House GOP removes Artic drilling from the appalling let's make desperately poor people pay half the cost of the latest absurd tax cut for the rich bill.

I'm happy. My brother Richard who e-mailed me about the issue is very happy, but
there is still plenty of depraved evil in the bill and it would be a mistake to let moderate Republicans vote for the rest given this one concession to sanity.

Ask them how their idea of personal responsibility and support for the traditional family is consistent with cutting funding for child support enforcement. Ask them often and in public.

The Republicans stand for assaulting the treasury for money for rich people and pork. Any claim that their view of the USA is different from Atila the Hun's view of Rome must be confronted with the evidence.
