Ivy League
Best of the Week June

This is the first time since November that I haven't had to think about studying!'Obscure Tea-Bagging Operation'
'Obscure Tea-Bagging Operation' http://www.futureofcapitalism.com/2009/11/obscure-tea-bagging-operation The Goldman Sachs-funded business news watchdog blog at the Columbia Journalism Review goes after a fellow non-profit news organization, ProPublica, for a ProPublica article on wasteful stimulus spending.

Citizens Against Government Waste has been around since 1984, and its 2007 IRS Form 990 indicates it had revenue and expenses of about $4.4 million, more if you include an affiliated 501(c)4 group.Blair's Ivy League Look

By Ann Coulter 09/09/09 http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=33485 12) Only national health care can provide "coverage that will stay with you whether you move, change your job or lose your job" -- as Obama said in a New York Times op-ed. This is obviously a matter of great importance to all Americans, because, with Obama's economic policies, none of us may have jobs by year's end. The only reason you can't keep -- or often obtain -- health insurance if you move or lose your job now is because of ...Code Red: DC Open for Business
Code Red: DC Open for Business America needs a warning system to identify the threats coming out of Washington David Harsanyi | August 26, 2009 One of the more ridiculed schemes to emerge from the Bush administration was the color-coded terror alert system. But the idea isn't totally useless.First implemented in March 2002 as a "readiness measure," it has been criticized for its wide-ranging ineffectiveness and susceptibility to political manipulation.Now, really, if we didn't believe in wide-ranging ineffectiveness and susceptibility to political manipulation, we wouldn't bother voting. So, in the spirit of sustainability, there must be some way to retrofit this alert system for a more practical purpose.You know what Americans could really use these days?Miss Affirmative Action, 2009
