Fear and Loathing in Waldorf, Md

Five years ago, I would never have guessed I'd have as much respect for Karl Rove as I do now. Now that's hope and change. From The Wall Street Journal -Obama and the Perfect Political Storm, It's hard to sell change voters don't think they need.

Health care reform means more power for the IRS. Has your head exploded yet? Seriously, why should the IRS enforce ANYTHING except collecting taxes? And ask yourself this, if the IRS is enforcing the 'individual mandate' on Obamacare, just how "voluntary" is Obamacare? Are your taxes voluntary?

Health care rally turns into shout-down

Finger bitten off during California health protest

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – California authorities say a clash between opponents and supporters of health care reform ended with one man biting off another man's finger.

Ventura County Sheriff's Capt. Frank O'Hanlon says about 100 people demonstrating in favor of health care reforms rallied Wednesday night on a street corner. One protester walked across the street to confront about 25 counter-demonstrators.

O'Hanlon says the man got into an argument and fist fight, during which he bit off the left pinky of a 65-year-old man who opposed health care reform.

A hospital spokeswoman says the man lost half the finger, but doctors reattached it and he was sent home the same night. She says he had Medicare.

Inhofe blasts Obama at Grove town hall I really, really like Sen. Inhofe. Support him if you can!

"U.S. Rep. Paul Broun is again raising the specter of Democrats turning the United States into a totalitarian state." Six months ago, Rep.
