  • Jim Moran’s Town Hall Meeting. 2009-08-27. I recorded about half of Jim Moran’s town hall meeting from C-SPAN Tuesday night and just finished watching it. Am I missing something, or are these things a total waste of time? Have they always been this animated or is this a recent development?

  • What’s Really At Stake Here. 2013-10-03. This has nothing to do with whether Obamacare is good, bad, or indifferent. What’s at stake is whether factions in Congress should have the power to circumvent the normal process of making laws so they can enforce their will on the whole country.

  • I Really Have To Say This?. 2013-10-23. The problems with Healthcare.gov are entirely unrelated to whatever problems are in the law. Saying the healthcare law is bad because the web site is broken is like saying speed limits are bad because your car broke down.

  • Big Mistake or a Big Lie. 2013-11-06. I’m not one of those people who thinks that "making a big mistake" is the same as "lying," but now that plenty of people are losing their existing plans, he’s getting hammered for lying to us.

  • Trying To Make Sense of Insurance Premiums. 2013-11-08. Normally if I see an article titled "Obamacare destroying lives, killing business," I skip it, because it’s obviously going to be partisan rhetoric, especially coming from RedState, a political blog which thrives on such. But for some reason I went through with reading this article, because I saw that it was a (supposedly) real-life example of someone who is being forced to buy a more expensive plan with less benefits under Obamacare.

  • A Lucky Political Disaster. 2013-11-14. I think it’s safe to say now that the Obamacare rollout has been a total disaster, and Democrats have no choice but to make some concessions (or "fixes"). Even if it wasn’t really a disaster, it’s solidified in the national consciousness as a disaster, and perception is reality in politics.
