QUOTE OF THE DAY - AT 10:56 A.M. ET:  From the great Mark Steyn, on the current health-care "debate":

DISSENT IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF PATRIOTI- . . . No, wait, that bumper sticker expired January 20. Under the stimulus bill, there’s a new $1.3 trillion bills-for-bumpers program whereby, if you peel off old slogans now recognized as environmentally harmful (“QUESTION AUTHORITY”), you can trade them in for a new “CELEBRATE CONFORMITY” sticker, complete with a holographic image of President Obama that never takes his eyes off you.

COMMENT:  Do you realize that virtually every concern expressed about Obama by responsible people during the last campaign is proving accurate?  There were concerns about his radicalism, about his lack of executive experience, about his "Chicago" style of politics, about his background, about his associations, about his inability to present a detailed program.

The people who expressed those concerns were often ridiculed by the media.

Now look what we have.
