By
Susan Johnson
Even though the technology isn’t there, Congress is pushing it and we will be stuck with expensive, substandard cars: Many members of Congress believe they know what the car company of the future should look like. “A business model based on gas — a gas-guzzling past — is unacceptable,” Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said…

I came across some more interesting articles I thought I’d share: Here’s a very fascinating article about a woman who was trying to make a decision whether to go into the abortion field or not. I’m going to spoil the ending and tell you that she decides against it: The things she cared about —…

Susan Johnson
Well, you always knew your elected officials weren’t the sharpest knifes in the drawer, here’s confirmation: US elected officials scored abysmally on a test measuring their civic knowledge, with an average grade of just 44 percent, the group that organized the exam said Thursday.

Looks like the Vatican is ready to fight against Obama and Catholics who support the FOCA. The possible signing of the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) by President-Elect Barack Obama would be “the equivalent of a war” an unnamed senior Vatican official recently told TIME magazine.

Obama’s a hawk???
By
Susan Johnson
Or would you lefties call him a chicken hawk? Isn’t that what you guys call hawks who haven’t served in the military? Evidently, the anti-war lefties are miffed that Obama’s filling his cabinet with…er…neo-cons? When is Obama going to appoint someone who reflects the progressive base that brought him to the White House? He won…
Obama’s team still trying to lower expectations
By
Susan Johnson
They’re worried that the nation expects him to heal the economy right away but they don’t see an economic upturn in the near future. What about his economic plan? Wasn’t that supposed to fix the economy? He made the promises and now he’ll have to deliver. Too bad he packaged himself as a new kind…
