Women Rule!
Politico has the scoop on a new study coming out of Stanford and the University of Chicago showing that in general, women lawmakers are better legislators than their male counterparts. Effectiveness was judged by the number of bills introduced, the number of co-sponsors for those bills (probably an indication of the popularity of the bill) […]

A Love Letter To Tyler Nixon
My Darling Tyler, I was so disappointed I couldn’t call in to the Rick Jensen Show yesterday. Needless to say, I rarely listen to Mr. Jensen, but just the thought of you hosting the show – with that melodious radio voice – sent my heart racing. But in between my sighs (and errands and kids […]
Self-Control Issues
I have largely stayed out of the whole “bring your guns to the rally” movement. I think it’s dumb and I think that it is a form of intimidation, but I’m not too worked up about it.

It is called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and it is a year old this month. 10 states in the northeast banded together to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants in the region and installed their own version of a cap and trade program. Every power plant in the area needs to buy allowances to emit greenhouse gasses. Allowances are sold on auction quarterly. At some point, the number of allowances on the market get scaled back — increasing the price of the allowance and sending a signal to the plant that it may be cheaper to reduce their emissions.

It’s the new political correctness – science is now considered too controversial for America. A movie about the most important scientist of the 19th century and one of the most important scientists ever has failed to find a U.S. distributor.
