We discussed this law in an earlier post, and I’m happy to see that it was declared unconstitutional.
Time and time again we see these attempts to nullify Roe v. Wade and it’s getting really ridiculous. This particular law was especially egregious considering Roe v. Wade was decided on the issue of PRIVACY.
The Court held that [...]
This made me laugh. I love Al Franken.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Al Franken has taken the unusual step of shutting down Sen. Joe Lieberman on the Senate floor.
Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, currently is the target of liberal wrath over his opposition to a government-run insurance plan in the health care bill.

I think pulling an applicant’s credit score is just plain crap. What….people with good credit don’t steal? In today’s atmosphere where companies are going broke left and right, I think the applicant has more to worry about than the company does.

Threat or promise? Here’s some advice to AIG’s executives…..don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out. I doubt I’m the only American who is sick of the threats from business executives when they don’t get their way.
A week after the first bailout, execs went to the St. Regis Resort in [...]
What’s the point of extending insurance to more people if you are cutting the benefits of medicare recipients? That just leaves the medicare patients in the same boat as those who previously didn’t have insurance….unable to afford needed medical care.
I’ve said all along that while I support the idea of health care reform, I would [...]
For many people the recession means one thing – no job. I’m not sure exactly what the answer is to the unemployment problem but something must be done. We will never, as a nation, pull out of this economic slump until people who want a job can find a job.
The unemployment rate is considered a [...]
