Drilling moratorium may prove to be an industry killer.

And that’s not all. How about the rest of us, being held hostage by other countries – drilling off our own shores?

UPDATE: As I suspected.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS BLOCKED DEMOCRAT’S TAX HIKES

Posted on December 4, 2010 | Leave a comment

WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Republicans blocked legislation Saturday to let upper-income tax cuts expire on Jan. 1, a showdown scripted by Democrats eager to showcase GOP lawmakers as defenders of millionaires.

“Do we want to extend those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires at a time of huge deficits. I would argue vociferously we shouldn’t,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., shortly before the votes.

Republicans countered that no taxes should be raised at a time the economy is recovering from a recession. “It is the most astounding theory I have ever seen, raise taxes to create jobs,” said Sen. John Thune of South Dakota.

Both measures would have extended expiring cuts for the middle class.

Ironically, the votes were widely seen as a prelude to a possible agreement next week between the White House and congressional leaders on legislation that would avert tax increases at all income levels, as Republicans want.

UPDATEx2: Dream Act Will Not Die

Posted on November 30, 2010 | Leave a comment

UPDATEx2: Again, Michelle Malkin brings to our attention tomorrow’s likely nightmare vote (aka, DREAM Act).
I URGE YOU TO READ THROUGH IT. Especially interesting is the ist of ‘misdemeanors’ this DREAM Act will erase.
A few:
Examples of misdemeanors in California:
(1) Assault, CPC § 240
(2) Battery, CPC § 242
(3) Domestic Violence, CPC § 273.5
(4) Criminal Threats/Harassment, CPC § 244
(5) Reckless driving, CVC § 23103
(6) Possession of Firearms, CPC § 12020

An excellent status update by Michelle Malkin.

Be sure to remember those that vote for this – and vote them out come 2011 or 2013.

UPDATE: The cost of this DREAM Act is estimated to be near $6.2B.

Maybe not the first, but it seems while she is still Speaker of the House, NP wants to pass the Dream Act.

And Reid. And POTUS. (Don’t act so surprised. As if we don’t have enough to pay for.)

What say you?

I say, no way.

A couple stories from REDSTATE:

Armageddon: What Democrats Are Hiding & Why They Are Really Scared

“When asked for clarification, the person explained about the accounting rules developed to shore up underfunded union pensions and the dates when those union companies affected would have to assume their liabilities had the DC crowd (in particular, the Democrats and the unions) in a panic.”

Senate Republicans May Not Try to Repeal Obamacare

“In the past several weeks, there have been several closed door, off the record meetings of high dollar donors getting briefings from various elected officials, including several Senators. In each case the donors have been “reassured” by the Senators present that they have no intention of repealing Obamacare, just restructuring it.”
