Nancy Pelosi ( yeah, I know, AGAIN! ), lambasted the Republicans for being nothing but crooks. Her silence on the Democrat Culture of Corruption has been deafening. This weeks’s scandal? Dianne Feinstein. Dianne Feinstein had been on the Military Construction Appropriations committee for six years. During four of those years, Perini Corporation and URS Corp [...]
Nancy Pelosi has assigned fifteen members to her new Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. These folks are listed below with some of their other sponsored legislations: Edward J.

A bill passed Congress yesterday and no one seemed to notice.

A while back, I did a thingy on the recently revised estate tax legislation that did pass. Namely, I predicted a slaughter of wealthy individuals in the year 2010 based on that legislation. They must have read it. Congress just revised the estate tax legislation to eliminate that one year bonanza for heirs in 2010. [...]
Legislation to open cable TV markets to more competition, possibly saving consumers hundreds of dollars a year, passed the House Thursday. First of all, I’ve been watching this, if not blogging on it. I have been 100% for it since I saw it floating around. Not for what it’s been advertised, but for this: The [...]
A constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage went down to Senate defeat Wednesday, but supporters said that several new votes for the measure represent progress that gives the GOP€™s base reason to vote on Election Day.
