Goldwater Institute wants to end solar subsidies. All of them.
Per Clint Bolick of the Goldwater Institute (GI): It’s not every day that the New York Times makes a compelling case against government giveaways.

Huge companies like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, General Electric, utilities including Exelon and [...]
Not that it will stop the Republicans here from passing more discriminatory anti-voting laws
Per Campus Progress: O’Keefe’s video shows individuals in polling stations throughout New Hampshire attempting to vote using the name of recently deceased persons in this week’s primary election.

Today’s Yellow Sheet had an odd tidbit about recently de-Senatorized Russell Pearce. At this month’s Arizona Republican Party mandatory meeting, state committeemen will have the chance to return Pearce to an elected post. The former senator is one of two people running for first vice chair of the party, along with Diane Ortiz-Parsons, a veteran [...]
My thoughts on the Iowa caucus.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! That said, Santorum finishing in a dead heat with Romney for first place in Iowa is actually no big deal, election-wise. Santorum, like his brother from another mother Huckabee four years ago, is going precisely nowhere, except maybe a Fox commentating gig, after this.
