From CNSNews dot com:

During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill.

"I love these members, they get up and say, `Read the bill,'" said Conyers.

"What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?"

As a Catholic and a chemist nut, it bugs me every time people try to wedge science vs religion.  Of course, these are usually atheists who are using science as a champion against religion.  Frankly, the whole thing's absurd.  If you want to find a true enemy of science, there's only one place to look: politics.

John Conyers has written a letter to Attorney General, Eric Holder, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asking them to investigate Maricopa County, Arizona sheriff Arpaio.

From John Conyers Writes a Letterfrom daveleroy at RedState:

Being a border state, Arizona is uniquely situated in the illegal immigration battle.  Like Texas, California and New Mexico, it is these state governments that bear the huge costs of illegal immigration in their hospitals, their schools, and their law enforcement resources.  With the increasing violence south of the border instigated by competition between drug cartels, it is bound to, and has in some instances, spilled north of the Rio Grande.  Yet, we now have bureaucrats sitting in Washington, DC high on their dais questioning the tactics of the foot soldiers- actually one foot soldier- in this very real battle.  While they twiddle their thumbs and contenplate "comprehensive immigration reform" and "strengthening our southern border," they now have the audacity to criticize someone who is actually doing something about it.

I can tell you very simply why Detroit is in the dumps. The inmates have taken over the asylum. It happened some time ago, but the most incompetent people imaginable are in charge of the city. Case in point today - Monica Conyers. From the pages of the freep this morning:

Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers had to be restrained during a confrontation last week with Councilman Kwame Kenyatta in which she hurled insults at Kenyatta about his hearing aid, health and education.

President Barack Obama

So much for that.

Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers, the wife of Congressman John Conyers (MI-14) both reminded us of how absolutely hateful Democrats can be and personally destroyed another sliver of my faith in humanity when she accosted fellow council member Kwame Kenyatta, making fun of his alleged battle with cancer while being restrained by security officers from physically attacking the man.

What provoked her behavior?  Kenyatta dared request that official budget proposals be made in writing.

That cad.  How dare he?!
