Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Kathleen Sebelius told CNSNews.com on Monday that a provision in President Barack Obama’s health-care law that requires small businesses to begin buying health insurance for their workers when they hire their 50th employee–or otherwise pay a penalty to the federal government–“will actually be a great incentive” for businesses to grow.
Not to imply, of course that there couldn’t be other explanations.
…or forgive. Things are not going to end well in Syria.

Are we going to do anything to people who kill Americans? Apparently not. The Bush administration never did — it would be pretty foolish to expect this gang to. We’ll bomb Daffy, but not do anything about people who are actually committing acts of war against us.

Iran is at war with us. Are we at war with Iran? In fact, they’ve been at war with us for over three decades, but we continue, administration in, administration out, to pretend otherwise.
Thompson, along with former Illinois governor Jim Edgar (R) and former Iowa governor Chet Culver (D) are part of a bipartisan coalition that has endorsed the National Popular Vote that would go into effect if states representing 270 electoral votes pass legislation.
The National Popular Vote bill has been signed into law in seven states — Maryland, Hawaii, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont and the District of Columbia — representing 29 percent of the necessary votes for the compact to go into effect.
I’m very disappointed that he seems so unaware of the purpose of the Electoral College, and is so willing to subvert the Constitution.

The administration of former US President George W. Bush had hastily linked Saddam Hussein, the ousted Iraqi dictator, to the 9/11 attacks.
That was one of the justifications for the 2003 US-led invasion, but the argument has since been widely dismissed.
No one in the administration claimed that Saddam was involved in 911, despite ongoing leftist lies to the contrary at the time, for which AP and others were happy to (and apparently remain happy to) be stenographers. The administration claimed operational links between Saddam and Al Qaeda, which did in fact exist.
The irony, of course, is that the reporter perpetuates this historical lie in the service of accusing Leon Panetta of a “gaffe.”
