Update: Carrie Prejean has been fired as Miss California.  Yep, the Angry Left got their way, but is there really a future in being the spokesperson of a bankrupt state, anyways?

Being that it's National Offend a Feminist Week, I felt a sense of duty to report on the leaked topless photos of a popular gay marriage opponent. It's the least I can do.  ;)

"It's pretty clear that the worst is over for the economy right now," says Steve Massocca, of Wedbush Morgan Securities.

Sweet! Stocks are now up over 30% off their lows, and all the pundits agree ... the BULL MARKET is back!  Sing it with me now ... Yahoo!

Celebrate good times, come on! (Let's celebrate)

A celebration to last throughout the years

WARNING: Never take financial advice from a pundit.  Why?  Because market punditry/opinion is a lagging indicator, not a leading one. They're good at telling you happened, but not at telling you what will happen.  But, you say, "You've been a bear all along, and the market's up huge!  Shouldn't you be telling us it's safe to get back in the market?" Nope.

Why? Please Tell Me Why!

Mercedes Campbell is one of the 1,700 students in a Washington, D.C. school voucher program authorized by Congress in 2004.  The successful Opportunity Scholarship Program gave kids like Mercedes the chance to escape one of the worst school districts in the country.  Not only was the program popular, but it was very successful too!

But ... the Obama Administration with the help of the Democrats in Congress, effectively killed this program which allowed low-income children to attend private schools.

So what's going on out there these days ...

In Memoriam: Former Congressman, VP candidate, and pro football player Jack Kemp died yesterday at age 73.  We're Not OK, Jack. We could use a good man like you right now!

Bloggers Beware! A bill sponsored by Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) would criminalize controversial and impassioned speech on the internet, and she's already picked up 15 sponsors.

Good-bye Democracy ... House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has been actively blocking federal investigations of corrupt Democrats. Pathetic.

Good News! Rep. Ron ...

Are we about to see a ban on books?  What about a ban on movies?  Is it possible they may even ban your Kindle? Oh yea, I know, I know ... "that'll never happen."

Well, here's a dirty little secret for you, and this is something you're sure to want to know.

It's not that there's too much money in politics, the problem is too much power in government. Government regulates everything, and of course, people want to affect the course of government.  So the campaign finance reformers ultimately, what they want to prevent, is that.  It's the ability to affect the course of our government.  It's the ability to affect which way people vote.  That's the dirty little secret about campaign finance law.  They don't just want to control money, they want to control speech.
