Game On
newsweek:
Alter, on the SCOTUS ruling that corporations are people too:
The Citizens United case is the Roe v. Wade of the 21st century, only the roles are reversed.

Coakley Lost. So What?
newsweek:
Health Care reform is far from dead. Alter:
To say this should wreck the Obama Administration’s health care policy is like saying that when Democrats took over Congress after a landslide victory in the 2006 mid-terms they should have killed the Bush Administration’s Iraq War.

hunterpryor:
To: Rush Limbaugh From: Roger Ebert You should be horse-whipped for the insult you have paid to the highest office of our nation. Having followed President Obama’s suggestion and donated money to the Red Cross for relief in Haiti, I was offended to hear you suggest the President might be a thief capable of stealing money intended for the earthquake victims.
