Especially when it comes to corruption: Michael S. Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, arranged for his 2006 Senate campaign to pay a defunct company run by his sister for services that were never performed, his finance chairman from that campaign has told federal prosecutors. Of course Steele is denying it: […]
I just received an email from the Obama list which includes a link to this YouTube: Obama is going full force now. If you want to share the message, please click here.
It turns out that peanut company has a history of problems, but see if you can notice something interesting here: As far back as 2007, salmonella-laced products were shipped by a Georgia peanut company that knew the peanuts probably were tainted and sometimes after tests confirmed that contamination, inspection records show.

Orwellian almost doesn’t describe this: Weird. Weird. It’s so weird, the trial balloon foisted by State Senate Majority Leader Michael Waddoups, R-Taylorsville, that would establish a law enforcement database to track the identity of anyone having an alcoholic drink at a bar or restaurant.
