The Wall Street Journal has a good article about Senator Tom Coburn, who has blocked 90 bills in 2007. We should all be thankful to him for stopping wasteful projects. Stopping stuff is Sen. Coburn’s specialty. In a Congress that has had trouble passing even the simplest legislation, Sen. Coburn, who proudly wears the nickname [...]
Karl Rove has a good piece in the opinion section of today’s Wall Street Journal. His piece addresses the fact that this year’s Presidential Primaries effectively end in five weeks, even though the candidates have been campaigning for longer than ever. The first problem is the overall length of the campaign. There are few more [...]

Tom Tancredo (R-CO) is going to drop out of the Presidential Race today. The five-term Colorado congressman planned to make the announcement at a news conference in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for Mr. Tancredo or his campaign.

Dan Fogelberg, singer of The Leader of the Band, among other songs, has passed away at the age of 56 after losing his battle with prostate cancer. Here’s a brief excerpt of that song (my favorite Fogelberg song): The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs [...]
Only ONE Senator, Jon Kyl (R-AZ) had the guts to vote against the Bush-Clinton housing bailout.
