After 3 wins, Obama wins Maine, too
When politicians pit one group against another, the only winners are those who believe that more power should be concentrated in the federal government. The economic evidence clearly demonstrates that the U.S. economy will produce significant income gains for all Americans as long as appropriate policies are followed. Marginal tax rate reductions and death tax repeal are examples of those policies. Yes, taxpayers will benefit, including some upper-income taxpayers, but the real winners will be Americans on the lower rungs of the economic ladder. .
Looking for new running shoes? Hit the Rogue, Jack
Rogue Equipment opened at 500 San Marcos St. this month, and Hill Country Running Company is due to open in March at 215 S. Lamar Blvd. Both stores are headed by folks with plenty of experience in the Austin fitness community. Ruth England and Steve Sisson of Rogue Training Systems, which puts 3,000 athletes a year through 50 different training programs, teamed with Craig Staley and Stephanie Terrell of Bettysport, that cool women's fitness shop at 916 W. 12th St. (and now also in the Domain), to open the new Rogue running store just east of Interstate 35. Rogue will still offer training programs but now adds retail to the mix. "The timing just seemed right for a new shop," Staley says. "Austin is the only city of its size or larger without multiple running retailers, so the need has been there for some time." The shop, around the corner from Progress Coffee, is near the future site of a commuter-rail station and close to the Lance Armstrong Bikeway.
On Native Ground
This bill not only immunizes U.S. officials from prosecution for cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment of prisoners, it also allows the President to set the rules for interrogation and determine what constitutes cruel and inhumane treatment and what interrogation tactics it considers permissible. And there is no requirement for the American people to know any this information - it may stay secret indefinitely. If you think all this only applies to foreign terrorists sitting in cells in Guantanamo Bay, you're wrong. The language in this bill gives the President the power to seize anyone, U.S. citizen or foreign national, who has "purposely and materially supported hostilities against the United States." It codifies the Bush Administration's definition of "unlawful enemy combatant," a definition that previously did not exist in any law book.
