I tend to be against funding of special projects that reek of favoritism and payback. On the other hand, I tend to agree with Sen.

Conservatives across the country may have celebrated Republican Scott Brown’s defeat of Democrat Martha Coakley in the race to replace Ted Kennedy as Massachusetts’ next U.S. senator. In O’Fallon, Mo., however, the “party” didn’t last long for members of the K and N Patriots. At noon today, about 75 people met at the intersection of [...]

Senators Send Letter to NASA Inspector General
December 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

David Vitter (R-La.), chairman of the Subcommittee on Science and Space, and Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, sent a letter today [...]

Incredibly, it appears that Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan, the alleged shooter in the massacre that resulted in at least 12 dead and 31 wounded at Fort Hood today, served on the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force between April 2008 and January 2009 when Barack Obama was inaugurated as the nation’s 44th president.

In the video above, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) asks that the Senate consider a bill to allow offshore drilling, but Democrats, led by Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO), object.

Senator Offers Hope for Fixing Congress
October 4th, 2007 · 4 Comments
In case you haven’t heard, Sen. Pete Domenici is not going to seek re-election in 2008. Before he goes, Americans should offer heartfelt thanks to the 75-year-old, six-term lawmaker from New Mexico for, quite possibly, making his greatest contribution ever to the health and future of this nation. According to a recent news report, Senator [...]
