With much of the media attention on the Republican primaries and essentially legislation that looks good in an election year, there is a major piece of legislation that has been quite overlooked. What is so important about this legislation? Well, it represents one of the fundamental jobs assigned to Congress by the U.S. Constitution.

Or, Al Franken’s Intellectual Dishonesty, Part MMMCDLXIII
Perhaps the quote which best defines now-Senator Al Franken is a little disclaimer he placed in the intro to his laughably-titled Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. It goes, “Everything in this book is true. Either that, or it’s a joke. If you see something that doesn’t ring true, you’ve probably just missed a hilarious joke, and should blame yourself rather than me.”
Franken’s career as political activist has basically been one “joke” after another. He’s claimed Bill O’Reilly “lied” about being born in

Re-elect Harry Reid?
by Ronald A. Rowe July 26th, 2010 | Congress, Political Opinions
How could this have happened? The Harry Reid era was over and done. His grand arrival on the national stage highlighted his every foible and magnified his failures to the point that he was un-re-electable. It was just a matter of waiting for November.
