Michelle Obama announced her “Let’s Move” campaign in 2010. Shortly after her announcement, Fox News railed the white house for indoctrinating our children, controlling our diets, and manipulating us with socialism. The odd thing about this particular issue is that childhood obesity and diabetes is at an all-time high. This article details one reason Fox News might have had a problem.

Fraudulent voter registrations from ACORN hit the air waves during the 2008 presidential election. The level of coverage made me start thinking about why voter registration fraud was portrayed as a serious threat.

Tort reform became an increasingly popular topic during the health reform debate. Tort reform is the legislative process of reducing outrageous payouts in civil lawsuits. This article is the first in a series and examines how tort reform works.

I believe it is the responsibility of every American to familiarize themselves with major legislative actions of Congress. Unfortunately, the process of fact-checking, cross-referencing, and researching can be time consuming. I find most news outlets unsatisfactory, as most of them are pushing an agenda or are completely full of shit. Instead, I prefer reading the actual legislation. The process is a lot simpler (and much less boring) than you might think.
