Scribbling, scribbling, scribbling on the Internet.
To wit . . . Democrats are panicking about the state of her campaign. The Associated Press is suing the State Department in an effort to gain access to Clinton's e-mails. This alone guarantees continued press interest in this story, which means that the story is not going away. "Tuesday, Hillary Clinton projected the stoicism of …

Jonathan Gruber is utterly and completely destroying himself, and is providing massive amounts of ammunition to anti-Obamacare forces. Neat trick, especially considering the fact that he got paid nearly half a million dollars in order to both design Obamacare, and also sell it to the masses. Consider the latest video that has come out regarding Gruber's …

This latest Obamacare update features a semi-apology from the president of the United States: President Obama said Thursday that he is "sorry" that some Americans are losing their current health insurance plans as a result of the Affordable Care Act, despite his promise that no one would have to give up a health plan they …
The president of the United States believes that in the Internet age, he can still flush his narrative about Obamacare down the memory hole. I am glad that Ron Fournier is on the case to keep this from happening, but the fact that the White House tried to rewrite history ought to disturb honest people: …
