For the first time, I had the high score for the week.<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From San Jose Mercury News<\/a>: <\/font>Wasting no time after a victorious midterm election, GOP congressional leaders who promised to slash spending are looking to make an example of the nation’s priciest public works project: California’s $43 billion high-speed railroad.<\/p>\n

A coalition of 27 House Republicans, led by the ranking member of the committee that controls spending, wants to yank $2 billion in stimulus funds promised to California to kick-start the massive project.<\/p>\n

How absurd!  High speed rail is a great way to create jobs and California\u2019s best chance to cut auto emissions.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Crooks and Liars<\/a>: <\/font>The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Sunday that Congress shouldn’t wait to repeal the military’s controversial "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy which forces gay, lesbian and trans-gender members to hide their personal lives or face expulsion from the service.<\/p>\n

Would the Republican \u201csupport the generals\u201d meme be just another lie?<\/font><\/p>\n

From The Hill<\/a>: <\/font>Rep. Barney Frank said Republicans had taken the side of "foreign central banks" in debates over monetary policy. <\/p>\n

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) blasted Republicans in an interview Monday, arguing that the GOP has taken the side of "foreign central banks" in debates over monetary policy.<\/p>\n

Republicans prefer foreign banksters to American workers.<\/font><\/p>\n
