From newsnet5.com: KETV in Omaha reports that a gas station is about to open near 129th and Q streets named Terror Free Oil, and the idea is to offer consumers petroleum products from countries that [...]
Taking a look around the infosphere…we’ve got a lot of people saying a lot of different things about Iraq. The most surprising comes from Charles Schumer, who says that Iraq will not be the focus of the 2008 elections… In place of promises for a new tone in Washington or a focus on such issues [...]
The minimum wage bill saw a lot of action in the Senate but few actual results. As promised, Harry Reid let the Republicans propose a line-item veto amendment on the bill. That was rejected 49-48, but could come back up again because that vote was far less than the 60 needed to invoke cloture and [...]

Rule by decree? From the BBC: Venezuela’s National Assembly has given initial approval to a bill granting the president the power to bypass congress and rule by decree for 18 months. President Hugo Chavez says he wants “revolutionary laws” to enact sweeping political, economic and social changes. He has said he wants to nationalise key [...]
Well, I’m glad you asked… Republicans halted ethics legislation yesterday, because they want a line item veto in the mix. However, as John Cole points out, since the line item veto was deemed unconstitutional, they’ve had 6 years to come up with some type of workaround but, as of yet, haven’t… There was no mention [...]
The House passed the legislation, and now it’s going to the Senate.
