Mexican president and Congress display ignorance on assault weapon ban
Ignorance. Putting their heads in the sand. Feel good legislation. I’m sick of politicians who cry for more restrictions on firearm ownership by law abiding citizens in the United States. Mexican President Felipe Calderon urged the return of the AWB today, and many in Congress cheered.
Read MorePresident Felipe Calderon to Wolf: Of course we check immigrants IDs
The good news Mexican President Calderon doesn’t hide his hypocrisy. The bad news he doesn’t care. That should be enough to infuriate even the fence sitting Americans when it comes to Arizona’s illegal immigration bill. You know the one that prohibits profiling by race. The one that prohibits cops from asking about immigration status in…
Read MoreFull Blumenthal video shows mutually inclusive statements concerning service
The Internet was buzzing last night and this morning about how the New York Times left out what Rick Green at the Hartford Courant refers to as the attorney general’s accurate account of his service in the same speech when he said he served in Vietnam.

New poll from Rasmussen this morning. The poll was taken yesterday, but it’s not clear what time the poll started or completed.

Read MoreBlumenthal press conference features Vietnam veteran accused of embellishing his own record
Blogger Doug Ross and William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection think they’ve spotted a “poser” at the Blumenthal press conference. For those of you who are not familiar with the term, it applies to the thousands of people who claim either Vietnam war status or medals they did not earn.
Read MoreThe Evolution of Richard Blumenthal
Apparently, Richard Blumenthal’s Icarus-like plunge was a long time coming… “Former Representative Christopher Shays of Connecticut, a Republican who says he is a good friend of Richard Blumenthal’s, said in an interview Tuesday that he had watched with worry as Mr. Blumenthal gradually embellished his military record over the years. As prominent Democrats in the…

Although this story is about the situation in Texas, it is happening in other states as well. As it turns out, it costs more money to take care of the needs of senior citizens then what the government plan is willing to pay.
