News flash: the economy still stinks. If you blame the government, you have shocking company in The Buffalo News, which ran a story Sunday on how the feds aren’t quite fixing everything or anything. Unfortunately, the paper claims that Washington is at fault for a curious reason, namely because...
Chris Lee Fights Against Obamacare...
In less than a year, every member of the U.S House is up for reelection. That means, every member who voted for government-run health care has a chance to be voted out. Right now, however, I cannot stress the importance of supporting members of Congress who stood up for the taxpayers, and against the...

Toby Harnden at the Telegraph (UK) says (and I agree) it is a slap in the face to...

With the election over, I thought I give my post-election thoughts on some local races I covered.
NY-26: Chris Lee
It was a good night for the voters of the 26th district. They saw through Alice Kryzan’s smear campaign and elected Chris Lee to represent them in Congress. The choice was clear: Send...
