Natural gas: Don't believe the hype!
The natural gas industry has spent tens of millions of dollars trying to convince consumers that their product is the proverbial “silver bullet” that will save them thousands of dollars in home heating costs for years to come, if only they would switch fuels. But like almost everything else in life, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is –and the fact is, when it comes to natural gas if you scratch the surface of the industry rhetoric, it becomes abundantly clear that switching to natural gas is a sucker’s bet.
The natural gas industry bases its claim of savings on the fact that....

What will America decide in 2012?
As the rest of the nation watched, Iowa’s caucus helped frame the debate for this presidential election year.
And as the voters speak, others are weighing in on what they believe is the best direction for America’s government and policy in 2012 and beyond. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/opinion/sunday/as-good-as-it-gets-for-the-economy.html?_r=1&emc=eta1 The New York Times editorial page was one of those voices, yet again carrying the torch of the liberal, progressive movement.

Voter ID previene el fraude electoral
La emocionante noche de las primarias en Iowa marcó el inicio del año electoral 2012. Y con los americanos dirigiéndose a la cita con las urnas, esperan que se mantenga la integridad del sistema electoral para asegurar que cada voto legítimo se tenga en cuenta y que el fraude no sea el factor de decisión a nivel local, estatal o nacional.
Desafortunadamente, a pesar de todos los avances tecnológicos de nuestra democracia moderna, todavía hay fraude en el voto y hay aún resistencia a una muy simple herramienta que podría erradicarlo — la identificación del votante, Voter ID. Algunos, como ....

Mitt Romney's Comments on the DREAM Act Will Hurt the GOP in the General Election
Washington, DC – On a press call today (January 5), experts on Latino voters, the politics of immigration, and the DREAM Act highlighted how Mitt Romney's recent pledge to veto the DREAM Act will imperil his chances in the general election.
Romney's comments sit right at home with the GOP field, which has continued to stick to a strategy of tacking to the hard right on immigration throughout the primary season.

Arpaio: el alguacil más duro del Lejano Oeste
En el caso eventual de que el alguacil del Condado de Maricopa, Joe Arpaio, el más duro del Lejano Oeste, termine sentenciado a prisión por la investigación que se le sigue por abuso de poder, la cual tiene consecuencias penales, yo tengo varias sugerencias para el juez.
Mi deseo es que le imponga los mismos castigos de ignominia con que ha infligido a los inmigrantes indocumentados.
El sheriff merece consumir varias tazas de su propio caldo y recibir dosis de su propia medicina.
Al juez le pido que lo sentencie a cumplir parte del tiempo de condena en la cárcel de carpas, que ha ....

Childhood poverty among Hispanics sets record, leads nation

In 2010, 37.3% of poor children were Latino, 30.5% were white and 26.6% were black, according to an analysis of new data from the U.S. Census Bureau by the Pew Hispan....
