...Dogs, the fiscally conservative House Dems, said this week that he would not vote for any bill that includes a public plan. If there was one major casualty of the talk of death panels, Nazi comparisons and screaming matches at all those town-hall meetings - which reverberated through the echo chamber of cable-TV news - it was the public plan. Democrats had hoped to include a government-run insurance program in the bill as a way to provide enough competition with private plans to keep costs down, but opponents derided it as the first step toward socialized medicine.

The robust Kennedy of 1980, announcing "The dream shall never die," was a young lion in winter, defiant in his beliefs even in defeat. The ailing Kennedy of 2008, stricken with incurable...
Pedro Canabal, spokesman for Mexico's Tax Administration Service, which oversees the customs agents, seemed to echo policy recommendations like Rand's last weekend when he emphasized the importance of more sophisticated training and detection equipment - of better cops rather than better copters. "We need more than just a body with a weapon," said Canabal. He gets it. And if the Mexicans get it, it's about time the Americans...
