On Today's ATG: Spectre Investigates Pats Videos? HIllary Admits Health Plan Would FORCE Compliance Tomorrow:Ben Powell Returns!

Enjoy the sounds of statism as Arlen Spectre threatens a Senate investigation of the Patriots' video scandal (against the Jets). http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/sports/football/04notebook.html?_r=1&r...

Then, taste the lovely flavor of gubment health care, as Hillary Clinton admits (almost) that she would have the feds DOC private pay in order to get the money for the national health bureaucracy she espouses. Gard has the sound, derived from ABC's "This Week, with George Snuffalupagus".

Rate Cut - More Nonsensical Thinking from Government Money Manipulators -- STOP MIXING GOVT AND MONEY!

The announcement by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that the government-backed monopoly on US currency issuance would cut the Fed Funds Rate by .75 of a percentage point, bringing it from 4.25 to 3.5% was greeted by most economically knowledgeable people as one of the biggest mistakes in recent economic history. It also provides more evidence that Mr. Bernanke doesn't know anything about what causes inflation and inspires the so-called "business cycle" (this is actually a government-money-monopoly created phenomenon).

"Homeland Security" Tsar Keeps Pushing for NATIONAL ID

Despite many states (17) fighting REAL ID (created in the twisted "Republican" head of Senator James Sensenbrenner), Homeland Fascism Czar Michael Chertoff announced today that he will push for a spring implementation of the regulation, which will undoubtedly cause incredibly long lines at airports (longer than the ones ALREADY caused by gubment security), which will be blamed on the airlines.

Check out this article, especially if you are a "conservative" who is worried about illegal immigration. You are buying into a police state, kids.

Possible Breakthrough in Alzheimer's Treatment -- Observe Undertone of "Unapproved" by Feds...

This promising article from the UK indicates that a drug used to treat arthritis might also have benefits for people suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. BUT... The US government has not "approved" it for use against inflammation in the brains of Alzheimer's sufferers. Thus, it can't legally be used.

Nothing like the gubment further harming our standard of living.

Fmr. Pakistani PM Bhutto Assassinated, Schmuckabee's Record, and... BIG News for the Intellect!

Today, it was confirmed that former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, leaving lots of fingers being pointed at President Parvez Mushariff, and how he handled security. He is even being accused of the murder, although most believe the killing was an al-queda operation to kill one pro-westerner and take out Mushariff politically at the same time. Gard will talk to Jed Babbin about the situation, and you can read more at www.humanevents.com

Also, Gard will study Mike Huckabee's record in-depth, just like he studied John McCain on Wednesday. Check it out!
