• Heritage -Top 10 Reasons America Won't Miss the 111th Congress: Here's a hint - Repeal of DADT isn't one of them.  Think spending and power grabs.

• 25 Democrats Abandon Ship: With party ID and voter approval slipping away from the Democrats, 25 key Dems from various states have decided they'd rather party with the GOP.  In Louisiana, this flips the majority to the GOP as well.

• Return of the Death Panels?  Failing to get life termination counseling into the original bill, the Obama Administration works with congressional allies to do the same through the executive branch.  They're baaa-aaackkk!

• SunRail Study Due in February:  Governor-elect Rick Scott says he's waiting to read a February feasibility study before deciding to pull the plug on SunRail, a federally funded bullet train that could stick state taxpayers with construction overruns and management costs.

•  Obama policies driving up fuel prices. Where is the outrage?  As gas prices top $3 a gallon again, the Obama administration has cut supply and increased our dependence on foreign oil.
