Unbroke = Enough funding to meet my modest needs.
Unafraid = Enough horse sense to distinguish those who hate me, from those who don’t.
Afraid = A Government that wants to “Keep me safe”.

I wanted to compile such a list myself, but the folks at WashingtonWatch.com beat me to it.
Here’s a list of the Congress People who had a “change of heart”1 on the Bailout Bill, and went from non-support to support in a scant few days.
The list also includes links to the MOC’s website, and most importantly, [...]

I have the sickening feeling that the House of Representatives will cave and pass the Bailout Bill1 later today, then adjourn and rush home for the election campaign.

I guess the Senate is planning a vote on Bailout Plan B in primetime tonight. Like wrapping the dog’s pill in raw hamburger to get him to take it, the Senate has added provisions to up the FDIC-insured deposit limit from $100K to $250K.

Ten minutes into the Candidates Forum on Service presidential forum now airing on MSNBC, and I’m wondering whether or not the title of this post might not be a more fitting theme.
McCain just spoke; I assume Obama is next. McCain just heralded the creation of the Department of Homeland Security as a landmark of [...]
Here’s a powerful post from downsizedc.org that I’d give my left one to have written.
… On July 4, 1776, 56 men stood up and agreed to pay the price for our liberty.
They had spirit.
The politicians who walk the halls of Capitol Hill are home in their districts now. They’ll ride in parades and give speeches [...]
Proud to wave the colors:

As John Sidney Walker McCain and Barack NMI1 Obama begin the run for the White House, I’d propose another alternative, who represents a Real Change: former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party nominee for the Presidency in 2008.
There’s a new sidebar item, with photo and linkage, that will adorn this old blog until the [...]
