Source: rightwingthinking.info via Robert on Pinterest On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, let it be known 40 states choose to recognize his birthday. It’s not a holiday or anything. It’s just a note that someone very important to this country was born on this date. Eight states choose to intentionally ignore his birthday. It’s kind of [...]

Arizona did a rather strange thing last week that has gotten little to no attention. Kinda surprising to me. Their legislature voted to eliminate permits for concealed weapons. The governor signed it to. This is not exactly a trend, but it may become one: I’m sure Arizona legislators possibly took two figures into consideration: Year [...]

Given the almost daily headlines and scandals involving ACORN, some members of Congress have decided that maybe ACORN’s not the best route to take involving some community projects. It seems like a no-brainer to me. You’ve accusations of voter fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, forging federal applications, shaking down banks to make risky loans, and [...]

The Energy Information Administration, who touts themselves as “Official Energy Statistics from the US Government”, released a rather astounding conclusion. While most people have been scare-mongering by saying Waxman-Markey will practically bankrupt most lower income people through much higher energy prices, EIA says this is not true at all: ACESA increases energy prices, but effects [...]

Just got the numbers for the Medicaid add-on from the stimulus package. I don’t deal with Medicaid directly, but it indirectly affects what I do in a large way.

One of Obama’s first actions is to restore the auto emissions waivers for several states that requested them under Bush. Bush said no, because mainly they were unenforceable.
