Online story: "The Transportation Security Administration says that when working properly, the backscatter Advance Imaging Technology X-ray scanners emit an infinitesimal, virtually harmless amount of radiation. *The problem is that the TSA offers no proof that anyone is checking to see if the machines are "working properly." -- heh heh heh...remember the X-ray shoe fitting machines that use to be in most children's shoe stores?

Online headline: "While Most of US Struggled, Good Times Rolled in Wyoming" -- Could it be as simple as Wyoming has only one Representative in the House, and two Senators, and all three are Republican?

What's with the government's push for ethanol? Is the government going to compensate me for my vehicles that were not designed to run on 'corn'? I remember the effect my '67 'muscle when it needed 100+ octane leaded gas, and the government imposed the lower octane unleaded gases on us.

L-E "correction": "CORRECTION A story on page A16 in Saturday’s Ledger-Enquirer about the Census Bureau preparing to release new reapportionment figures for the House of Representatives gave the wrong number of electors in the Electoral College. There are 538." -- Why does this matter? There are 100 for Senators which are assigned 2 per state, 435 for the House Representatives which change according to Census numbers, and 3 given to Washington, D.C. by a DUMB&DUMBERat Congress proposed 23rd Amendment, and will not change. The only thing effected by the Census is which states will get more and less House Representatives.

The irony of any "ethics reform" within any body of elected (or for that matter professions requiring certain certifications) is that no group will honestly monitor itself because everyone has 'a closet' , and wants to make sure their own rears are covered.

So Dusty Nix has been chastised by his spouse for telling 'half truths' (as has been described as 'the blackest of all lies"). May he learn that an after-the-fact 'correction/apology' does not clear up the mess he created, and it will cast doubt on his other past and future ramblings.

Why is that in spite that seemingly all the terror acts, and all the captured groups who are thwarted from completing a planned act of terrorism are Muslim linked, we cannot 'profile' Muslim's in airports?
