Climate Change Bill? Not This Year. Effort Runs Out Of Fuel.
The process of crafting a Climate Change bill has stalled in the Senate. The effort, which was never a high priority within the public consciousness, has fallen victim to its own ambiguous nature. How can you justify destroying whole industries and purposefully killing jobs in a bad economy, for the promise of maybe creating maybe […]

This bass growls just like I remembered. Here is an example (go to “Message Of Love” or “Inspire Me” for an example). […]
The Tea Party Movement – Mission Creep Sets In.
I was afraid of this. I am seeing more and more non-fiscal issues getting pushed into the TP agenda. From a link I provided in the previous post, a quote from one of the Tea Party organizers in Madera confirms that the message of fiscal responsibility is slowly being pushed to the side by those […]
