California Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher doesn’t believe that global warming is a man-made problem, but that hasn’t stopped him from offering ridiculous “solutions” to curbing the problem.

(“I agree with Hitler” might be #1 on the list of things you should never say if you’re a politician. – promoted by Colorado Pols) I’ve been writing a few “At Least He’s Not…” diaries lately, but this one I think is destined for an award of some sort. New Hampshire, like most states, is […]

Gessler has been a major win for the State of Colorado, and not that he hasn’t tried to step over the line a few times already, but he has nothing on Indiana Secretary of State (for now) Charlie White: Charlie White [R-Fishers], the recently elected Secretary […]
Senator Morse request 331 days of per diem in 2009. More than anyone else. http://cologap.org/ Sort of a yikes moment especially when you think about how everyone jumped on other legislators in Colorado for the same issue.

We just noted how Democrats in the Wisconsin state senate have fled the state, throwing a temporary spike in plans by that state’s Republican governor to end collective bargaining by Wisconsin employees.
