[Let Freedom Ring (Throughout the World)] The President's Speech: I'll tell you another idea we need to do is, we need to give workers the option that Congress has given itself, & that’s to be able to take some of their own money, some of their own payroll taxes & set it aside in a personal savings account they call their own, a personal savings account that’ll let them earn a better rate of return on their money, (applause), a personal savings account they can leave to whomever they want, a personal savings account the government can’t take away or spend on special programs. (Applause.)

[Hughes for America] The party of lynching: There's plenty of us who feel the same way and are quite educated. That's what an education gets you these days: The knowledge to know that Republican senators who are too gutless to cosponsor this measure (even AFTER the fact) showcase the same thinking that allowed for so many lynchings in the not-too-recent past. What's more irrational, Pat?

[Howling At A Waning Moon] Prices are high, and other sources are drying up, so more are pushing to open - or at least explore - Florida's coasts.: "I think people are recognizing that the cost of energy in this country is skyrocketing, and they want to do something about it," said Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Louisiana Democrat who is leading the Senate efforts for drilling. "A love for our nation's greatest beaches should not require us to put our heads in the sand."

[Let Freedom Ring (Throughout the World)] Fred Thompson for President?: "earthy" Thompson comes across, the fact remains that this man was for years a successful character actor who earned large sums of money for his ability to look concerned, interested, sympathetic, etc., on demand, in situations where you know it's not real. In Die Hard 2 as the head of Washington's Dulles airport, he actually looks physically pained when terrorists force a jet load of passengers to crash & burn on the runway. (Paradoxically, while he got to the Senate by playing the outsider, in the movies, Thompson typically personifies government authority: an FBI official, the White House chief of staff, the head of the CIA, a U.S. senator.

[Newsbull.com] <Newsbull> Sen. Lamar Alexander Blog: Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) today announced that they will re-introduce legislation to create a 10-state pilot study to provide state-by-state comparisons of U.S. history and civics test data for 8th and 12th grades administered through the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) to assess and improve knowledge of American history.

[Americablog.org] AMERICAblog: Because a great nation deserves the truth: People like Senator Durbin who express outrage at the downright dehumanization and torture that happened at Abu Ghraib at our own military's hands, or people like Matt Drudge and OpinionJournal who think that to be a "good American" is to shut up and lie when your troops commit pretty horrible crimes? I mention Drudge because that freak just linked to this story and titled it that Durbin "likened American servicemen to Nazis"!

[Colorweb.com] Legal Weblog DRS & Associates: 5/3/05: Last time I checked, the State of Tennessee has no ocean and no coastline. But Senator Lamar (now a/k/a/ "Admiral") Alexander has introduced the State Enhanced Authority for Coastal and Offshore Resources Act of 2005 that would allow states to waive the congressional moratorium on development in the offshore region known as the "outer continental shelf." Alexander's bill would allow state governors to lift the federal moratorium on offshore tracts over 20 miles from shore and collect a royalty payment on the natural gas that energy companies would produce.

[Notapundit.myblogsite.com] Not A Pundit Weblog :: Congress: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With beds brought in for an all-night session, U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said on Monday chances were "very, very remote" to avert a historic showdown vote over President Bush's stalled judicial nominees.
