Virginia finally decided the primary ballot. Everyone except Mitt Romney and Ron Paul have failed to meet the requirements to appear. That includes the current Virginia front runner, Newt Gingrich. But Newt isn’t going down without a fight. Instead he has said he has a plan: “Only a failed system excludes four out of the […]
The Senate and House have both passed the 2 month extension of the payroll tax cut, sending it to President Obama for his signature. Looks like Americans can breath a little easier this holiday, but the fight will continue after the first of the year.
I had a feeling this would happen. In all honest I don’t blame President Obama for it, I blame the weak-kneed Democrats: Rebuffed this month by skeptical lawmakers when it sought finances to buy a prison in rural Illinois, the Obama administration is struggling to come up with the money to replace the Guantánamo Bay […]
This is a priceless move by several House Republicans yesterday: When it’s a choice between strengthening the Patriot Act, or showing up for the Tea Party Patriots, what’s a GOP lawmaker to do?

After a couple months of perfecting this template, I think I finally got it. I also ditched the forums since they weren’t getting used. I may bring them back later using Drupal’s native system. I also added OpenID support. If you have an OpenID then you can login with that. Also there is now avatar […]
And Bush loves it: Lawmakers say they will push ahead with a presidential commission designed to root out waste and fraud in military contracts despite President Bush’s concerns that it could usurp his authority. Bush signed into law on Monday a wide-ranging defense bill that includes instructions to create a commission to investigate defense contracts […]
The Republicans have once again said “fuck middle America” and spent their time giving tax breaks to the rich: The Senate gave final approval Thursday to a $70 billion election-year package of tax cuts that will extend lower rates for investors and also save billions for families with above-average incomes. The Senate passed the measure […]
