Some news about President Obama, his home state of Hawaii, and that state's problem with certificates (no, not birth certificates).

The GOP in Massachusetts gets feisty.

Paul Krugman thinks the people who are protesting at congressional town hall meetings against the President's health reform plans are really a bunch of racists, when they're not paid right-wing operatives. Stuff like this actually pleases me, since it reflects the elite liberal opinion that is out there, and thus their complete misreading of the public mood, which will hinder their ability to respond to it, which could make for some big gains for the GOP in 2010.

Charles Krauthammer has a simple health care reform plan that calls for an end to the subsidy for employer-provided health insurance (the tax break) and an end to the tort system for medical malpractice as we know it today. I agree with him, since I have long called for severing the link between health insurance and employment. Let's create a market for insurance that is based on individual choice.
