Ugh.

This is not ok.

I didn't see this earlier, because I make it a point to ignore most of the noise Wonkette makes.

In Focus: Hijacking Troops for Pork

Posted by Katie Favazza on Thursday, March 29, 2007 4:50:46 PM
Le'ts break this down.

$103 billion for emergency funding for the war in Iraq = GOOD.
$21 billion in additional pork = BAD.

"This bill uses our troops as collateral. Congress is telling the president he cannot fund body armor for our troops serving in the Middle East unless they get 16 million dollars for extra office space in Congress first."

Watch the video for more.



What is this "additonal spending" going to fund? Besides extra office space for our humble public servants? The pork on this bill includes $74 million for peanut storage and $25 million for spinach growers, among a plethora of other expenses, none of which have anything to do with winning the war or supporting our troops.

It's pretty obvious why 80% of Americans disapprove of how Congress is spending your tax dollars.

Not so fast... Your thoughts could become a federal crime.

Posted by Katie Favazza on Thursday, March 29, 2007 3:54:28 PM
Visit www.stopthoughtcrimeslaws.com, a service of Family Research Council, to learn more about how Congress wants to criminalize your thoughts.

Yes, it goes without saying that violent crimes against anyone, homosexual or no, need to be punished. But to be arrested for your nonviolent thoughts, or simply for reciting a biblical passage?

Don't let Congress get inside your head.

Bluey on The Blunts

Posted by Katie Favazza on Thursday, March 29, 2007 2:55:21 PM
Rob Bluey has 2 great posts about the Blunt boys.

To celebrate the Missouri attention, here are a few of my previous Blunt-related posts (mostly Matt):
Gov. Blunt hates poor women?
"Rome if you want to, Rome around the world"
Did the CATO Institute give your governor an A?
Romney-Blunt '08?
A future in DC for MO governor Matt Blunt?
Two-thirds of MO nursing homes have fire saftey violations

"The Politics of Footwear"

Posted by Katie Favazza on Thursday, March 29, 2007 2:36:43 PM
Great article here.

I'll admit, I was scolded in a conservative office once because I was not wearing pantyhose with my skirt. Then again, this was an office that formerly forbid women from wearing pants... ("You do know our policy, right?" "Yes, ma'am. It won't happen again.")

Thankfully, working for a website means the dress code rules can be bent a bit.

No more Law and Order?!

Posted by Katie Favazza on Thursday, March 29, 2007 2:23:08 PM
Sad, but maybe true. Sigh.

At this point, it's looking like it would be a small price to pay.

I'm not on anyone's bandwagon yet, but I'm just saying... (emphasis mine, text Mona's):

After leaving Washington, he continued to practice law and slipped into acting as easily as a wagon rolls downhill. They were making a film about his legal exploits and couldn't find anyone who could do Fred Thompson as well as he did himself.

His voting record is solidly conservative. He is articulate, self-made (his father was a car salesman), highly intelligent, and exudes calm authority. His star power offers him an opening with independent voters that other candidates can only dream of, while his solid conservative credentials will excite the Republican base.

He hasn't dreamed of becoming president since he was in diapers. But he has noticed that 57 percent of Republicans tell pollsters they are unsatisfied with the current field.

It may be that no one can play a Republican president better than Fred Thompson.

"Steering investments away from countries in Washington's doghouse"

Posted by Katie Favazza on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 10:15:18 AM

American companies that do business with countries subjected to U.S. trade sanctions face increasing financial and political pressure to stop as tensions between Iran and the United Nations Security Council worsen.

As a result, many companies are severing connections -- or plan to when current contracts end -- with customers in the 13 countries or regions penalized after the U.S. accused them of supporting terrorism, human-rights abuses or other unacceptable behavior.

The clamor spotlights how scores of U.S.-based companies manage to do business in sanctioned countries either through offshore subsidiaries or using export licenses granted by the Treasury Department. After seeing this traffic grow briskly for several years, companies now find lawmakers stepping up efforts to tighten restrictions and shareholders and fund managers steering investments away from countries in Washington's doghouse.

More on "terror-free investing" here.
