#1 Man, the new congress is really not fucking around. They actually might get more done in the first 100 days than congress usually does in a year. I love the repeal bill that they put together to get rid of Obamacare. 2 pages long. That's it.

#2 They just abolished the Global Warming Committee. Talk about killing the liberal's sacred cow.

As the retiring White House press guy pointed out the other day, there is no way this bill is going to get through the Senate. Which is fine, its only purpose is shaping the public awareness portion of the battle space.

#4 I thought our AG died some time ago. If not, he is doing a superb imitation of a corpse.

#5 TW, I don't expect them to be able to repeal it before 2012, if even then. I expect them to keep sending it every quarter to the Senate, and maybe even to Obama's veto but that will keep it in the public's mind.
Defund will be the other way to keep it from happening until 2012.

#6 ObamaCare's individual insurance mandate has been declared unconstitutional by Judge Henry Hudson.

Good. The House is playing hardball from the outset. They are going to turn over a lot of rocks that should be turned over. Let the light shine in. There is a lot at stake.

#8 John, yes we do have an AG. Just not in the sense you're probably used to.

#10 Obama keeps Holder on the downlow for the same reason he keeps his past associations with folks like Ayers and Wright on the downlow. The press doesn't want to have to cover his cronies, and Obama's just trying to help them not do their job.

And that includes the gratuitous language that basically call Obamacare a piece of shi+.
