Monday is the deadline to register to vote in the August 14 Primary Election.  Surprise!  Connie Mack IV is leading Bill Nelson in Rasmussen’s poll.  The new CEO of Citizen’s Insurance says rates must go up 300 to 400%.  It’s time to get the state out of the business.  We only thought Starbucks stores were everywhere…I’m thinking NOW they are.         I’ve asked Matt Reed about the reporter of the future.  It looks like that reporter may be here.  The Olympic games in London face security challenges.  Britain’s military has been tapped beyond expectations for menial duties.  As Earl mentioned on WIDE OPEN WEDNESDAY, a UN treaty could threaten American gun owners.  The House of Representatives voted yesterday to repeal Obamacare.  The Senate won’t.  We have an election to win people…several elections to win.  Nebraska education standards fall short…no wonder we pan education.
