Some call her a “rockstar” in the Republican Party. That term does not do her justice. The Rockstar image usually does not call to mind such qualities as poise, grace, and wisdom.

The Fall of Greece and Why it Matters Here.
If the Greek economy flatlines, very few will mourn but many could pay the price.
How do Secular-Progressive-Statists Celebrate the 4th of July?
The values of the Secular/Progressive/Statists are not those espoused by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and the rest of the Founders. Those men all believed in the Constitution and the Rule of Law. To the Progressive, those things are just quaint anachronisms of a bygone era, to be followed if at all, only when it suits their purposes.

Christie Brings Jersey Attitude to Race
He's plain-spoken and tough. If there is an opposite of spin, that is how he delivers his message. There is no sugar-coating, no nuance, no pretense to what he says. His though, no-nonsense persona is quintessential New Jersey all the way.
The Obama Administration Loses a Battle in Its War on Coal
The Obama Administration Loses a Battle in Its War on Coal In an effort to regulate coal plants out of existence in accordance with President Obama's war on coal, the EPA recently argued before the Supreme Court that they did not have to weigh the costs of new environmental regulations against the supposed benefits. In a ruling announced on Monday, the Court said no, instructing the EPA to conduct a cost/benefit analysis before implementing the rules. Some may consider this the Courts way of throwing conservatives a bone after two landmark decisions went against them, one dealing with the legality of Affordable Care Act subsidies, and the other legalizing same-sex marriage. Conservatives see both cases as the Court rewriting the law and using tortured language to make the law fit their desired outcome. The Obama administration and EPA may have lost a battle, but fully intends to win the war. This decision is in reality the SCOTUS telling the EPA what they need to do to win, in effect coaching them. The EPA will come up with wild predictions on cost savings, not unlike the supposed savings brought by Obamacare. Like those, these will be just as bogus and the Supreme Court will totally buy them.
News Brief
Does Justice Roberts realize that he just made the Court all but irrelevant as a means of upholding the Constitution? Apparently upholding legislation, even horribly written legislation, is more important.
Let’s have a discussion about “national discussions”.
The President has called for them, the press demands them, politicians propose them. We bloggers fancy that we engage in them, they're called 'national discussions', and the concept is so overused as to be almost meaningless.
