Muzzling the Loyal Opposition
Vodkapundit — Now that’s brazen : House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to re-write House rules today to ensure that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation.

Pelosi’s rule changes — which may be voted on today — will reverse the fairness rules that were written around Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America.” I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — when it comes to ...

Tolerant? Fair?
Babalú Blog: an island on the net without a bearded dictator — Tolerant? Fair? I think not.
