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 […]
Following up on yesterday’s news of the White House now using the open source content management software Drupal to power their site I decided I needed to expand on it a bit more for my less tech savvy readers. First an explanation of open source software is in order before an understanding of what it […]
The right is up in arms (no pun intended) over President Obama’s plan to scrap the Bush missile defense system. He hasn’t totally given up on it, instead working towards making a more mobile and cost effective system. The right just doesn’t like that. The main idea of this missile defense system has been for […]
Maria Bartiromo apparently believes that Medicare is available to all citizens, not just those over 65. Again we allow media types to help promote the lies of the health care debate. True Maria was one of those “economic minds” on CNBC talking about how great the economy was doing while it was crumbling before our […]
Last week I posted about how minority leader John Boehner wasn’t holding any town halls. Well it appears he has now decided to change course. And just check out where: House Minority Leader John Boehner has agreed to answer questions in a town hall setting at the Voice of America Freedom Rally on Sept. 5 […]

Franken captured 198 of the ballots, while Coleman took 111. The ballots added […]
Congress can give the telecom companies immunity from criminal and civil prosecution for illegally tapping the phones of millions of citizens. So why can’t Congress offer a sort of immunity to AIG for not paying up on these so called “contracts”? I guess our constitution just isn’t as important as the people who helped run […]
No more secrets! On his first day in office, President Obama put former president Bush on notice. His administration just released an executive order that will make it difficult for Bush to shield his White House records–and those of former Vice President Dick Cheney–from public scrutiny by invoking the doctrine of executive privilege. Shortly after […]
Or should I say – go into full swing? On this historic day we already have the mouthpiece of the right wishing for Obama to fail as President. Rush Limbaugh told his listeners: So I’m thinking of replying to the guy, “Okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need […]
