(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Thursday that she would like to see a balanced budget, “in a number of decades.”  During her weekly press conference on Capitol Hill, CNSNews.com asked Pelosi if she agreed with President Barack Obama’s recent remarks that America does not have an “immediate” debt crisis.  The U.S. debt as of Wednesday stands at $16.7 trillion.  “Well, I believe that we’re on a path to reduce the deficit,” Pelosi said.  “And I would say that—count me as one who would say I want us to be on a path to balance the budget in a number of decades."....…
A day after President Obama indicated that there will soon be a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, the top House Democrat questioned the value of the controversial project.  House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said the pipeline would do nothing to make the country more energy independent, while creating far fewer jobs than supporters claim.  Although she stopped short of opposing the project outright — “I want to see what the report is from the State Department” — she hinted that it would do more harm than good.

Many people find that as they grow older and become more informed about various cultural phenomena, they become more conservative (that is, prudent) in their views, and that many of the iconic pop idols they followed unquestioningly in their earlier years turn out to have been, if not downright bad influences, rather dubious in their overall messages even if sometimes still supremely great in the artistic sense.  
I’ve stumbled into some skillful help in dispelling part of that lingering mystique, especially when it comes to certain bona-fide legends of the rock and roll stage and studio.  
Five years ago, writer and political humorist Evan Sayet delivered an earth-shaking speech at The Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., which the late Andrew Breitbart called “one of the five most important conservative speeches ever given.”  ….. To Read More...
