Within one day after President Obama was sworn in for his second term, Harry Reid was putting in motion the vote to eliminate most filibusters. Here is the list of the Senators that think this is such a good idea they chose to co-sponsor it: Sen Baldwin, Tammy [WI] – 1/22/2013 Sen Begich, Mark [AK] [...]
Forbes Magazine just ran a rather awesome, if not damning, article. I loved it. It listed the states where there are more “takers” vs “makers”. And, it very quickly condemned those states, as well as advising anyone investing to steer clear of those states. One of them, being my own. They chide those states for [...]
OK, this is where this all started: A hearing was held at the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife in Frankfort on whether or not new regulations should be passed allowing elephant rides in the Commonwealth.

Senate Bills 773 and 778 are working their way through the Senate. They address cybersecurity. However, they are getting a lot of slack. Now, the heart of concern is in S. 778, which creates the Office of National Cybersecurity Advisor. There are plenty of excellent and not-so-excellent comments on these bills if you follow those [...]
The Senate passed the DC Voting Rights Act. In order to get it passed, they gave an additional seat to Utah. Senator Joe Liberman was quite thrilled, as was Eleanor Holmes Norton. However, from a fiscally conervative standpoint, this is screwed up. The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year [...]
This isn’t the first time this has happened, but it’s being discussed again ( via Kerry Picket at Newsbusters.org ): The House Energy and Commerce Committee is also looking at how it can put in place policies that would allow it greater oversight of the Internet. “Internet radio is becoming a big deal, and we’re seeing [...]
