Mike Castle: Pro-Repeal?
Mike Castle held a fundraiser with pro-repeal Republican Senator Orrin Hatch. The Republican discipline on health care reform is starting to disappear though.

Postal Service Looking for Five Day Week
This idea has been kicked around for several years now, but the US Postal Service is now taking the first formal steps toward five-day delivery: The postal governing board agreed to ask the independent Postal Regulatory Commission for an opinion on dropping Saturday delivery. That request goes to the commission next week. Under the proposal, […]
Wednesday Open Thread
Well, I’ve had an interesting morning so far. The police knocked on my door at 2 AM to inform us that me and my husband’s cars had been vandalized with graffiti. Apparently some geniuses went through the neighborhood and spray painted a lot of cars and even some houses. My husband and I then spent […]
One Simple Reason Why the Health Care Law’s Mandate IS Constitutional
First of all, let me say how much better I like writing “Health Care Law” than “Health Care Bill”. But on to the topic, there is a simple but under-reported fact in the whole “The individual mandate is unconstitutional” debate, that, while not new, only came to my attention last night. Last night on Countdown, […]

Legislative Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show-Wed., March 24, 2010
Looks like they must’ve installed some new, even more compelling, solitaire games on the Legislative Council computers. How else can you explain that yesterday’s session report cites activity going back to at least June of 2009 as new action effective yesterday? Perhaps the porn filter was on the fritz? With that caveat, here is yesterday’s […]
