    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864


    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

Gilmore up with YouTube video

Not only has Gov. Gilmore gone up with a video on YouTube, but the video was produced for the web and isn’t just a video of some speech.

Short and Sweet

Is Fred Thompson In?

That’s what I heard tonight from a Blue Dog Democrat Congressman who has close ties to some TN GOP members (and who even donated to Thompson’s senate races back in the ’90s.)

Jack Reid’s Retirement

As has been covered extensively on a number of blogs, Henrico Republican Delegate Jack Reid has announced his retirement from the General Assembly. Jack has been one of those elected officials people tend to love or hate, since he always says exactly what’s on his mind. Of course, his very unfortunate accident with his loaded [...]

Scientists Discover The Sun Doing “Impossible” Things

Wow, it turns out scientists don’t know nearly as much about our own sun as they previously thought.  Yet, Algore & Co. are sure that it must be man and not solar activity responsible for global warming (such as it is.)  Hey, when you’ve invented the Internet, I guess that gives you real credibility, right?

Chuck Colgan Retirement Watch

The Hampton Roads Daily Press sure seems to think that State Sen. Chuck Colgan (D) will be announcing his retirement soon.
Everyone is waiting for the retirement announcement from Sen. Charles Colgan, D- Manassas. Colgan doesn’t head up any committees but he is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee and a budget negotiator – [...]

It is amazing to think that Fred Thompson was elected to fill the remainder of Algore’s senate term when you read things like what Thompson said on today’s Paul Harvey Show.
Some people think that our planet is suffering from a fever. Now scientists are telling us that Mars is experiencing its own planetary warming: Martian [...]

Edwards to Suspend Continue Prez. Campaign

Breaking.
We ask that all pray for the full recovery of his wife.
UPDATE:
The Politico blew this one big time.  The campaign goes on.

Larry “Bud” Melman, R.I.P.

Virginia Prez Primary To Be Inconsequential?

It wasn’t so long ago, just back in 2000 as a matter of fact, that Virginia’s decision to move up its presidential primary to mid-February was viewed as turning it into a key state in the nomination process.  Looking back, it was Virginia that permanently stalled John McCain’s insurgent campaign and began the ultimate turnaround for [...]

Is John Edwards dropping out?

Is John Edwards dropping out of the Democrat ‘08 hunt for the presidency?  A noon announcement is scheduled.  Speculation in the media is that Edwards’ wife, who previously battled breast cancer, may have had a recurrence.  We sincerely hope that is not the case and pray for her health.
Sure Edwards is an easy target to [...]
