Oklahoma's unemployment rate has fallen about 25% since it adopted a strict new anti-illegal immigration law, driving illegal immigrants out of the state. As a result, employers are hiring Americans to fill those jobs. They're paying the Americans more money, which will lead to slight increase in prices, but this just proves the free market adjusts very well when the illegal aliens self-deport.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs highlights Iranian activity in Iraq including arming and training extremists to kill Americans.  The administration is building the case for attacking Iran. This is the new justification since stopping Iran from building a nuke didn't seem to catch on with the American people or the world.

Since reformers were barred from running for office in Iran, hardliners take more parliamentary seats.

Senate proposes raising taxes on fuel for private jets by 65% to fund air-traffic control upgrades. This won't generate the revenue they think it will because private jets won't fly as much.

Republicans call Nancy Pelosi's bluff on plan to lower gas prices. Unfortunately, nobody is listening now and everybody who was listening before the 2006 election has forgotten.

If no Americans were overweight, it would save an average of $4,270 per household per year. That's the opportunity cost of 3rd party payer health care systems. When Americans pay for their own health care, they'll stay healthier to keep costs down. When somebody else pays, they don't bother with the effort.

The Senate is stalemated on FEC commissioners, failing to fill the 4 vacant slots, rendering the FEC powerless. Our government is terrible.

ABC blames violence on the border on the 2nd Amendment. Did making drugs illegal stop the smuggling of drugs? Government creates a problem by banning drugs, empowering the drug cartels, and of course the liberals call for ever more government to "fix" the problem.

Al Gore voted as Senate president to mandate the use of ethanol in reformulated gasoline. Gore can afford the high price of food, so what's he care?

What celebrities would look like if they lived in Oklahoma.

The media is continuing to lay the groundwork to denounce anybody who doesn't support Obama on the grounds of race. If you don't like Obama, it's because you're a cave man or KKK member. Obviously the only reason anybody would not support Obama is because of his race. Even though Obama gets 90% of the black vote and Clinton only gets 63% of the white vote, whites are racist. Implicit in this criticism is that it's OK for black people to support Obama just because he's black, but it's not OK for whites to support his opponent just because he or she is white.

We've watched Democrats tear themselves apart over race in this campaign, and you can be sure that if Obama gets the nomination, liberals will tear the country apart with these bogus racial charges against anybody who dares not support Obama. Exit polls consistently show Obama doing better than he actually does in private ballot contests. The more the press attacks white people, the worse this will get. Nobody wants to go on record not supporting Obama, but that's why we have secret ballots. Liberals are going to weild the race issue like a weapon in this campaign, and it's going to backfire big time, but the subsequent divisiveness will make the Bush years look like peace and harmony.
