The defeat of Senator Ted Stevens means another Republican Senate seat lost. Anchorage Mayor Democrat Mark Begich will replace Stevens in January. Congress is one seat closer to a filibuster-proof Senate with two elections still pending in Georgia and Minnesota. The departure of Stevens could be seen as sweeping the “dead wood” out of the [...]
The UAW has been working toward their demise for years now. An overinflated worker compensation package and a less than quality product is not an equation that equals success or longevity. This overinflation has been built on the backs of automobile customers with a hefty amount of worker’s benefits packages built into the cost of [...]
Three senate races remain unresolved, Republican Senator Ted Stevens and Anchorage Mayor Democrat Mark Begich in Alaska, Democrat Jim Martin of Atlanta and Republican U.S. Sen.

On October 8, 1954 President Eisenhower signed HR7786 changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day honoring veterans of all wars. The Uniforms Holiday [...]
Now it’s the auto industry that needs a bailout. Seems General Motors and Ford are reporting heavy losses. Why is it you don’t hear Toyota whining and moaning about needing to be bailed out? Is it the auto workers union stifling these companies? Unions are in business to perpetuate themselves, union members are secondary concerns. [...]
