GOOD READING

"Wrong Bill At The Wrong Time" by Shikha Dalmia at Forbes on ObamaCare.
"There are not enough taxpayers in the country or creditors in China capable of financing all these promises."

Daniel Henninger, Deputy Editor of the Op Ed pages at the Wall Street Journal is spot on with "Why Obama Is No LBJ". Critics who want Obama to be like Lyndon Johnson misunderstand the political skills that produced LBJ. And Obama is no LBJ.
TOWNHALL.COM
Townhall.com has a whole list of conservative and Libertarian writers. Today's "The Right to Work" by John Stossel is thought provoking. John Stossel is a Libertarian who champions for the freedom to just live our lives. So when he found out that Louisiana licenses florists - yes florists - and it may cost up to $2,000 to prepare for the test, he gets to explain why it is bad. "licensing interferes with the freedom to make a living, harms consumers by limiting competition and protects established firms." He thinks the same about licensing lawyers. And he has a point. (At the least, he makes you think.)

So does Ann Coulter who would also like to know the names of attorneys at the Justice Department who formerly represented Guantanamo detainees. (So do I because to even take the case of defending a Guantanamo detainee has to demonstrate a level of sympathy that should make their appointment as possible prosecutors suspect.)
