Not By The Color Of Your Skin

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Two cases where public schools were using race in determining school admissions and which cases were upheld by two lower courts were overturned by the Supreme Court on Thursday, July 28, 2007.

Seattle, which Roberts said had never been under court orders to desegregate, used race as a tiebreaker in assigning students to schools where one […]

Morning Joe, That Went Well

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

The MSNBC morning show called Morning Joe had some real fireworks in the studio Wednesday morning. Co-host Mika Brzezinski had more respect for the show than to have the lead story be Paris Hilton waltzing out of county jail. I’m on her side with that. I don’t watch the show, but as […]

Senator Mel Martinez Needs To Account

Friday, June 29th, 2007

“I will do what I can on this topic, but I do think the burden has shifted to others to see what proposals, what solutions, they will offer and they will have,” says our Senator Mel Martinez.
Since the writer of this piece did not ask what kind of suggestions the Senator had received, it is […]

Immigration Bill Goes Down In Senate

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Now that the terrible immigration bill is down 46-53, we can start doing what everybody wants, finishing the border fence that was approved last year just prior to the election, ahem, and get it finished within a year.

Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) was invited to speak about the immigration bill with Sean Hannity today. Voinovich could not answer one question, out of two. That’s all the time there was because Voinovich took a shot at Sean, almost hanging up on him twice, until he finally did hang up. On […]

Mrs. Edwards Pleads, Ann Please Stop

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Chris Matthews had arranged for Elizabeth Edwards to call his Hardball program while Ann Coulter was on the show. Elizabeth Edwards is the wife of the man who wants to be President and leader of the free world. Despite the Matthews sandbag, Ann did just fine.

County Votes No New Taxes

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Taxpayers in Escambia County, FL voted nearly 2 to 1 to not increase the local sales tax by 1/2 percent. That makes twice in 3 years that voters rejected raising taxes. Maybe now the politicos will learn to live within their means? You know, like you and I have to?
From the supervisor […]

Immigration Bill Advances In Senate

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Lost that battle, but not the war. That’s one way to look at what happened in the Senate today. Today they managed to get the 60 votes needed for cloture (64 yes, 35 no, 1 did not vote) of the bill to end the accepting of amendments. On Thursday, after the proposed […]

United Nations, Useless In Darfur

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Or is it useless nations, united in Darfur?  You can lead a horse to water. . . Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice again chides the United Nations (Useless Nations?) saying that they and their members are ignoring solutions in Darfur.
“I will be very frank. I do not think that the international community […]
