An Apology To Be Truly Sorry About - IBD - Investors.com
"Rep. Joe Barton says what everyone knows is true and his own party threatens to kick him out of his committee seat. We expected cynical political opportunism from Democrats, but not from Republican leaders.
Where are we as a society when the truth is treated as a something that can't be uttered in public?"

It will expand binding arbitration to local authorities, school districts and boards and do nothing to reform arbitration in cities and townships."
HB 6154 will extend binding arbitration to county corrections workers and greatly increase costs to counties and taxpayers."

France says EU wants global financial tax
My Way News - France says EU wants global financial tax
"French President Nicolas Sarkozy says European Union leaders will call for a a global tax on financial transactions.
He says the 27 leaders want the United States and others to back a tax at a Group of 20 summit of rich and emerging nations in Toronto next week - despite opposition from some nations.
It is unclear how exactly a global tax would work."
Maybe this is what they have in mind:
Banks have declared war -- on you
Changes are coming fast to the credit card world, and you can expect your bank to raise rates, slash credit limits, add fees and cut rewards. Consumers, brace yourselves.

Dangerous to our health
Dangerous to our health - The Boston Globe
"But if Obama is as opposed to a government-ruled health sector as he claims, why has he nominated Dr. Donald Berwick as director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services — far and away the nation’s largest health-insurance programs, at a cost of nearly $1 trillion — a man who openly adores Britain’s socialized health care?
“I am romantic about the National Health Service,’’ Berwick told a British audience in 2008.
“I love it.’’
He not only loves the National Health Service, he extols it as “an example for the whole world — an example . . . that the United States needs now.’’"

Politics Trumps Science on Great Lakes Drilling
Analysis: Politics Trumps Science on Great Lakes Drilling [Mackinac Center]
"The latest example of political posturing on environmental issues is a plan hatched by House Democrats that would ban drilling in the Great Lakes via a series of bills that, if passed by the Legislature, would place on the November ballot a constitutional ban on directional drilling under the Great Lakes.
Never mind that Michigan law already does not allow drilling in the Great Lakes, nor does federal law."

"Readers will remember that the case involved two New Black Panther Party members - one a local Democratic Party official and poll watcher - who used racial epithets and threats while standing at the entrance to a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day, 2008.
One Panther brandished a nightstick like a weapon.
After the case effectively had been won, political appointees of President Obama's dismissed or reduced all charges or sanctions against the defendants, and then they stonewalled multiple inquiries about the case from Congress, the media and the Civil Rights Commission"
