Twenty Items of Interest (v.43)

| January 26, 2009

1.  I think any U.S. Legislator who was for the closing of Gitmo, lost the right to say, “not in my neighborhood.”

2.  Palin book deal rumor going around… FALSE – according to Greta Van Susteren (who seems to have an in with the Alaskan First Family).  Her reason for getting the facts out there?

Why correct this ? Because information on the internet is malignant…and if the facts don’t get corrected, the lies and misinformation just multiplies.

I noticed it was mentioned in the print edition of the Des Moines Sunday Register.

3.  Want to see if your Senator or Representative is on Twitter?  Check out this network map to see if you can find yours.

8.  NCLB Testing is a waste of time for public schools and home schools.

  • Wisdom

13.  Is abortion a right?
