In addition to the government subsidies already provided for wind [...] Trying to cut the budget Many Republicans ran last year on a platform of slashing Federal spending. Now that they have taken over the House of Representatives, they are having to come up with actual proposals to accomplish that. it’s harder than it looks. One of the reason that it’s so hard to significantly trim [...] Congratulations! Ive been watching the Maryland General Assembly as it plows through the current session and I’m pleased to say there seem to be far fewer outrageous, ridiculous and silly bills introduced than I saw last year at this time. So congratulations to our legislators! Fewer, of course, does not mean none. There is definitely some [...]

Today the New York Times carries a story about an agreement the Chinese government has signed with the State of California and General Electric [...] Salon at the Rue de Moulins Maryland’s struggle with gambling is at once funny and painful to watch – sort of like a bad Three Stooges movie. After years of arguing and posturing, Maryland voters finally approved slot machines in the state. The mechanism, a constitutional amendment which specified not only the location but also [...] One of the Great American Thieves For many Americans these have been tough economic times. Millions have lost their homes and millions have lost their jobs and are likely to stay unemployed for some time.
