On another thread on this blog, Donald proposed that state Republican legislators should look at reducing the state income tax as one of the primary initiatives for our controlling majority to accomplish: “As a topic for general PV discussion, I’d like to suggest that we consider, and promote, an across-the-board cut in the Georgia state […]

Bill Simon, Thursday, November 30th, 2006

I am going through a little process right now to upgrade some of the plug-ins that help manage parts of this site. One of them is how people can “Subscribe-To” threads to be notified of when a thread is updated. That was upgraded tonight, but I have no idea as to whether any of your […]

I’m Not Sure He’s Right, But Michael Moore Sounds Coherent In This Letter…

Rumors have it that even with Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) endorsement of John Murtha (D-PA) for the new Majority Leader position in the House, Murtha went down by a vote of 149 to 86 in favor of electing Rep.

Bill Simon, Monday, November 13th, 2006

This is rather disturbing:A diesel-powered Chinese sub stalked the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier for who knows how long before being stumbled upon by a “routine surveillance flight.” Not a “nukuler” sub, but a DIESEL-POWERED sub. Great…just great.
