Democrats will be quick to jump on this as good news, but let’s keep a few things in mind here. First of all, the bill in question doesn’t include a public option.

ObamaCare Activists Now Declaring Insurance Offices “Crime Scenes”
7. October 2009
They’re activists from the anti-private sector, lobbyist-fueled Health Care for America Now (HCAN). This isn’t just a group of people who want to make sure everyone receives health care.

Pelosi: Of Course More Taxes Are On The Table

Aren’t they always with a Democratic Congress and White House? The new tax Pelosi is talking about in this case is the value added tax (VAT), which levies a tax on manufacturers at each step of the manufacturing process. Yes, really.

Charming: Obama Kills Funding for Iranian Human Rights Watch Agency
6. October 2009
Because really, what purpose could an Iranian human rights agency serve? Oh, right, yeah.
