Politicians Who Voted “No” On The Clean Energy Bill


I'll admit I'm not privy to most of the details in this bill, but based on the cost (according to the article), it shoulds like a no-brainer to me.

"...the benefits of the bill could be enjoyed by ALL Americans for about ¢25 to ¢40 cents more in taxes a day. This sounds like a bargain to me! Many of us don’t mind paying $3 for a cup of coffee or $6 for a combo meal from a fast food chain."

‘Spy’ mum tells of abuse

I used to worry about this when my son was in school. Now that he is an adult, I worry about what will happen when my wife and/or I can no longer care for him, and he has to go to a home.

FTC plans to monitor affiliate blogs

I can see some good coming from this, but far too much bad as well. Since when is it illegal to get paid to say something? Now it turns into a freedom of speech issue. or is it a "truth in advertising" they are after? If there existed a magic bullet that you could immediately seperate the crooks selling snake oil and the honest Joe with a genuine package for success. Like I said, some good, and too much bad.

In any case it will take thousands of trained computer technicians at the FTC to keep up with this, day after day. I can see tens of thousands of cases where censorship is prevalent and an honest plan to make a dollar is dissected by a judge.
