You may recall that it was recently reported Florida Governor Rick Scott has ordered state officials not to use the words “climate change” when discussing issues related to the environment. And now Wisconsin has joined the League of Denial by banning the staff of its Public Lands Board from discussing the matter, even if asked […]
Kansas, which is faced with financial shortfalls in the state budget and recently decided to pass a law saying welfare recipients cannot spend their money on cruise ships, now jumps to the front of the line when it comes to denying women the right to a procedure they are entitled to by the Constitution.

I’m willing to bet after Rand Paul appeared on the “Today” show earlier this morning and got testy with Savannah Guthrie, his campaign manager probably approached him and said, “Well, Senator, that could have been….better.” Paul has always come across as the kind of arrogant and self-aggrandizing jerk who thinks he knows more than others […]
