Uh-Oh. These New CBO Numbers Spell Death for the Public Option. Oct 31, 2009
"Over-constrained," Starr wrote this past June in the American Prospect (""), "the public plan could go into a death spiral ... as it becomes a dumping ground for high-risk enrollees, its rates rise, and it loses its appeal to the public at large." I've long thought that Starr was being too pessimistic because Congress would never design a public option this vulnerable. According to the CBO, however, that's just what Pelosi did. (Slate)

Another View: California has to lean on Obama Jun 26, 2009
" Hillel, the Jewish sage, famously asked. It's a question that needs to be heard in Sacramento, where too many of the state's elected officials seem resigned to denying medical care to 1 million children, cutting college scholarships, shutting the state's parks, throwing welfare recipients into the streets and laying off 60,000 state employees.The foremost dismantler of the state looks to be its own governor, who would terminate the state's health insurance program for working-class kids rather...

Does Torture Work? May 13, 2009
At The American Prospect, ripped Cohen for being hopelessly muddle-headed about the topic. "It really takes a startling lack of self-awareness to write a column about how you "know" that no longer torturing people has made America less safe, only to write another thumbsucking column a few weeks later innocently asking, "I have to wonder" whether torture works. Somehow, Richard Cohen can write several columns on the same topic without realizing he's contradicted himself. ". (CBS News)
