Sen Paul gets answer to weaponized drone question…

07-Mar-13

…this is not an insignificant victory for Senator Paul. Consider the wave of erosion of rights, from TSA scanners to bans on homegrown gardens, happening right now. For the Senator to get the AG to unequivocally affirm a check on executive power is big. Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on Facebookshare via RedditShare with StumblersTweet […]

3 lies about deficits

08-Jan-12

I don’t agree with the characterization of home ownership subsidies as “cruel.”  It comes across as an odd, emotive label in what the author otherwise attempts to rationally discuss.  I also don’t agree that private capital necessarily helps the impoverished shoemaker.  It will only do so if it benefits the same capital.

Recess appointments: a Presidential prerogative

08-Jan-12

The Senate is up in arms over the President’s use of the recess power recently.  I applaud President Obama for saying, “Enough,” and taking action.  (I do feel the CFPB appointment should have gone to Elizabeth Warren.  If he was going to buck Congress, why not with a more powerful nominee?)   Bookmark on DeliciousDigg […]

GOP to mandate forced reference to Constitution

It would put each legislator on the record as having backed a bill according to a provision of the founding document.  In other words, it would limit […]

Friedman: Third Party Rising

03-Oct-10

I think Mr. Friedman is optimistic. A third party candidate may very well rise up in 2012, but he or she will be fundamentally no different from the other two parties.

Dodd: concern about Warren, blah, blah, blah…

17-Sep-10

…the only reason any member of the legislature opposes Elizabeth Warren is money. They are so buried in the pockets of special interests it’s a wonder they even bother to put on a show. With this move, President Obama sends the message that his agenda for change is officially dead. Appointing Ms. Warren as an […]

Rangel: Don’t leave me swinging in the wind…

11-Aug-10

…this guy is a hoot.  He’s asking for a pass, or a break, on ethics violations.  Who does he think he is, a member of Congress? Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on Facebookshare via RedditShare with StumblersTweet about itSubscribe to the comments on this post
