Morning Briefing

For April 23, 2014

Hillary Clinton Will Be Old By 2016
The left is very angry at me for pointing out, while filling in for Rush yesterday, Hillary Clinton will be objectively old by 2016.  In reality, what the left should be upset about, is that after 8 years of Barack Obama, their deep bench for 2016 will consist of one old woman who, if you strip away all the scandals, has no record of her own on which to run. And I say that is someone still not convinced she is going to run.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post ?

Washington State threatens to send Obamacare costs through the roof
OK, here’s the situation. There are three major elements to healthcare plan decisions:

• Cost: How much does it cost per month or year, just to have it?
• Deductible: How much does the consumer have to kick in for any given procedure?
• Network: Who is willing to take you on as a patient, if you use that plan?

With me so far?  Good.  What Obamacare does is turn all of this into a zero-sum game . . . please click here for the rest of the post ?

Reports from the front line in the War on Wives
No sooner did I write about the War on Wives than a member of the American aristocracy walked right into the crossfire.  We do indeed have an aristocracy – people who are allowed to be fabulously wealthy without facing a single word of class-war criticism, and whose every utterance is given enormous weight by media courtiers.  Many of these aristocrats can be found in Hollywood.  However, not even a movie star can get away with dissenting from the strictly enforced groupthink against traditional marriage, as actress Kirsten Dunst discovered. . . . please click here for the rest of the post ?
