Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

Now this is what you call Contest of wills.

Boehner calls anti-surge GOP senators ‘wimps’

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

I guess the Republicans are beginning to eat their own. I can’t believe this. For a Democrat this is a dream come true.
They’ve turned into the Democrats, two years ago.
I’m only joking.
Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.) called for comity Wednesday during a meeting of the Republican Conference after House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) referred [...]

One post, three things to ponder

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

It appears one of the Marines who had been charged in the Haditha case will be cleared of at the very least the murder charges.
It is my hope that the others will also be found to be innocent of cold blooded murder.

Silly Things That Keep Me Awake

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

As many have probably guessed I am a chronic insomniac. I don’t stay awake because I’m worrying about something. A lot of times I just ponder the greatness of the universe and wonder how anyone can think it’s made randomly.
Other times I think silly thoughts such as:

Shifting attitudes towards GLBTs

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

Bouncing off of Guss’ post on the Democratic debate on gay issues, the Pew Research Center reports that familiarity with gays “Is Closely Linked to Greater Tolerance.”.
There’s some interesting comparisons below: 1) The big gap between those older than 65 and the rest, and surprisingly similar numbers for the other age groups. I would [...]

Proof that tax cuts work.
The nation’s budget deficit will drop to $205 billion in the fiscal year that ends in September, less than half of what it was at its peak in 2004, according to new White House estimates.

Mr. Gonzales’s Inattention.

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

This is an editorial from the Washington Post.
Once again, new information raises questions about statements by the attorney general.
“INEVER saw documents. We never had a discussion.” Those were the words of Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales in March when trying to distance himself from the Justice Department’s controversial decision to fire eight U.S. attorneys. The [...]

Lenders Appeal to Democrats on Subsidy Cuts.

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

This is going to be an interesting piece of legislation to watch. Let’s see how well they hold up against the lobbyist. They are always accusing the Republicans of catering to big business.
Will they fight or cave?
With the House set to take up legislation this week that would sharply cut subsidies to student loan [...]

‘No sun link’ to climate change.

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

I hesitated posting this because I heard the squabble that’s gone on for the past week.
It’s, I know, another study but the more information the better. Right?
A new scientific study concludes that changes in the Sun’s output cannot be causing modern-day climate change.
It shows that for the last 20 years, the Sun’s output has declined, [...]

Former Bush surgeon general says he was muzzled.

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

All administrations do it.
The first U.S. surgeon general appointed by President George W. Bush accused the administration on Tuesday of political interference and muzzling him on key issues like embryonic stem cell research.
“Anything that doesn’t fit into the political appointees’ ideological, theological or political agenda is ignored, marginalized or simply buried,” Dr. Richard Carmona, [...]
