Good for them. In order to help American military families stay connected this holiday season, Google is offering a free $10 credit to every family to use the Google Voice service.

Russia’s latest attempt to create its own global positioning system to rival that of the United States has ended with a crash. Literally.

Corruptocrat: Charlie Rangel May Face More Corruption Charges
6. December 2010
This time relating to how he funded his legal defense for the first series of ethics charges. Apparently the Harlem Congressman used $400,000 from his political action committee (PAC) to pay for his defense. That’s a problem because lawmakers can only use funds from their individual campaign funds or newly-established legal defense funds. They’re not [...]

A nice catch by Jim Geraghty. W’s approval is now listed at 47% while Obama’s rests at 45%. My how the mighty and holy have fallen.

A 90s-era politician who left office amongst party rebellion and who was sanctioned by the House over ethics violations. I haven’t been this enthusiastic about a candidate since…zzzzzz. Today on Fox News Sunday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich hinted that he may be thinking about a presidential run for 2012. Gingrich told Chris Wallace that [...]
Huckabee Building $3 Million Florida Home
5. December 2010
I have nothing against successful individuals spending their money. It is, after all, their money. But this is the same guy who called the Club for Growth the “Club for Greed” after it pointed out his tax increases while governor. The same guy who said that opposing taxpayer-funded college benefits for illegal aliens is “un-Christian”. [...]
