The Republican primary contest is in full swing and the news has focused on that lately. So you may have missed that President Obama’s buddy Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Whoville) is demanding that the House haul the Koch brothers in for testimony on any connection they have to the Keystone XL pipeline. They say they...
I received an email about Newt Gingrich’s fairly recent book on the environment from the American Land Rights Association. The email asserts that he was a big proponent of taking away our property rights. I’ll let you decide: Gingrich quote from his own book: “That is why I worked so diligently as Speaker of...
The other day Senator Rand Paul was detained by the TSA when the airport security scanner went off out of nowhere. His theory is that the TSA sets the scanners to randomly go off so they can give people pat downs. He’s probably right. But I digress. TSA officials said he was “irate” during...
Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan, archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, recorded a message in which he comments on the Obama administrations decision to force Catholic Universities and hospitals to purchase health insurance plans which cover contraceptives and sterilization.

House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said early Saturday morning that Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) promised him the House will not vote on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)...
Note: I was holding off on publishing this post until there was some corroboration. See below. Is Big Brother is watching not only journalists and bloggers, but anyone who uses social media? So says the Russia Times. Under normal circumstances this wouldn’t be that bothersome to me. But considering that our president just signed...
President Obama sure does love the job killing EPA. So what if the agency’s regulations will cause job losses and brownouts! I guess he agrees with Lisa Jackson that the EPA is there to level the playing field on energy production. What else is one to think after he appeared at the agency to...
We can add Paul Ryan to the list of SOPA opponents. Good for him. “The Internet is one of the most magnificent expressions of freedom and free enterprise in history,” Ryan said in a news release. “It should stay that way. “While H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act, attempts to address a legitimate problem, I...
An Idaho couple bought a little piece of property with the expectation of building a home on that property. As they began to prpare the lot for building, the EPA came along and claimed that their property is a wetland and threatened them with fines. Their case made it to the Supreme Court and...
It pains me to bring you the news that the ban-that-isn’t-a-ban of the incandescent light bulbs we all love will likely take place despite the Republican’s successful de-funding of the rule’s implementation.
