Republicans broaden strategies for overhauling Social Security.
Washington—House Republican leaders vowed Friday to push through Congress an overhaul not just of Social Security but “retirement security,” grabbing the baton President Bush handed them at his prime-time news conference and promising to run with it.
“The House of Representatives will respond to the president’s challenge of addressing a fundamental safety net that is in trouble,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas of Bakersfield.
FIGHT the LIES of the Liberal Media: Tell the Media to report the REAL polls on Judicial Filibusters!
This week, the Washington Post and ABC News released a new “poll” claiming that “by a 2 to 1 ratio, the public rejected easing Senate rules in a way that would make it harder for Democratic senators to prevent final action on Bush’s nominees.” The headline read, “Filibuster Rule Change Opposed”!
Well, that sure sounds convincing… until you look at WHO they polled, and WHAT they asked!
Because, as it turns out, their “polling sample” of 1,007 “randomly selected adults” consisted of 47% identifying with the Democrat Party, and only 38% identifying with the Republican Party! And the question asked? “Would you support or oppose changing Senate rules to make it easier for the Republicans to confirm Bush’s judicial nominees?”
New Organization wants to Downsize Washington, DC.
We believe the federal government has grown too large, too intrusive, and too expensive. We believe in constitutional limits, small government, civil liberties, federalism, and low taxes.
We want to end laws and programs that don’t work, cause harm, and violate the Constitution. We want to restore the full force of the 9th and 10th amendments, which reserve most social functions to the people and the states.
Our goal is to reduce the federal government to a tiny fraction of its current size, decentralize power, end deficits, federal borrowing, and monetary inflation, and eliminate most federal taxation and the IRS.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
