California legislators are on the verge of breaking a dubious record.

Health insurance rates continue to soar for small business owners in Massachusetts, despite (or, perhaps, because of) the recent health reforms in the Bay State.

Here is a very frightening economic fact.

The editors of The National Review are pleased with the "Pledge to America" that GOP leaders will release today. They believe it is even bolder than the "Contract with America" that the Republicans campaigned for during the 1994 mid-term elections, which many believe was a significant factor in their landslide victory that year.

Will the Supreme Court strike down the new health care law?

John Podhoretz urges New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino to get serious, as new polling data shows he may have a chance to beat Andrew Cuomo.

Dana Milbank writes about the do-nothing congressional Democrats. They are doing nothing because, quite frankly, they have no idea what they should do in the face of poll numbers that show an unrelenting trend toward the GOP.

E.J. Dionne thinks the Tea Party is a scam. He doesn't get it, of course. Like so many liberals, he is fixated on the few extremists and oddballs in the movement who get media attention, rather than the many middle-class Americans whose concern about the future of the country are fueling the movement.

Harold Meyerson thinks the Tea Party folks ought to direct their ire at the heads of our largest corporations, rather than the people in Washington. Meyerson, of course, sees the movement as the last gasp of racist whites who see their country and their culture slipping into the hands of alien peoples. Ironically, in his description of American multi-national corporations which move jobs to places like China, he is tapping into one of the fears expressed by people in the movement and, though Meyerson does not seem to realize it, they are just as angry at the heads of these corporations as they are at the Democrats currently running the show in Washington. This is the very real danger that face the Republicans should they take Congress starting in January. If the GOP leaders do not address the issue of job losses by American companies which ship them overseas, they will find themselves just as despised as the Democrats.
