Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


HOLLYWOOD LIGHTS

Former Washington political pollster and communications specialist Frank Luntz has grown a beard, packed his bags, loaded up the truck, and moved to Santa Monica, Calif.

Now we learn he's just finished a new book, "What Americans Really Want ... Really," to be released this summer as a sequel to his 2007 best-seller, "Words That Work."

Mr. Luntz tells us his transition from politics to business has gone well, with more than a dozen Fortune 100 clients and two dozen Fortune 500 clients signing up for his services in 2008 alone.

He still plans to spend one week a month in Washington, and appear regularly on the Fox News Channel, albeit seated before a fake Los Angeles backdrop instead of the U.S. Capitol dome.

BIRTHS ANNOUNCEMENT

The U.S. Census Bureau projected the Jan. 1, 2009, total U.S. population at 305,529,237 - up 2,743,429, or 0.9 percent, from New Year's Day 2008.

During January, one birth will occur every eight seconds in the United States and one death every 12 seconds. Net international migration, meanwhile, will add one person every 36 seconds to the U.S. population.

Altogether, this means an increase in the total U.S. population of one person every 14 seconds.
