Update - Back in the Saddle

I spent most of March traveling and taking a break from my posting my daily thoughts on the economy, the Constitution, the impending collapse of our currency and the lack of transparency and double standards of the Obama administration.  But I am back in the office, where I am actually DOING something to try and fix the potential energy crisis we are facing by reducing the power needed to light 24/7 spaces in our public spaces.... but I digress....

I have been watching the developments and taking notes.  I will start posting some new essays and thoughts of the following topics over the next several weeks:

  • Comprehensive Immigration Reform
  • The "Patriot" Act
  • Tea Parties - National Coverage and Local
  • Non-violent Revolution 
  • Tax Cheats
  • Energy Independence, One Consumer at a Time
  • Why I am a Libertarian and Why you should be one too
I am very open to thoughtful and well research essays of like or differing opinion and I have been talking to many other bloggers about cross sharing some space so we can broaden our voice and the reach of our message.


Here is a little bonus for you that will most likely not be reported in the MSM:

The U.S. Justice Department filed a motion Wednesday to drop its case against former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, who was convicted of seven felony counts of corruption last fall.

Attorney General Eric Holder decided to abandon the case due to prosecutorial misconduct, Justice Department sources told FOX News.

Stevens was convicted last year of lying on a Senate disclosure form in order to hide $250,000 in gifts he received from an oil company executive and friends.

Only after the conviction did allegations of FBI misconduct come to light. The judge in the case has repeatedly delayed sentencing Stevens, and at one point he held prosecutors in contempt.

Justice Department officials later replaced the trial team. Stevens sought to dismiss the case, and Wednesday's action in effect supports his request.

"After careful review, I have concluded that certain information should have been provided to the defense for use at trial. In light of this conclusion, and in consideration of the totality of the circumstances of this particular case, I have determined that it is in the interest of justice to dismiss the indictment and not proceed with a new trial," Holder said in a statement released shortly after the motion was filed Wednesday.

Holder reportedly decided Tuesday to dismiss the original indictment rather than proceed to more hearings that might embarrass the department.
