud and Holder’s Abuses

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline The scientific method isn’t what it used to be I confess to being less of a “global warming skeptic” than I believe my fellow Power Liners, John and Scott, are. But I become pretty skeptical pretty quickly when I read that scientists at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research [...]

  From Powerline Dubious Distinction The Obama administration is shattering all records for spending in its first year: In fiscal 2009 the federal government spent $3.52 trillion — $2.8 trillion in 2000 dollars, which sets a benchmark for comparison. … [C]ompared with other presidents’ first years in office, Obama is running circles around [...]

• Poll Data

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline Current poll data are brutal for the Democrats. In the Rasmussen survey, President Obama’s approval index, the difference between those who strongly approve and strongly disapprove of his performance, has hit a record low of -15. Overall, voters disapprove of Obama by 54-45%. That’s no doubt in part because [...]

  From Powerline We’ve written about the leaked emails and other documents from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Center here, here and here. Another intensely interesting email thread, which doesn’t seem to have gotten much notice, relates to the fact that the last decade, contrary to the alarmists’ predictions, has [...]

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline Venezuela is sponsoring an international conference of socialist parties in Caracas, which it pretentiously labels the Fifth International. Socialists from 40 countries, representing 50 political parties, are attending. On Friday, Hugo Chavez addressed the conclave.

• The Obama administration — ask it no questions, it will tell you some lies

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline Even congressional Democrats are disgusted with the Obama administration’s phony accounting of what the stimulus plan supposedly is accomplishing. Earlier this week, House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey lambasted the government’s flawed data purporting to show that $160 billion in stimulus spending has created or saved at least 640,000 [...]

• Geithner on the Hot Seat

  —Baltimore Reporter

  From Powerline - Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner appeared before the Joint Economic Committee today. One striking feature of Geithner’s testimony was how partisan it was. In keeping with the Obama administration’s mantra, he repeatedly tried to cast blame on the Bush administration while failing to acknowledge that when the financial crisis developed, [...]

  From Powerline Lindsay Graham frequently drives us crazy, but it can’t be denied that he has his moments. In today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, he took Eric Holder to the woodshed: Graham is right, of course. Under the Obama administration’s policies, if we capture Osama bin Laden tomorrow, the first thing we [...]

  From Powerline Al Gore has made an enormous amount of money by pretending to know something about science. He is by no means the first such charlatan, but he must be one of the most successful. A week or two ago, when we interviewed National Review’s John Derbyshire on our radio [...]
