Apparently, Henry Waxman (D-CA) has been sniffing around the Bush Administration again–this time about an Environmental Protection Agency decision to reject California’s efforts to reduce Greenhouse Emissions within its borders and override scientific recommendations pertaining to ozone standards. The involved officials suddenly forgot everything they ever did in their job… and the House promptly issued [...]
Splintering of the Base?
Reuters has an interesting piece up about young, white evangelicals–not my favorite group, but I read on. Apparently, these voters are less two-dimensional than their elders, looking beyond the issues of Abortion and Gay Marriage and looking towards issues like the War in Iraq, Global Warming and Environmental Issues, and Social Justice.

Why Is He Still Here?

So, what did I think of it you ask? Frankly, my mind is [...]
Bush’s Tax Cuts and False Causes
Most often, when a supporter of the Current Administration touts any piece of economic good news (such as revenues, unemployment, or consumer confidence), they hold Bush’s still controversial tax cuts as an economic silver bullet, our savior from economic hard times brought about by Clinton (not 9/11). It could be a further attempt to [...]
