A Dixie Carpetbagger

So, to salvage this week, I have three good news items.

First, Oprah will stop showing up on the boob tube– in 2011.  Starting in 2012, her only media exposure will be when she appears on the cover of her magazine, which is every month.  (H/T Tam)

Second, the Wall Street Journal blog asks whether the MacDonald case will cause a Constitutional reawakening.  As Uncle says… that’s the plan.  Here’s to Alan Gura’s continued success.

Lastly, Ron Paul’s “Audit the Fed” bill came out of committee.  Add to this the fact that “Turbo Tax” Tim is getting grilled.  But he’s still blaming the Republicans… naturally.  (H/T Uncle)

Now, for the last bit of business. Harry Reid is trying to take a test vote this weekend to get the “health care” bill onto the floor.  Contact your Senators and let them know that you don’t want this to happen.   Remind them that 1) their seat will eventually come up for election and 2) if this “overhaul” works like it has in every other country, people won’t be happy.  Heck, even a quick look at the taxes involved makes my blood pressure spike.
