A federal judge has recently ordered the FDA to start selling the morning after pill (or emergency contraception) to women 16 years old and younger and without parental consent. There’s a case for parental consent for Plan B, but the GOP isn’t making it. Instead of focusing on the scientific and medical issues surrounding it, …
A couple of days ago, this article from Bloomberg hit the wires. Besides the near-miracle in itself that President Obama was preparing to submit a budget for the upcoming fiscal year (which assuredly will be voted down in bi-partisan fashion again), an interesting tidbit caught my eye: “Obama’s budget plan, to be unveiled April 10, …
Recently there’s been plenty of debate in the party on whether the GOP’s point of view on gay marriage should evolve. Setting aside my own point of view on the topic for a moment, I think that the problem is that the GOP is having a national discussion now instead of back when the issue …

It was a rare victory for conservatives and libertarians in what has been a series of defeats, both politically and in public relations. It was quite a moment. When Paul was at CPAC, his …
Fisker Automotive is a smaller-scale Solyndra that occurred under the Obama administration, but so few people in the general right-wing community know about it. The saga of Fisker ends in this electric luxury car company being a complete flop and a complete waste of taxpayer money. Furthermore it serves as another example of why the …
The reports from CPAC were horrific or encouraging, depending on your perspective. I did not attend, but I hardly needed to. I had my choice of mainstream media accounts — with their narrative of a rudderless, racist, classist (et cetera ad infinitum ipso facto blah blah) conservative movement — and cheerful, premature dispatches from friendly …
It’s hard to come up with a social issue where politician and popular opinions have changed so drastically just over the last 20 years. Gay marriage, once a fringe issue for those who supported it, is starting to pick up mainstream acceptance and even approval. Currently, same sex marriage is legal in nine states and …
In a letter to Senator Rand Paul on Monday, March 4th, Attorney General Eric Holder stated: “[I]t is possible … to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate … for the president to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States.” (.pdf link) without …
