Out in Washington State, illegal aliens are canvassing for Patti Murray. That’s right — they are going door to door encouraging people to go vote and vote for Patti Murray. It is not illegal for illegals to go canvassing, other than the part about them being illegal in the first place. But it is rather indicative of the stark differences between Rossi and Murray on | Read More »

In Delaware, Mike Castle is refusing to endorse Christine O’Donnell. In Florida, Bill McCollum is flirting with the Democrats. In Alaska, Lisa Murkowski is considering going write-in to cling to power. These are the faces of the establishment. They have been beaten and then took their footballs off the field.

To recap: Spokane County became the launch pad last July for the nation’s strictest ban on dishwasher detergent made with phosphates, a measure aimed at reducing water pollution. The ban will be expanded statewide in July 2010, the same time similar laws take effect in several other states. As the Associated Press notes, there’s just | Read More »
