More from Nancy Morgan.

America is officially on the path to socialism as Democrats managed to pass the largest spending bill in history, resulting in the largest ever transfer of power to the federal government.

The bill was passed without any discussion, and without any of our elected officials even having a chance to read the final 1,073-page monstrosity. It appears the Democrats deliberately included language designed to make it impossible to search the bill by keywords. Can you spell sneaky?

We're just now finding out the details. It appears some Americans might see $14.00 more in their paychecks, while a mouse lucky enough to live in Nancy Pelosi's district got $30 million. Stay tuned . . .

Consider: $9.7 billion is enough to pay off more than 90% of the nation's home mortgages. Instead, our tax dollars will be used to fund the left-wing agenda and pay off unions. Aargh!

The CBO estimates the true cost of this "stimulus" bill isn't the face value of $787 billion, but actually a whopping $3.27 Trillion. I'm glad I don't have any grandkids. Oh well, we voted for these guys. Before I start ranting, I think I'll point out some:

GOOD NEWS:

Four Southern states – Texas, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas – are considering legislation that would allow people to carry handguns openly in a holster.

Only 39 percent of Americans say they "believe in the theory of evolution" and just 24 percent of those who attend church weekly believe in that explanation for the origin of life.

Northern Ireland's environment minister announced Monday he has banned the local broadcast of British government ads on climate change and denounced their message as "insidious propaganda." Just so.

That didn't stop Father Earth, Algore, from racking up another "prize." His An Inconvenient Truth has won the 2009 GRAMMY Award for Best Spoken Word Album. The beat goes on.

As the media focused on their love affair with Obama, many important news stories slipped:

UNDER THE RADAR:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday offered North Korea a peace treaty, normal ties and aid if it eliminates its nuclear arms program, essentially the same deal N. Korea reneged on in the past.

Major changes to the Supreme Court are being urged by a group of 33 law professors, former state supreme court justices and practitioners. They're urging the attorney general and the heads of the Senate and House judiciary committees to consider four major changes in the operation of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Obama has decided on a new U.S. ambassador to Syria and is expected to lift sanctions against a nation charged with aiding Al Qaida in Iraq and secretly building a nuclear reactor.

The Obama administration on Tuesday overturned another Bush-era energy policy, announcing it was setting aside a draft plan to allow drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

The Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 4 would allow American citizens unrestricted travel to Cuba for the first time since 1963.

CULTURE:

Britain got its youngest father ever as a 13-year-old boy became a parent last week. Apparently the parents of his 14-year-old lover allowed this kid to routinely share a bedroom with their daughter. I wonder if they were surprised it resulted in a baby.  

Speaking of babies, Dr. Michael Kamrava, who implanted 6 embryos into an Angelina Jolie wannabe (resulting in 8 new kids – making a total of 14 for the proud mom), has yet another parent expecting quadruplets. The patient, who is in her late 40s, wanted one baby. The good doctor transferred at least seven embryos into her. She is now hospitalized without insurance.

TV stations in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Columbus, Ohio, have canceled a paid program from the American Family Association titled "Speechless: Silencing Christians," calling the content controversial.

A mother and father in New York were subjected by their school district's attorney to a faith "sincerity test," which ultimately ruled their beliefs were too questionable to qualify for a religious exemption to mandatory student immunization.

A nude sushi restaurant is being proposed for Baltimore. Inquiring minds want to know – Would you eat dead fish off a stripper? 

Bad news for Batman. Batwoman is making her comic book come-back – as a lesbian. 

There's more news but I think I've had enough. No matter how bad things get, its important to keep a sense of humor. If not, we'll all turn into liberals.

SMILE:

Does your Pepsi lack pep? Is your Coke not the real thing? India's Hindu nationalist movement apparently has the answer: a new soft drink made from cow urine.

There has been a need for new technology to clean monitors from all the spit and coffee spewed upon them. Well here it is, just one click and your dirty monitor will be cleaned. Gotcha.

RIGHT BIAS IDIOT AWARDS:

In a week chock full of idiotic statements, we still have a clear winner of the RightBias award for The Most Idiotic Statement Of The Week. 

OF INTEREST:

Glenn Beck made a shocking prediction on the O'Reilly Factor: "Depression and Revolution."

Check out this two-and-a-half minute video. Milton Friedman gives the most compelling argument for capitalism I've ever heard.

Before I sign off, I'll leave you with some points to ponder. Diana West wrote a fascinating article, "Who Attacked Our Economy? Why Does No One Care?" It raises a legitimate question about the start of this economic crisis and the possibility that it was politically engineered. You can decide for yourself.

Till next week, keep smiling.

    I read the article and pondered. If this happened on 9/15 and GWB knew about it why didn't he pass the info onto JSM? Either GWB and Cheney are in this together with Soros, OHB, and the Clintons, it came from Sasquatch on the grassy knoll, or the Martians have a laptop in Area 51. In any case we need more info.

    This was the first I had heard about that, which is scary. The msm whines about transparency in government, but they won't jump on something unless it's to their liking. That the main cause of the current crisis be caused by a single event that could possibly be traced to one of their own is not press they want to spread, especially when they were crying recession when the economy was still experience growth albeit a small amount.

    I would really like to see this story dug into deeper.
