P.S.
Michelle Malkin has a good piece.
Um...maybe there ISN'T a mass departure from Glenn Beck's show by advertisers (wait, liberals lie? NO WAY!)
Cindy Sheehan is a tried-and-true liberal; she is beholden to no one and knows where she stands, and you have to respect that.
Flip-floppers- White House pulls a Kerry (or, maybe, just lied again).
An opinion about veterans and end-of-life care.
Too much care in America's health care system? (The author references "Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer" by Shannon Brownlee- Brownlee is biased, but the book is very good, regarding the importance of payment reform.)

Late-Morning Update
Big Labor is targeting Democrats regarding the public option.
Company's close ties to President Obama's administration has gotten noticed- and Republicans are jumping all over it.

Morning Round-Up
Kathleen Parker thinks the Whole Foods CEO's WSJ piece has some good ideas- and liberals should appreciate them.
Jonah Goldberg: with a supermajority, you can only blame Republicans for so long about health care reform.
Remembering Robert Novak
The midsummer presidential budget analysis.
A take on the upcoming Afghan elections.
Why health care insurance is so expensive- and ideas on how to lower costs.
Democrats prepared to take on health care reform alone?
Former South Korean president has dies- The Heritage Foundation's president remembers.

Afternoon Update
Immigration...the other third rail. Even for President Obama.
Drilling is legal- President Obama has put $2 billion into it! Unfortunately, it's in Brazil...

Morning Round-Up
Eugene Robinson gives great advice to the current administration, assuming they want to pass liberal health care reform.
Iraqis are taking things into their own hands.
More businesses join the Glenn Beck boycott- which is legal, fair and the ultimate free market decision on free speech. There are consequences to saying certain things, and viewers and advertisers decide what will be on the air, not the government. (I'm not saying I agree with the boycott...but freedom is freedom.)
No more ratting out your neighbors to Big Brother.
Conservatives and liberals exercise their freedom to bear arms...but is it worth it? Is it necessary?
A good piece on constructive, societal discourse.
President Obama will have to face down Senate Democrats over the public option

Today's Closing News & Columns
Medicare is utilizing some of the too-little talked about payment reform.
The Australian vote on global warming policies were voted down- this piece explains why.
Tim Pawlenty makes a typically effective, forward-looking speech.
Typical Democratic hypocrisy on faith, as explained by Kathleen Parker regarding the White House Faith-Based Initiatives. It was a theocracy under Bush, but is bigger and yet uncriticized under President Obama...
Too Big To Fail Is Bad Policy
Liberals should like Whole Foods, instead of being emotional wrecks over its CEO's piece last week regarding free market health care reform.
The French might be onto something...seriously, it can happen.
My parents are selling the homestead- here are some good pictures of the place.

Morning Update
A refreshing piece: George Will says to get government out of gambling
Paul Hodes & Carol Shea-Porter have abandoned their constituents
Paul Krugman rants about the benefits of socialized medicine- and those who disagree are bought, apparently, by Big Business.
President Obama should not support Zelaya OR Chavez- but does anyway.
Jonah Goldberg explains rationing and life expectancy simply enough that even a liberal might understand...
Tiger Woods loses, big-time

Public Option May Be Dead
Apparently the White House is hedging its talk about the public option- GREAT NEWS!
This would have led to single-payer, guaranteed- so we should be happy with the ditching of this and the end-of-life counseling in the last few days. (However, conservatives should try to still offer legislation, much like Senator DeMint, Senator Gregg, and numerous House Republicans have.)

Happy Weekend
Today's Best News, Editorials, & Columns:
Tom Brady looked healthy in his first preseason start since knee surgery; Planned Parenthood wants the freedom to kill babies in South Dakota; The Financial Times reports that top media and advertising companies are forming a new group to challenge Nielson; and natural gas or oil company heads made seven of the top ten bonuses this last year.
Several influential Democatic Senators say Climate change should be set aside in favor of other, more practical legislation.
New Hampshire Congressional Members aren't seeing their constituents this November; but, hey, they have to win next year, so New Hampshire has a chance to show them the errors of their ways.
Senator Sherrod Brown is a Ohio Democrat who is not doing town halls- but did have a roundtable with supporters last minute.
The White House is attacking free speech- we need to hold them accountable, people.
Senator Jim Webb is in Burma- but the circumstances surrounding his visit are complicated.
The author says we can live with a nuclear Iran. I am not sure he's right, but he definitely makes a legitimate argument.
The United States is, well, doomed if we don't start using smart fiscal policy- and soon
Tiger. Is. AWESOME.
Rationing always happens- whether run by government or private industry.
President Obama's plan WILL lead to rationing- and not the kind that happens naturally, as do food, building supplies and other market-rationed industries.
Surprise, surprise- Newsweek attacks religion! This time, they almost have a point- until you get past the first sentence. It was actually a worse piece than the one attacking the Catholic Church last month (see my response to that one here).
