Chuck Hagel: Taking a Stand?

Published by Dave January 17th, 2007 2 Comments

I’ve always had mixed feelings about Chuck Hagel, since he started his criticism of Iraq policy back in 2002. He seems to be grounded in reality, unlike many of his Republican colleagues, but he’s also the staunchest supporter of Bush’s agenda in the Senate.

A Presidential Caucus in Nebraska?

Published by Dave January 17th, 2007 2 Comments

Published by Dave January 16th, 2007 3 Comments

As good an excuse as any to post these photos again. Barack Obama has taken the first step towards running for President today, filing papers with the FEC to form an exploratory committee. 2008 may seem like a long way away from now, but our friends across the river will begin the primary season in […]

Jeff Fortenberry and “Grave” Decisions

Published by Dave January 16th, 2007 6 Comments

Don Walton has an interesting article in today’s Lincoln Journal-Star detailing Jeff Fortenberry’s thoughts on Bush’s proposed escalation of the war in Iraq. He describes the situation as “intense,” and the decisions as “very grave.”
A spike in e-mail and other constituent communication at Fortenberry’s office has been fueled in large part by Nebraskans troubled by […]

Gag Me with the Global Gag Rule

Published by laura January 15th, 2007 1 Comment

I speak of this story quite often, as it was one of my great moments in high school when Lee Terry came to visit. I’d had a previous discourse with Nancy Thompson, one of the most fantastic and truly caring politicians I had ever known, to whom I had addressed several questions. A few of […]

Unicameral Weekly: Dave Heineman vs. The University of Nebraska

Published by Dave January 13th, 2007 3 Comments

If anybody can come up with a better name for this weekly update, leave a suggestion in the comments. I’m going to try to put this on Saturdays, since that allows me to cover the whole week. All the unicameral news from this week, including Governor Heineman’s plan to gut the University of Nebraska, after […]
