POOR, MISUNDERSTOOD LUKE HELDER, PART IV

An outstanding column by Dr. Thomas Sowell on Mr. Helder and how shop his thinking reflects the zeitgeist. This is a must read!

IOWA IS SO TOUGH

Iowa does not have the death penalty for murder. This pleases Kurt Rogahn in the Cedar Rapids Gazette:

Three recent news stories in nearly so few days should remind Iowans how tough this state is on murderers.

Right. I’m a sure the average murderer would rather be nabbed in, say, Texas.

Interesting article in the Des Moines Register. Looks like Bishop Joseph Charron has learned what not to do from Cardinal Law.

IOWA REPUBLICANS ACTING LIKE REPUBLICANS!

The Quad City Times has this article about the current budget crisis in Iowa. This is my favorite part of the article:

Although they have released few details, Republican leaders say their 2003 plan would eliminate 15 state programs along with numerous spending adjustments and cuts. They also want to require that state workers take half-day furloughs each month, saving state government an estimated $30 million. State employee unions rejected their first proposal for a salary freeze next year.
