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

From CNEWS<\/a>: <\/span>More evidence has surfaced of illegal political donations going towards the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta.<\/p>\n

A local media outlet reported Thursday money was donated to the PC Lac La Biche St. Paul constituency association by 11 organizations prohibited under Alberta law from donating to any political party.<\/p>\n

Are the Tories taking lessons from Gingrich?<\/span><\/p>\n

From Business Week<\/a>: <\/span>Assembly Republicans finally introduced a sweeping bill to streamline Wisconsin’s mining regulations Thursday, unveiling language that calls for state regulators to make a permit decision within a year and limits environmentalists’ challenges.<\/p>\n

The measure is designed to jump-start Florida-based Gogebic Taconite’s plans for an iron mine in the Penokee Hills just south of Lake Superior. The bill will almost certainly undergo multiple revisions — Republicans in the state Senate are calling it a starting point — but it’s already triggered one of the fiercest environmental debates the state has seen in more than a decade.<\/p>\n

Hurry up with that recall to veto this!<\/span><\/p>\n

From Raw Story<\/a>: <\/span>In Sean Hannity\u2019s world, President George W. Bush succeeded in killing terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n

The Fox News host on Thursday noted that bin Laden was dead \u201cthanks to George Bush.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t this clarify why Faux Noise Sheeple are less well informed than people with no access to news?<\/span><\/p>\n

From The Statesman<\/a>: <\/span>The U.S. Supreme Court late Friday granted the State of Texas\u2019 motion for a stay of the redistricting maps, possibly throwing a March 6 primary election into disarray.<\/p>\n

In blocking the congressional and legislative maps that were drawn by a San Antonio court last month, the high court signaled that it wants to hear from the state and from plaintiffs suing the state about why the maps should or shouldn\u2019t go into effect.<\/p>\n

That just in.\u00a0 I was afraid they would do that.<\/span><\/p>\n
