Facts & Fiction About U.S.-Haiti Effort
Sen. Tom Coburn, DC Examiner
With the Haiti recovery and reconstruction effort moving at an unacceptably slow rate, many are asking hard questions about the U.S. response, and rightly so.However, the answer that emerged after former President Bill Clinton’s recent trip, which followed a chaotic non-debate about Haiti legislation in the Senate, is typical of election-year politics. Our relief effort is stalled because one senator supposedly is single-handedly holding up our mission in Haiti. That senator, of course, is Tom Coburn.
Britain Starts to Shrink Its Government
GOP Poised to Reap Redistricting Bonus
Tea Party Movement is a Fraud
Peter Beinart, The Daily Beast
The British just showed how real conservatives behave—with the biggest cuts in government spending since World War II. Peter Beinart on how pathetic U.S. Republicans look by comparison.This fall, a group of kamikaze conservatives, terrified by mounting debt, outraged by excessive government spending, and unafraid of hard truths, are rallying to save their children and grandchildren from a future mortgaged to the central bank of China. Too bad they live in England.
ObamaCare’s Incentive to Drop Insurance
Gov. Philip Bredesen, WSJ
One of the principles of game theory is that you should view the game through your opponent's eyes, not just your own.This past spring, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (President Obama's health reform) created a system of extensive federal subsidies for the purchase of health insurance through new organizations called “exchanges.”

Cost Of The Iraq War. $4-6 Billion For a Lie. |
Where's Osama?On Sept. 11th, 2001 George Bush said he would catch bin Laden dead or alive. He never did, we used to run a counter showing how many days it had been, but Obama finally took care of it for him. Just another Bush lie. |
The Hollywood Liberal started in 2004 at the height of the Bush Administration madness in America. We were inspired by the late great Bartcop.com. The very first thing I did when the site started was to get arrested at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York. My arrest at the start of a march from The World Trade Center was later ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge. On New Years Eve 2014 the case was finally settled, with a judge awarding a class action suit that I was part of over $26 Million. I posted daily on the blog up until the end of The Bush error, and the site is now run as a history of the whole fiasco. Feel free to browse the old postings, pictures, & comics (an HL favorite) It reveals the twisted history of the times. Thanks H.L.
