• Wow!  State of Virginia is contemplating a new state-wide currency in the event of a failure of the Federal Reserve / US Dollar.  Interesting stuff.
• State of Illinois votes to raise state income tax by 67%...sign me up!  NOT!  Perhaps they might give some spending cuts a real good try first.  What a bunch of politicians.
• Beware!  Since the Arizona shooting of a Congresswoman, some politicians on the left are trying to make an assault on the First Ammendment, Freedom of Speech.  The scary thing is who will have the power to determine what speech is appropriate???  You guessed it...da gubmint.  We have arrived!  It is 1984.
