Illinois Should Have Gone Differently The loss of a senate seat in Illinois is almost the Democrats' equivalent of GOPers nominating Christine O'Donnell in Delaware, Ken Buck in Colorado, and Sharron Angle in Nevada, and Carl Paladino for governor of New York. Not quite; but the choice of Giannoulias was disastrous, and some so-called progressives contributed to the disaster.

Rush Limbaugh: An Army of What? What Oxycontin scandal? With ample finances, celebrity defense attorney Roy Black, a stint in rehab, the commiseration and sympathy of the right-wing media machine, and his undeniable usefulness to the national GOP, Limbaugh returned not just to work but to an even more lucrative and full-throated career--a radio show picked up by hundreds of stations; two books published; his web site; and a monthly subscribers letter.

A Watershed Moment in Health Policy When every man on the street or female head of household knows that choosing to file a claim may mean getting a premium increase, the continuing lack of exact information on insurance bad practices comes to seem rather expedient. This is not rocket science; if claims processing is the locus of widespread problems, then claims handling needs some attention, some enforced standard of good practice.

One more public option: Expand Medicare to college-age young adults Under the previous administration, our DOJ was MIA regarding insurance-sector abuses. While fraud against insurance companies-and against Medicare--by customers has been extensively prosecuted, the feds have typically not prosecuted bad faith actions-delay, deny, defend--by insurance companies against customers.

Sotomayor and that dangerous word "Better" As the nonprofit media watchdog group FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) notes, the right managed to frame the debate, if you call it that, over Sotomayor. CNN among other media outlets has ceaselessly and selectively quoted only that one "wise Latina" sentence, with no gesture in the direction of context or objectivity. But thus far, televised commentary even on the one quoted comment has missed the point.

Tax day, hedge funds, and tax havens: Murky waters in the Caribbean SEC filings show that hedge funds connected to Marvin P. Bush--youngest brother of former president George W. Bush, former GOP finance chairman in Virginia, and head of a northern Virginia hedge fund-raised almost $10 billion by March 16. The investments were obtained by Bush hedge funds, hedge funds directed by Bush co-directors, or spin-offs of Bush hedge funds.

Fitzgerald Subpoenaed Blagojevich for Dirt on Obama Contacts, leaving out Blagojevich donors A newly released internal Blagojevich campaign document shows that the U.S. Attorney's office in Chicago bypassed actual donors to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in Dec. 8, 2008, subpoenas of Blagojevich records, choosing instead to demand records on incoming Obama White House personnel.

Politicized Justice Department Firings Are Not the Only Investigation Needed Other issues besides politicized hirings and firings in the Justice Department are left over from the previous administration. The Department of Justice is not the only area where genuine investigation is needed.
