Human Events writes today, “Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has an idea for cutting through all the parliamentary maneuvers and political kabuki theater: hold votes on Wednesday, in succession, on all three of the current proposals for avoiding Taxmageddon this January. Senate Democrats have been notably reticent to actually vote on any of the legislative props they’ve […]

In a column in the Montgomery (AL) Advertiser, two research fellows at the (you guessed it) Southern Poverty Law Center have raised the ultimate fear of not being a member of ICLEI: No grant money for sustainability! (Of course blame John Birch and call it names!) SB 477 isn’t just pointless; it’s actually stupid. If […]

Earlier this month, President Obama made a big show about rolling out a “to-do” list he had for Congress. In a speech in Albany, NY, he said, “[T]oday I’m announcing a handy little ‘To-Do’ list that we’ve put together for Congress. You can see it for yourselves at whitehouse.gov. It’s about the size of a Post-It note, so every member of […]

Governor Jindal of Louisiana was just reelected on Saturday; here is the Virginia Right report on the election. Jindal is determined to end the Huey Long era in Louisiana and I strongly support him in that regard.

Americans want policies that will create the right climate for job creation — and that means cutting Washington spending, not squeezing family budgets even more than they […]
