Chris Dodd is mad. He’s quite upset too: “The idea that state by state would start developing its own immigration laws in the country — imagine what a patchwork that might look like,” He didn’t stop there.

Stuart Rothenberg over at Real Clear Politics ponders Chris Dodd’s future. He points out a lot of issues that have created a PR nightmare for Dodd. ( My favorite personally was Dodd moving his family to Iowa. I’ll bet people in Connecticut consider someone who ditched them for Iowa not election-worthy. ) Rothenberg rifles a [...]

Spending will be done one way or another until a proper funding bill is presented. The war won’t stop just because a few loonies [...]
