Tom McMahon: President Bush Sells Louisiana Back to the French
The White House announced today that President Bush has successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more than double its original selling price of $11,250,000.

Well, the Brewers lost their last game of the year. They finished .500, escaping a losing season for the first time in a dozen years. It was a fun season and it was awesome to be excited about baseball through September. Thanks for a good time Mr. Attanasio!
Townhall.com : TABOR targeted
This autumn’s angriest political controversy is reaching a roiling boil in this state. Conservatives, especially, are arguing, with their characteristic internecine fury, about whether a change in fiscal facts should cause Colorado to change its mind about a rule restricting government spending. Come November, there will be a referendum on a temporary relaxation of the state’s “taxpayer bill of rights'’ — Tabor.Adopted by referendum in 1992, it is the nation’s most stringent limit on a state legislature’s freedom to tax and spend. It says that spending in a given year cannot increase faster than population growth plus inflation — if both are 2 percent, spending can increase only 4 percent. Furthermore, revenue exceeding permissible spending must be rebated to taxpayers, who also must approve any tax increase.
Tabor has been spectacularly successful. Per capita spending has increased slower than in almost all other states, and Colorado ranks 50th in state taxes collected per $1,000 of personal income. Even though — actually, because — Gov. Bill Owens has cut taxes 41 times, revenues have surged, and in six of the last nine years taxpayers have received refunds, a total of $3.2 billion, about $3,000 per household.
But two events have given Tabor an unexpectedly ferocious bite. These events have revealed an unanticipated wrinkle in Tabor’s mechanism.

Today’s paper has an editorial about Judge Roberts, basically hoping that the new Chief Justice will be fair and just. I have no doubt that he will, but my view of fairness and justice probably don’t line up with the Moonbats on the MJS Editorial board.
JS Online: Editorial: Chief Justice Roberts will now begin to reveal his hand
New U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts may have allotted some time this weekend to reading briefs. Confirmed by the Senate only on Thursday, he will preside over oral arguments on Monday, as the Supreme Court begins its new term.Right now he’s the “x” factor on the court. Brilliant, likable and conservative, Roberts was close-lipped about his views on legal issues. But by the time this session concludes, America should gain a surer grasp of where he stands. We hope it’s on the side of fairness and justice.
The editorial goes on to discuss the cases Roberts will preside over in his first week.
If you, like me, are a discouraged Packer fan, go read today’s column on Brett Favre’s first year. It brought great memories in this dark time.
