The Nebraska Legislature is meeting in a special session to amend its Safe Haven Law, which currently allows parents to drop off any child younger than 18 at any hospital and no longer be held legally responsible for that child.

Dear Mr. Obama:
Congratulations on a landslide victory.
I didn’t vote for you, and frankly, the thought of you as President makes me worry for the future of my country.
No doubt, many of those who joined me in voting for your opponent will stridently declare, “He’s not my President. I didn’t vote for him!” But I won’t. I’m adult [...]

Please don’t let the liberal media convince you that unrepentant former terrorist — and unapologetic current communist — Bill Ayers is harmless and Obama’s connection with him means nothing. Neither of these assertions could be further from the truth.

When it comes to the proposed bailout of (the remains of) Wall Street, I’ve been feeling a bit like that old Saturday Night Live character played by Phil Hartman, the “Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.”
I don’t think we should hand over a big pile of taxpayer money to a bunch of Wall Street cavaliers who gambled big [...]

Let’s “bail” rationally, if at all
Yesterday, I sent the message below to senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn and Rep. Jeb Hensarling.
As one of your constituents in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas, I’m writing my first-ever letter to a member of Congress to protest the proposed $700B bailout of the country’s financial sector. You’ve probably already seen the [...]

Obama’s connection to the subprime meltdown
An editorial in today’s National Review points out a little-recognized connection between Barack Obama and the subprime meltdown:
One of the reasons so many bad mortgage loans were made in the first place is that Barack Obama’s celebrated community organizers make their careers out of forcing banks to do so. ACORN, for which Obama worked, is [...]
