Colorado’s Congressional Delegation Asked to Swear-Off Pork

February 07, 2012 JBudget & Spending

Congressional pork barrel pig-outs may for now be on hold, after embarrassing publicity about earmarking abuses shamed leaders into calling a temporary halt to the practice, but Americans for Prosperity-Colorado wants to prolong that pork-free diet by asking members of Colorado’s Congressional delegation to take a 2-year no earmarking pledge.

“Signing the pledge is one important test of whether the Congressman or congressional candidate is serious about reining-in runaway deficits and debt,” said AFP-Co State Director Jeff Crank. “Earmarking is an abuse of the budget process that Americans correctly recognize as an open invitation to corruption, cronyism, and vote-buying. We would like to see earmarking permanently banned, but we’re taking this one step at a time by asking for a 2-year promise.”

Energy is widely rumored to be one major focal point of the president’s State of the Union speech tonight – so be prepared to have your head spinning around on a swivel and keep all sharp objects safely out of easy reach. The gas production out of the president may rival what we’re seeing from the Bakkan formation.

When Automakers Become Social Engineers

January 12, 2012 JThis is a test

There's good news and bad news out of Detroit this week.

The good news, according to this blog, is that greens and automakers, after decades of being at loggerheads, now seem to be singing from the same sheet music on the need to produce environmentally-friendly cars like the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf. The shaming, badgering and blunt-force regulatory bludgeoning of automakers by Gang Green and government finally has bent Motown to the will of "gas-guzzler"-bashers. Now these former adversaries are as cozy as two peas in a pod.

And the bad news?
