Threat warning is elevated. Brace yourself America, lawmakers went back to work today. There is a long list of things to do during this lame-duck session of Congress before the Republican majority moves in. One of the most contentious issues will focus on the Bush-era tax cuts that are due to expire in January. The [...]
Soon to be replaced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues her departure from reality. She now plans to run for the post of minority leader in the new Congress much to the chagrin of many Democrats in the House of Representatives. This is a woman that just doesn’t get it. Pelosi represented the voice of the [...]
While the terrorist threat may be up around the world the Congressional threat to America is down. Lawmakers have adjourned and gone home. No ramrodding unpopular bills through Congress against the will of the American majority, at least for now.

After all, members of Congress are tired from counseling, scolding and chastising corporate CEO’s for flying private jets to Washington to ask for the taxpayers money to bail them out.

Senator Joe Lieberman must be feeling the pain of playing in the middle to both sides of the political aisle.
