This is definitely good news. From Wash Post: The new rules would require companies to tell customers 45 days before terms of a credit card contract are changed, compared with 15 days now. And the rules would expand the list of changes requiring advance notice to include those involving penalty interest rates, which often range [...]
We’ve had flexible video screens before, but none with this resolution. The applications for this technology will be endless, and could especially help our soldiers in the field. In any event, very cool stuff here. Tweet
He was on CNN on Sunday, and the interview was posted to YouTube. I really like what he’s saying. Here are some interesting stats about Paul… * He has never voted to raise taxes. * He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. * He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. [...]
Sounds crazy, but just read… SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla. — A Florida man may have accidentally invented a machine that could solve the gasoline and energy crisis plaguing the U.S., WPBF News 25 reported.

Let’s be honest, it’s hard to toe the Republican party line on the WoT and not run into credibility problems. We can say we’re innocents, but we’re also not making any sort of dent in the proliferation of terrorism. Case in point, terrorism has gone up after 9/11. So what now? I’m sure Rudy’s well [...]
Dems are divided, but they weren’t going to get their bill passed anyway, and we can’t just defund the war. If you want a losing political strategy, that’s it.
