Last week we reported on how some legislators seem to walk lockstep with certain special interests, but state Senate Republicans are bringing some much-needed change to a key committee.

America got a close-up look at the ugly underbelly of Washington politics when U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska), in exchange for his vote, got his state exempted from the unfunded Medicaid mandate under the federal health care bill. Getting a monetary break for his state suddenly made a bad bill “good.” America was rightly outraged by this act of “political bribery.” Well, something more than Norris Dam is getting ready to be named for a Nebraska Senator, and maybe it will keep Washington politics out of Tennessee.

College campuses can be a cesspool of political correctness and intolerance for those students and student groups that don’t conform to liberal ideology. When one state college recently tried to impose a unique burden on a conservative student group, they found out someone is watching.
