The Angle "Reaction to Palin's Announcement"
In the tradition of "2 Girls 1 Cup" (and if you know what I'm talking about there, shame on you!) I documented my reaction to Sarah Palin's rambling announcement to not seek reelection by quitting the job that she loves and passing the ball as she keeps her eye on the basket. Seriously.

JasonWatch.org
Visit http://www.jasonwatch.org Your online destination for kudos and critique of Congressman Jason Chaffetz There was a time when politicians could be taken at their word. At least we used to think they could. As a matter of fact, we really had no choice. This meant that our Congressmen, Senators and Presidents could tell us anything they wanted, even outright lies, and pretty much get away with it. Thankfully, those days are long gone. With the advent of the internet, the 24-hour news cycle and myriad online resources with which we can fact-check the rhetoric that spews forth from the mouths of our elected officials, it's become much easier to catch them in a lie, fib or distortion of the truth.

The Anglə "On Financial Literacy"
Congressman Jason Chaffetz takes a moral stand on FInancial Literacy in the face of ballooning deficits.
