Jackson Browne defeats John McCain

Singer Jackson Browne has won his copyright battle against Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), getting an apology and an undisclosed sum of money from the 2008 presidential nominee for a pro-McCain Web video that appropriated the artist's hit song "Running On Empty."

I am just wondering if Barack Obama had of used the song if he would have gotten sued over it. To my understanding, it was the RNC of Ohio that used the song, and John McCain didn't know anything about it. They should have gotten permission, though.

What is the “Stimulus” bill all about? | Project World Awareness

I found this article interesting and an accurate assessment of the Stimulus. It wasn't about the economy, it was about furthering the Democrats agenda.

They want to turn the United States into a one-party country and to put the Republican Party out of business once and for all. To do this it is necessary to eliminate any meaningful political competition by stifling dissent and securing billions for their efforts and for their troops like ACORN. The massive appropriation called a stimulus - some $787 billion of our money - is really a political war chest for the Democrats. They want to change the face of American politics forever, and they want to use your taxpayer money to do it. The billions of dollars are to reward their political friends and have huge amounts of cash to dole out before the 2010 and 2012 elections.

Handful of Governors May Refuse Federal Unemployment Benefits

Some GOP governors say new rules on unemployment benefits would hurt their states so they aren't going to accept a portion of the $787 billion recovery and reinvestment act signed into law this week.

Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal is sticking to his position of rejecting part of the federal stimulus money for his state, saying Sunday that accepting an increase in unemployment benefits will lead to higher taxes on businesses in his state.

Mississippi Republican Gov. Haley Barbour, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin say they may follow suit. They say the money to be disbursed to the states in the $787 billion spending and tax cuts package comes with too many strings attached.

"The unemployment insurance reform, if you will, would require the state to pay people who are not willing to take a full-time job," Barbour told FOX News, saying his state is not going to expand benefits to part-time workers. "We're not going to change that. ... We're going to give up about $50 million of federal money."

"It would be like spending a dollar to get a dime," Jindal said on NBC's "Meet the Press. "The federal stimulus bill says it has to be a permanent change in state law if you take this money, so within three years, the federal money is gone, we've got now a permanent change in our laws."

Read the rest here. It will be a shame if the unemployed, who really can't find a job suffers because of the Government loopholes.

Congratulations Micheal Steele

He won the Chairman of the Republican National Committee. What do you think of the RNC pick?

I hope that he does a lot of You Tube Videos for fundraising. It will reach a lot of people, and also it will be a cheap way of advertising. Someone on Fox said that the RNC was in debt, so anything we could do will help.

Congratulations Micheal Steele
