With all the Rand Paul news going on, I think it’s time to put his anti-government rhetoric into some perspective. When people think government regulation, especially after you hear some Republican talk about it, you never think about the things that really keep us safe – things like fire safety codes.

Now it has come to light that the founder of this Alaska Independence Party has professed his “hatrto light that the foundered for the American government” and considers the American flag “damn flag”. But we also find out that Sarah Palin’s husband was a registered member of this group until recently. Why does Sarah Palin […]
Phil Gramm is McCain’s chief economic adviser and was one of the chief architects of the deregulation of the banking industry that helped get us into the mortgage crisis.

I think they are getting fed up: Two dozen scientists swarmed over Capitol Hill this week mad as vespinae ( hornets) at what they say is Bush administration meddling in environmental science. Organized by the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Endangered Species Coalition, the rumpled researchers won time in the offices of more than […]
