House Votes Against Bailout

I assume that most people have heard by now that the bailout was sunk by the Republicans in the House of Representatives yesterday. It pretty much came down to the last few minutes of the votes that we got to see liberty actually getting a victory. I just find it funny that a majority of Democrats supported a dangerous plan that was supported by Bush and his cronies. Just more proof that Dems and Reps are no different.

Sweet Smell of Victory

A few months ago, I learned that the Second Amendment was going before the Supreme Court because of Washington D.C.'s gun laws. A few days ago, I learned that the Supreme Court would be ruling on this by the end of this month. That day came today. If you know anything about me, and you noticed the title of this article, I'm sure you can figure out what the ruling was, if you didn't already know. In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that Americans have the right to own guns for self-defense and hunting.
