Texan Woman Told to Remove ‘Offensive’ American Flag From Office
Debbie McLucas comes from a patriotic family – her husband and both of her sons served in the U.S. military, and her daughter is currently deployed to Iraq on her second tour of duty as a combat medic.

With budget deficits soaring and President Obama pushing a trillion-dollar-plus expansion of health coverage, some Washington policymakers are taking a fresh look at a money-making idea long considered politically taboo: a national sales tax.

At a White House conference earlier this year on the government’s budget problems, a roomful of tax experts pleaded with Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner to consider a VAT. A recent flurry of books and papers on the subject is attracting genuine, if furtive, interest in Congress.

We had a great turn out. About 27 of us gathered at the Wal-Mart parking lot in Madison. The slimy water crossings were a challenge again. Several riders fell and near the end of the ride Ken hit a huge pothole and crashed hard. His front rim was badly dented. See the RR below for the details and what happened during the roadside repair attempt.
