• Kucinich toes the line. Editor Tom Knapp: Disappointing — Kucinich may be a socialist who favors “single-payer,” but he was correct and courageous in pointing out that ObamaCare as written is not much more than corporate welfare for insurance companies. BTW Michael Malloy notes, ‘Hey, look! A distraction!’: As long as this “Health Care” Bill is (forever) being debated... The continuing bank failures (and bailouts) are conveniently out of the spotlight!
• States’ rights gain ground.
• ACLU sues Vermont over phone tracking.
• Poll: most Americans OK with five-day mail delivery. Even the old who still use it.
• Some American RC nuns vs bishops over Obamacare. It’s an argument between statists/socialists really, both sides seemingly still reflexively Democratic, the liberal/Modernist nuns more so. The bishops are orthodox on abortion (the pro-lifers get played by the GOP as a subset of the Protestant right) but neither side questions stealing from some to give to others or defends liberty really. (Nobody here is questioning the good of helping the sick or the poor; the question is how to do it properly.)
• Turkey threatens to expel Armenians over genocide resolutions.
• National broadband plan creates FCC central planning.
