Anybody have news links about the law that passed in Arkansas (I don't know when, Huckabee was just on Fox News defending it) about how unmarried couples (and single parents, though that wasn't much discussed) are no longer allowed to adopt children. Stance was that it's in the best interests of the child (Huckabee used a quote about traditional ( Read more... )

Nate and Leverage Consulting & Associates. Then there'd be a chance in hell that there'd be a modicum of, of... of something. Revenge maybe.

Bush passed one of his 11th hour things that's a "conscience" rule.

Apparently some guy paid for his groceries with a $200 bill. (Picture of bill with the article.)
