Someone left a comment on on my post “The Future of Small Government Voters (part 2),” with a link to a post about the beef recall. The recall was due to the plant violating federal regulations by forcing downed cows to slaughter. The violations and abusive treatment of the animals were discovered [...]
I was getting ready to lay out my doom and gloom analysis of the state of our union, when my husband, aghast that I sounded so negative, said I was starting to sound like Pat Buchanan.
He was referring to Mr. Buchanan’s column on Town Hall from Tuesday, Subprime Nation, or really any column, for that [...]
Er..make that 3.7 million dollars, I guess.
Two of my favorite Vermont bloggers share their perspectives on the primary enforcement seatbelt law being considered (i.e. they get to pull you over just for not having a seatbelt on).
Jeff Soyer weighs in at Alphecca.As does Geoffrey Norman at Vermont Tiger.

In the meantime, I just read this story out of good ol’ California.
How many people does it take to [...]
Back before the election, I linked to a piece by Richard Viguerie, in which he declared that the Big Government Republicans needed to lose the election. Ever since, I have been receiving e-mail from one of Viguerie’s groups.
One great thing about that is that it contradicts my pessimistic view that the right does not [...]
