Kay Cuts
So while Texas' ranking senator may have voted against earmark reform, she has been out working to make permanent the tax cuts passed by Congress several years ago. That's good news, even if it does paint a complicated picture of Kay Bailey Hutchison as taxpayers and...
Breaking Wind
A state study shows that hooking Texas' major cities up to the new "wind farms" could exceed $6 billion -- that's more than $260 for every man, woman and child. The cheapest option would set still Texans back $3 billion. While the wind blows pretty regularly, and...
Kay Marking
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn has a great commentary out addressing congress' historic-low ratings. He lays the blame squarely on lawmakers' inability to control themselves fiscally. He specifically highlights the failure of the U.S. Senate to pass earmark reform legislation....

Pork On Fat
It's a delicious irony: Texas' taxpayers are being forced to fork over $250,000 to "invest" in a miracle drug that will allegedly combat obesity. Sound like more high-calorie pork? It'd be cheaper to tell the lard-laden to put the candy-bar down and go for a brisk...
Heating Up Unemployment
It's not just hot-air created by global warming proponents. Now they want your job and family income, too. Have you noticed that the ya-hoos yelling the loudest for policy changes to stave off global warming are usually the same quasi-Marxist ya-hoos who always look...
