Top administration officials
cut backroom deals with the nation's top drug companies to win support
for President Obama's health care overhaul, threatening them with steeper
taxes if they resisted and promising a better financial deal for the
industry if they acquiesced.
It is as if we are all living
in a giant playpen and we have too many people who prefer to remain
infants, taken care of from birth to death. What is the result of all
this "party now--pay later" fun and frolic?
A new dark age is descending
across much of the Middle East as forces of Sharia Islam, enabled by
official U.S. govt policy, again demand strict enforcement of Islamic law
where women are tortured, raped and defiled with impunity.
While the ACLU is losing cases
in the federal courts, groups such as Judicial Watch have been victorious
in a number of lawsuits against the Obama administration.
The U.S. economy is looking
slightly weaker one day before a critical report on May job growth.
The Commerce Department is
considering naming Arab Americans a socially and economically
disadvantaged minority group that is eligible for special business
assistance.
We seem to think that we can
consume as much government largesse as we want and no one ever seems to
have to pay for it directly. We do. And will. One day. And the picture is
not a pretty one.

The Port Authority of New York
and New Jersey demands more money from a charitable foundation before it
will finish construction.
In a move that comes just
months before the state could play a pivotal role in the 2012 presidential
election, the U.S. Department of Justice contends that the state is
violating federal law in its effort to identify and remove ineligible
voters.
