This is Reform?

What length will liberals go to in order to remain in office? Read this column by George Will to learn what Senator Durbin of Illinois wants to do to fund election campaigns.

I also find it quite unsurprising that Durbin would insult Americans by claiing they are incapable of deciding whether of not to check a box, on their IRS form 1040, to opt in or out of giving $3 to the presidential election campaigns.

A telling quote from this column:
"Ironically," Mitchell said, "it is illegal under federal law for a federal contractor — any federal contractor — to make a contribution of his/her personal funds to any federal candidate, PAC or political party." Durbin's bill would change the statute to force federal contractors to finance the campaigns of candidates with whom they might disagree. Yet they still could not contribute voluntarily to those with whom they agree. "How," Mitchell asked, "does that possibly pass constitutional muster?"

Struggle Against Limits

A friend of mine started a new blog that I'd like to share.  Darren is a smart guy with a sense of humor with interesting points of view on several topics.  Please visit his blog.

It's Been a While

I have not posted an entry in a while.  There have been so many things I've wanted to blog about, and I have had trouble focusing.  Maybe it's all the rain we've been getting in the Ohio valley.

With politcal issues galore, and social and sportds to write about, I've had trouble deciding just what to share with you.

I have a nephew and a niece in Europe for a few months now.  My niece in Ireland is in school  there.  She is completing her education degree.  My nephew is traveling around Europe seeing sites.  I'm not real sure why he finds Europe so interesting.

My son lives in Kentucky, and says about his cousins that he does not know why they travel so far, because there's plenty to see in Kentucky that he has yet to see.

I have no tremendous desire to go live outside the USA, but there are a few places I would like to see from a tourist point of view.  But there are many places to go here at home.
