I really wish our country would make such bold moves: Finland has become the first country in the world to make broadband a legal right for every citizen. From 1 July every Finn will have the right to access to a 1Mbps (megabit per second) broadband connection. Finland has vowed to connect everyone to a […]
Yesterday the Democrats released the outline for immigration reform, but there is something missing. The issue, which goes to the heart of the matter, is the hiring of illegal immigrants. Under current laws the fines for businesses that hire illegals is laughable. It’s such a small amount that the fines actually becoming nothing more than […]
It looks like some Texas charities are trying to ascertain a child’s status as a legal resident or not before allowing them to receive gifts in their toy drives: They don’t claim to know who’s been naughty or nice, but some Houston charities are asking whether children are in the country legally before giving them […]
Just ask Michelle Malkin: The House is now in a rare Saturday session for the government health care takeover ram down. So a bill that will affect virtually every citizen of this country is a “ram down” because it is being voted on on a Saturday. What would that make a bill being voted on […]
The crapspiracy theorists over at World Net Daily have probably out done themselves this time: If President Obama were indeed born in Hawaii, was it while the islands were a territory of the United States?

I think back to a time so long ago, when states were upset over the federal government using their national guard troops for a war in a foreign land. In a time when a small town in California didn’t want military recruiters there, so that town would quickly be labeled as some sort of traitor. […]
This story is from Saturday and I haven’t seen much mention of it: The bank has instructed Wall Street law firm Chadbourne & Parke to pursue blogger Mike Morgan, warning him in a recent cease-and-desist letter that he may face legal action if he does not close down his website. Florida-based Mr Morgan began a […]
Finally! From Juan Cole: I was told that Warren’s friends among the MPAC Muslim community had urged him to call Melissa Etheridge Friday night in the run-up to their being (serially) on the same stage Saturday night, and that he did so and they talked for half an hour. During his address, Warren mentioned also […]
The right wing conspiracy nut jobs have been having a field day bogging down our courts with claims that Obama isn’t eligible to be President, claiming he is not an actual citizen. Well the latest claim has been shot down by the SCOTUS: The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New […]
