>The state’s pension and retiree health care programs are like a giant blob in a science fiction movie


Can blob be stopped short of bankruptcy?

The state’s pension and retiree health care programs are like a giant blob in a science fiction movie, rolling over the landscape with ever-increasing speed, growing larger by the day until it’s big enough to consume everything in its path. The Legislature, pandering to greedy special interests with no regard for economic reality, created it. (Ingle, Daily Record)

>Democrats Push for Internet Regulation

Democrats put heat on FCC commissioner on net neutrality vote

By Sara Jerome – 12/18/10 06:00 AM ET

The Democrats have a message for Democratic FCC Commissioner Michael Copps: Don’t screw things up on net neutrality.

Democrats allied with FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski are working to put public pressure on Copps as the net-neutrality vote draws near.

Genachowski needs Copps to vote for his plan during a commission meeting on Tuesday if the rules are to pass.

As a result, Democrats who support the plan are pushing this message in the media: If Copps doesn’t vote for Genachowski’s plan, the consequences will reverberate all the way up to the White House. They are arguing that the damage could even hurt President Obama.

  

>Garrett: All Congressional Staff Must Understand the Constitution

Introduces new House rule to require all congressional staffers to complete yearly training on the Constitution

WASHINGTON, December 17, 2010 – Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ), Founder and Chairman of the Congressional Constitution Caucus, yesterday introduced H. Res. 1772, a House rule resolution that would require congressional staff members to complete annual training on the Constitution.

“Members of Congress often consult their staff for advice about legislation and other official actions; consequently, I believe it’s important for congressional staff to have a firm understanding of the constitutional principles our country was founded upon,” said Garrett upon introducing the rule. “Having a training program dedicated to the Constitution would increase general awareness of the Constitution and thereby lead to a more constitutionally-sound manner of governing. Congress would better limit itself to enumerated powers if those who work on Capitol Hill are more familiar with what those specific powers are.”

Garrett’s House rule resolution has 25 original cosponsors and would require all staff to undergo mandatory training that is similar in format to the annual ethics training staffers are already required to complete. The Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties would be tasked with developing and managing the training.

Tuesday will usher in the first lunar eclipse during a winter solstice in 456 years

For the first time in 456 years this year’s winter solstice will coincide with a full lunar eclipse. This celestial eccentricity holds very special significance for the many that believe in the energy of the winter solstice. The solstice signifies the shortest day of the year often a time that is associated with the rebirth of the sun.

Wiccans often refer to it as “a ritual of transformation from darkness into light” offering an opportunity for personal transformation. The move from dark to light is seen as a rebirth .Some see great significance in the unique coupling of the masculine energy of the sun and the feminine energy of the moon.

Our own local expert says ,”It’s a time when the Sun is growing stronger and the light in increasing. It’s a good time to work on prosperity and abundance. Many Pagans hold all night vigils to welcome the return of the Sun.”
