BREAKING: WH Names ObamaCare Litigator For SCOTUS Challenge

by Smitty U.S. News reports that the White House is flexing its muscle to bring ObamaCare to the Supreme Court sooner rather than later: The government could have dragged its feet in appealing to the Supreme Court—the final deadline to file was actually November, and it also could have asked for a full court review […]

Re-Integration Continues Apace

by Smitty Thanks to the legion of well-wishers here on the blog, on Twitter, and via email. The main message of de-mobilization is “take it slow”. I grew up in the Navy, and dad would just be gone so long that I hardly recognized him whenever the deployment ended. These days, we’re fortunate to have […]

VA High Speed Fail

by Smitty The Washington Post points to a $44mil example of why the DC madness must stop: a high-speed rail connection between DC and Richmond? The VRE already has lines going west and south. So, if there is a business case to put in more rail service, then where is the VRE on this? We’re […]

by Smitty (via Slone) Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels chose not to join the Republican race for the presidential nomination in 2012, but weighed in on front-runners and the political landscape Sunday. “I don’t have anything original to say,” about the GOP field, Daniels said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” but noted, “the two governors […]

And Yet, Whither The States?

by Smitty Insty points to a CNBC piece: About 2.3 million homeowners could have refinanced their mortgages last year if they didn’t owe more than their homes were worth or if lending standards weren’t so strict, according to a Federal Reserve study released Thursday.
