Here’s a link to the Hill’s 50 Wealthiest Legislators in Washington! Somebody there missed Herb Kohl…since the 50th person is at $5.1 million, Senator Kohl should certainly have been on this list. The Milwaukee Bucks alone should put him near the top. Wisconsin didn’t do too badly: #26 Representative Jim Sensenbrenner is the Wisconsin [...] Posted by Proud Progressive on August 29, 2010, at 1:29 pm
Today in the NY Times, Laura Tyson, a professor at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley has her take on why we need a targeted second stimulus.

I wrote last week, about the brilliant piece by Jane Mayer, explaining how two of the richest men in America are pulling the purse strings and controlling the republican party(and the “tea” party).

The lesson for American voters is that their [...] Posted by Proud Progressive on August 23, 2010, at 4:44 pm
Every day there is a different case study in terms of what our world looks like under republican rule. The latest case greets us at the breakfast table with 550,000,00 eggs being recalled and almost 2000 people sick, , then we find out that the culprit is an habitual offender out of Iowa.

This afternoon marked the official end of the Iraq war as the last U.S. brigade combat team has left Iraq! While there are still 56000 troops US troops in the country it is no longer the debacle that Bush led us into.

The “Fox news” network of such miscreants as Glenn beck and Bill O has now donated $1 Million to the Republican Governors Association.
