We all have heard the very outspoken Stevens Miller discussing his limited qualifications for state office. In September of 2007 he summed it up rather succinctly :

“No one should run for office if they don’t have experience in county affairs”

At the time Miller was running for the Board of Supervisors. Two years later, Miller is now running for delegate and the topic has changed to state level affairs. Does he have any experience in state level business ? As it is nowhere to be found on his limited resume, the reasonable answer to this question is “no”.

By his own words, he has no business running for state delegate.

Darth 0bama is altering the bargain. Pray he does not alter it again.

Like Vader with Lando Calrissian, 0bama alters deals at a whim. Will Congress hold him accountable for this egregious usurpation of power? Of course not. According to Congress, any government power is good — after 0bama takes to power to himself, they will merely take it for themselves. But any alteration of the deal after the bailout money was given and accepted is and ex post facto law, and unconstitutional. But neither 0bama nor our Congresscritters care about the Constitution, either.

this worked for me

If you are not aware, this year is the International Year Of Astronomy.

In May of this year, Hubble’s old imager was replaced with the Wide Field Camera 3, a new $132 million instrument expected to probe deeper into the evolution of galaxies and the shed new light on the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. It is designed to see back to about 500 million years after the birth of the universe.

Some of the newer Hubble images are absolutely amazing, and can be seen at HubbleSite.

In other news, NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope recently announced the discovery of another ring around Saturn.

CBO says tort reform reduces deficit

Bolstering what is likely to be one of the Republicans’ key health care reform arguments on the Senate floor, Congress’ budget scorekeeper ruled that medical malpractice reform could reduce the federal deficit by $54 billion over 10 years.

Lawyers, reduced deficit ? Lawyers, reduced deficit ?
This is a no-brainer.

I would imagine this, coupled with cleaning up Medicare fraud, would go a very long way toward solving many of the issues in the current health care debate. Of course this is not acceptable to many inside the Beltway, as the money flows away from the special interests.
