That’s the headline on CNN. The headline NOT on CNN is:
Unable to pay bills, London, Ky. YMCA closes
And, the reason they decided to give up?
Director Don Burgin said the London-Laurel County “Y” struggled with $6,000 monthly utility bills and its budget was further stretched by an increase in the minimum wage.
And of course, who do [...]

Fresh on the heals of Keith Ellison defying all logic and facts and coming to the conclusion if people had more money they wouldn’t be broke, Eleanor Holmes Norton has dropped this bit of wisdom on us as well:
The District has passed new gun legislation consistent with the recent Supreme Court decision overturning the city’s [...]

In my opinion, 9/11 was largely the responsibility of Jamie Gorelick. Jamie Gorelick is pure evil. Period. Her name figures prominently in several domestic disasters. Sure, she didn’t break the levees in New Orleans, but it was the climate of non-communication between agencies that contributed to the problems in a substantial way. So yeah, some [...]

And by stuck, I do mean stuck. Nancy Pelosi has agreed to take into consideration four bills aimed at energy relief next week. One item she absolutely will not even debate or discuss is offshore drilling. Her logic? Get this:
Pelosi reiterated her position that Republican calls for more offshore drilling represent another chapter in a [...]

Two headlines today I think sum up the Democrat financial agenda very adeptly:
Senate Considers Windfall Profits Tax on Big Oil
And
Obama: Give economy $50 billion boost
Now, without necessarily going into the pros and cons, or the nuts and bolts, it’s just typical of teh Democrat bigger government policy. Rather than fixing the problem, just tax more [...]

The unemployment rate was released today. It has suddenly jumped to 5.5%. This is the highest it’s been in four years. Now, this is a concern to me for two reasons.
In the past decade, if unemployment in May was less than January, it was less in December eight out of ten times. That’s a pretty [...]

Republican leadership decided that since so many people are making fun of the over-abuse of the word “change” in this year’s elections, they’d go with a new slogan themselves. So, not to be outdone by the Dems, they rolled out “Change You Deserve!” The Dems were quick to point out that the makers of Effexor [...]

On April 24, 2006, Nancy Pelosi made this promise:
With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress and its failure to stand up to Republican big oil and gas company cronies. Americans this week are paying $2.91 a gallon on average for regular gasoline [...]

Yesterday was another one of those mundane days where Congress passed a whole bunch of stuff that means nothing to anyone. Two bills kinda stuck out to me for one very goofball reason:
H. Res. 1021: Supporting the goals, ideals, and history of National Women’s History Month
and
H. Res. 1005: Supporting the goals and ideals of Borderline [...]

Here’s the news:
House Democrats on Tuesday failed to overturn President Bush’s veto of a bill that would have prohibited the CIA from using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques on terrorist suspects.
Good.
First of all, I don’t like the idea of locally politically motivated people determining national defense issues. War is not a feel-good endeavor. It’s [...]
