Asides (Notes, Blurbs & Such)

• "Marc Bohemier joins me in the first hour to discuss the Fair Tax. What is the Fair Tax? How is it different from a flat tax? What benefits are there to a fair tax? Is it possible to change to a Fair Tax? Plus any of your questions. The second hour will be the regular conservative libertarian irreverent commentary on the current events in news and politics." - Freedom's Wings
• "How often do you hear people rail against the sports figures who make millions while our teachers – our teachers! – struggle to get by. I hear it more than I care to remember. Athletes are paid what the market will bear. If Americans decide to stop watching sports, and paying for game tickets and merchandise, the salaries of professional athletes will be reduced accordingly. For the most part, our tax dollars do not fund the salaries or pensions of professional athletes." - The Lonely Conservative
• "...we're getting ready for this year's migrant worker clinics. These free clinics are sponsored by local non-profits like SEGCP and with the help of local businesses and schools. These on-site clinics provide health care, health education, and quality of life items to poor migrant workers who might not otherwise receive important medical care. Often, these migrant workers end up in emergency rooms because of medical problems that could easily be treated or prevented by clinics like these; these clinics aim to prevent that. However, we need your help to do it." - Ric Stewart

• I have been anxiously waiting for the day when they would make my favorite comic hero, Superman, into a really great movie. If you ask me, Superman Returns was not a really great movie. On the other hand, the new Batman movies are really great. So what if the creator of those movies made a new Superman movie? He is! Read the Movie Talk Interview with Christopher Nolan.
• Join Sir Malachi and General Rachel tonight on Wednesdays with the Patriot Hour. The show begins at 9:30 PM ET.
• "But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ." - 1 Peter 3:14-16

• I am very excited about the release of Sid Meiers' Civilization V game. Check out the video trailer: YouTube
• Are there enough votes in the House to pass the Senate's health-care bill? As of today, it's clear there aren't. House Democratic leaders have brushed aside White House calls to bring the bill forward by March 18, when President Barack Obama heads to Asia. Nevertheless, analysts close to the Democratic leadership tell me they're confident the leadership will find some way to squeeze out the 216 votes needed for a majority. The Wall Street Journal
