State Legislatures Want to Tax Everything That Moves
Scott Pattison, executive director of the National Association of State Budget Officers, said many lawmakers were loath to tap more traditional tax sources during a downturn. “What’s pushing it is this incredible desire to raise revenue,” Mr. Pattison said. “But it’s coupled with the desire not to raise the general and sales and income taxes.”

Kudlow: Obama Declares War on Investors, Entrepreneurs, Businesses, And More
Let me be very clear on the economics of President Obama’s State of the Union speech and his budget. He is declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and venture-capital funds. That is the meaning of his anti-growth tax-hike proposals, which make absolutely no sense at all either for this recession or from the standpoint of expanding our economy’s long-run potential to grow.

Carlos the Jackal Applauds Obama
Emboldened by President Barack Obama's announcement he will close the Guantanamo facility housing suspected terrorists, one of the most notorious leftist terrorists of the 1970s and 1980s has written the president, asking him for help in finding a "former comrade-in-arms" missing for 14 years, and closing his letter with "Allahu akbar! ... yours in revolution." Ilich Ramirez Sanchez – aka Carlos the Jackal – penned his letter to Obama from the Paris prison where he is serving a life sentence for the murder of two French agents and an informer, and for a series of deadly bomb attacks in Paris and on French trains.

Archbishop: 'In democracies, we elect public servants, not messiahs'
One of the prominent and rising archbishops in the Catholic Church is warning against a "spirit of adulation" towards President Obama, who was portrayed repeatedly during his campaign with messianic images. In a message at St. Basil's Church in Toronto recently, Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput warned against following blindly. "President Obama is a man of intelligence and some remarkable gifts. He has a great ability to inspire. … But whatever his strengths, there's no way to reinvent his record on abortion and related issues with rosy marketing about unity, hope and change," Chaput said.

Eastwood thinks political correctness has made society humorless
Acting legend Clint Eastwood , 79, apparently believes that political correctness has rendered modern society humorless, for he accuses younger generations of spending too much time trying to avoid being offensive. The Dirty Harry star insists that he should be able to tell harmless jokes about nationality without fearing that people may brand him "a racist". "People have lost their sense of humor. In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist."

U.S. Declares Wide Swath of Mexico Off-Limits to U.S. Government Personnel
The U.S. State Department has declared a large swath of Mexico--including all of one Mexican state and part of another--off limits to non-essential travel by U.S. government personnel working in the country. “The U.S. Mission in Mexico currently restricts non-essential travel to the state of Durango and all parts of the state of Coahuila south of Mexican Highways 25 and 22 and the Alamos River for U.S. government employees assigned to Mexico,” says a travel alert issued by the department last week. “This restriction was implemented in light of the recent increase in assaults, murders, and kidnappings in those two states.”

Tough Reporting? CNN does story on the First Lady’s Toned Arms
First lady Michelle Obama has a fashion following, with blogs tracking her daily garment choices. She's on the March cover of Vogue in a sleeveless silk sheath. Then there was the purple sleeveless Narciso Rodriguez she wore to the president's joint session of Congress on Tuesday. And she's on the cover of the latest People magazine in a lacy pink number, also without sleeves.

Rush's First Televised Address to the Nation
“We want every American to be the best he or she chooses to be. We recognize that we are all individuals. We love and revere our founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. [Applause] We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. Those of you watching at home may wonder why this is being applauded. We conservatives think all three are under assault.

Another Tax in Business – Increase Work Comp Benefits
Adjusting the caps on workers’ compensation benefits to coincide with the cost of living will be considered by lawmakers this week. “I think it’s real important for families,” said state Sen. Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, who will introduce Senate Bill 258 at a hearing Tuesday before the Senate Commerce Committee.

Protesters gather at Sen. Claire McCaskill’s office in Westport
Protesters angry at Washington for the economic bailout and stimulus spending marched to Sen. Claire McCaskill’s office in Westport on Saturday morning. More than 100 people first gathered in Mill Creek Park in snow and subfreezing weather.

