I’m not really a member of the porkbusters’ club. I don’t agree with a lot of what some people define as pork. Using a very narrowly defined criteria that automatically defines something as waste doesn’t work. I’ve pointed that out here several times. However, every now and then, some things just scream pork. Take this [...]

I pretty much figured this would happen a lot sooner than I did find it. Jeff Fecke at Shakesville ponders:

However, in November 2004 Bush nominated him to be the next Attorney General. That’s when his work with The Patriot Act came front and center. And, [...]

Several times in this campaign, Hillary Clinton has cited her failed health care reform agenda of the early nineties.
