Rand Paul won the Republican Senate primary in Kentucky. His campaign is considered the first authentic Tea Party victory. He is the 'face' of the Republican version of the Tea Party.

Mr. Paul had a very interesting discussion with Rachel Maddow on her show tonight on MSNBC over the tenth item (as he called it) of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 where government can tell private owners what they can and cannot do with their place of business. He's also apparently against the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 with these words, "Requiring businesses to provide access to disabled people, Paul argued, isn't "fair to the business owner."

You've probably heard of term that law firms use, "Pro-Bono" cases right?

Pro bono publico(usually shortened to pro bono) is a phrase derived from Latin meaning "for the public good". The term is generally used to describe professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment as a public service.

I am by no means an expert when it comes to the creation of jobs but it just sounds logical if when you look at the potential of what any new health care/insurance reform could bring to America, how many jobs that reform could bring along with it.

When experts were explaining the reason why we had to save companies like General Motors (GM), Chrysler and others, they pointed out that the thousands of jobs lost if these companies were to go belly up didn’t just include those in the headquarters and office areas; it included those that reached across the nation. The automobile parts industry, the fabric industry, the tire industry, factories that put the parts together, the paint industry, the window/glass industry and yes even the oil industry would all lose jobs because business would drop dramatically.

Wouldn’t the reverse effect happen if over 40 million new patients were to suddenly have access to affordable, or in some cases free because of their income, health care? Those Americans that have been turned down for health insurance because of pre-existing health conditions would suddenly have access to the health care they need.

The DCCC is on the air with a new TV ad in the NY-23 special election, a Republican-held swing seat that opened up when Rep. John McHugh was appointed Secretary of the Army by President Obama. The new ad goes after the GOP nominee, state Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, for voting for higher taxes -- the sort of attack we typically see Republicans launching against the Dems....

Senator Max Baucus released his health insurance plan yesterday, mandating those that don't have coverage to get some - whether they can afford it or not. Even the President is planning on forcing Americans to buy some form of health insurance, so even he has flipped on his campaign pledge to not 'mandate' coverage as then Senator Hillary Clinton wanted to do.

It has occurred to me that perhaps another way to get back at least a portion of the money spent on health care for the uninsured is to require that they pay a USER FEE on any amount of medical bills they incur.

In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, former Democratic President Jimmy Carter attributed much of the conservative opposition that President Obama is receiving to the issue of race.

"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man," Carter said. "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that share the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African Americans."

Does it seem odd to anybody else that just at the right moment when (R) Rep. Joe Wilson yelled the words, "You lie", a camera person has got his or her sights on Wilson last night during the Presidents health care reform speech?

I don't know the way things are set up over there but I find it hard to believe that each and every representative, senator and cabinet member has a camera pointed in their direction through out the whole one hour speech. Yet somebody (AFP) was able to catch Rep. Wilson yelling those words out.

Fifty-two percent of people questioned say the president's policies will move the country in the right direction. An equal percentage feel the same way about the policies of the Democrats in Congress.

What do Americans think of Republican policies? Forty-three percent say the GOP's policies will move the country in the right direction. Nearly half of those polled said congressional Republicans would move the country in the wrong direction.

But the percentage of people who think Obama will move the country in the right direction has dropped 11 points since May, while congressional Democrats have seen a 5 point dip. Congressional Republicans have seen a 4 point rise over the same period.

Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke said in a speech last month that the Fed and Congress, as well as other governments and central banks around the world, deserve credit for stopping the global economy from falling into a depression.

"Without these speedy and forceful actions, last October's panic would likely have continued to intensify, more major financial firms would have failed, and the entire global financial system would have been at serious risk," he said.

Michael Steele is starring in a new TV ad by the Republican National Committee, which will run on select national cable channels and in Florida.

Make it illegal to ration health care based on age. Prevent any government role in end-of-life care," Steele says. "And stop bureaucrats from getting between seniors and their doctors. A few things we should all agree on. The Seniors' Bill of Rights."

Ruben Navarrette Jr., a nationally syndicated columnist and a regular contributor to CNN.com wrote the following:

It's not every day that you see an administration devour itself. But that's pretty much what happens when you have the Justice Department investigating the CIA. This will poison the relationship between the entities, which still have to work together to keep America safe in the war on terror.

And we're expected to believe that Holder is acting on his own, without approval from the president. Obama has said he wants to "look forward, not back" and called this "a time for reflection, not retribution."

This is not a good look -- not for Holder, not for Obama and not for the administration...