Law Enforcement Prepares Citizens for Increase Crime
Counties in northeast Kansas also may see an increase in illegal activity if the economy continues its downturn. Douglas Howser, Wabaunsee County sheriff, said he expects crime rates to increase in the coming months. "I anticipate an increase in thefts in rural areas due to unemployment and failing economic environment," Howser said. Jeff Herrig, Jefferson County sheriff, said that county recently has seen a rise in mail thefts. Detective Al Dunn, of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, says that agency is beginning to see a resurgence of meth labs. "We haven't seen a real increase in any one specific crime, other than meth labs," he said. "The price of meth has gotten so high, so they're going back to cooking."

Chiefs Pick UP New England QB
The cost of a franchise quarterback in the NFL is usually astronomical. In Matt Cassel, the Kansas City Chiefs might have obtained one for a second-round draft choice and picked up a starting linebacker as well.

“I pray God Almighty that one day the peoples of our continent, free at last, may shout with one voice: "God bless our America! And as your Luo grandfather would say: ALLAHU AKBAR! I remain, Mister President, yours in revolution.”

- Carlos the Jackal, in a letter of appreciation to President Obama

From Proverbs 15:29
“A cheerful glance brings joy to the heart; good news invigorates the bones.”

Gospel According to Mark 1:12-15

12 The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.
13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."

Mrs. Tiller Goes to Washington

The most demonstrative pro-abortion governor in the history of the United States has been selected by President Obama to become the Health and Human Services Secretary. Even though I am excited to have our Governor “out of Dodge” due to her horrible tax and spend policies as well as liberal thoughts on energy, I have great concern for the impact she will have in our nation regarding health care.

As HHS secretary, Sebelius will have a major impact in crafting a health care plans that could cover abortions with taxpayer funds or require insurance companies to cover abortions in their plans. Sebelius could also, if confirmed by the Senate, issue new regulations overturning the protections President Bush put in place that protect pro-life doctors and medical centers.

Sebelius is best known for her close relationship with late-term abortionist George Tiller, who has escaped prosecution and accountability on many occasions until just recently when a Wichita judge ordered the green light that his criminal case should be tried.

As Kansas governor for 6 years now, Sebelius’ lax standards has caused criminal cases to go uninvestigated. She has also dominated liberal campaigns with tainted abortion money through her political allies, to whom Tiller has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars not only to these allies directly, but to Sebelius’ own “Blue Stem” Fund. Her position favoring abortion is so radical and extreme that Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City called her to stop receiving communion until she disowns her support for the "serious moral evil" of abortion.

Governor Sebelius vetoed a bill last April that the legislature approved that would have strengthened the state's limits on late-term abortions. That followed by a year her veto of a bill requiring explicit medical reasons for a late abortion, which was preceded by vetoing other pro-life legislation in 2006, 2005 and 2003. She has appointed pro-abortion politicians to posts and committees that oversee agencies that investigate the violation of Kansas Laws on abortion. And she has allowed late term abortions to continue even though Kansas Law specifically does not allow the horrible procedure.

Sebelius has had secret fundraisers with Tiller and Planned Parenthood, many times at the governor's mansion, which she failed to officially report as a campaign event. Once again using Kansas’ taxpayer money to promote and honor abortionist and abortion related industries and to raise money for her or her friends campaign coffers.

The good news is that now the national spotlight is on Sebelius and her illegal activities will be investigated and looked at from people across the nation. They will find out that Sebelius political machine makes Chicago politics look like a day at grammar school. Sebelius is cunning attractive and liberal. She is far from the Blue Dog Democrat that the drive by media portrays. And her day in the Obama spotlight will provide the nation with a glimpse of the embarrassment we Kansan’s call, Governor!

As HHS secretary her damage to our country’s health services will be significant and her abortion power unyielding. More abortion parties and fundraisers to come!

Except this time the event location will be 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!
