There was no avoiding this. In fact, impeachment talk moved yesterday from Tea Party rallies to at least one Republican Member of the House, Darrell Issa.

Is this what we have become? The video at the link is very disturbing. It shows abject violence to dairy cows and calves. It made me sick to my stomach. In this day and age, I cannot fathom that there are people who could do this to a helpless animal. But yet, I know it […]

Filed in National by on May 27, 2010 16 Comments

Sister Margaret was a senior administrator of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix. A 27-year-old mother of four arrived late last year, in her third month of pregnancy. According to local news reports and accounts from the hospital and some of its staff members, the mother suffered from a serious complication called pulmonary hypertension.

Nothing lights up our tip line like Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart. Some of the tips cannot be substantiated, others seem outlandish, even for this commissioner’s office. A recent one says they themselves may have to contact the authorities to alert them of the rampant alleged fraud that is going on in her office, to which I say, great, please do so, for if the corruption is so rampant, and if you have evidence of it, then what are you waiting for. This is not to say that we aren’t keeping an eye on KWS. We have covered the allegations against the on the Insurance Commissioner going all the way back to May of 2009. So it was with interest that I saw that an ethics complaint had been filed against her. But then I find out who filed it.
