3. Conservatives Remind Boehner They Can't Be Ignored - by Josh Withrow
John Boehner may have secured his third term as Speaker of the House, but he can’t be too pleased with how much effort it took.

Hypocrisy has never been a stranger in the ivory towers of academia, but the latest development among the faculty at Harvard is a particularly delicious bit of irony.

9. 2015 Brings ObamaCare Employer Mandate - by Tom Borelli
For most businesses the new year will ring in the ObamaCare employer mandate that was delayed  in 2013.
