Riot police have moved in after an officer was hurt during scuffles between police and G20 demonstrators outside the Bank of England. Windows were smashed at an RBS branch in the City of London and a protester hit an officer with a large pole during large-scale protests ahead of the summit of world leaders.

With the approval numbers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and representative Barney Frank slipping, it's apparent that not all is well in Bozovia. At some point, Congress and The White House, is going to have to acknowledge the growing dissatisfaction on Main Street.

So far, over 1.1 million "pro-lifers" have pledged to send a red envelope to the White House as a symbolic gesture against the Obama administration's "pro-death" policies (including funding abortions, human stem cell research, and contraception). Let your voice be heard.

I've attempted to engage several friends and acquaintances today, seeking to gauge their interest/disinterest with the whole GM/Chrysler/Gov't fiasco. While I am extremely angered by what is obvious (at least to me) to be an unconstitutional move by the Obama administration to take over GM, most of the people I have spoken to don't seem to give a pinto's exploding patootie.

(update) In the wake of last evening's report that General Motors Corp. Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner will step down immediately at "the request of the White House," Wall Street took a big step down as well. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 254.16 points, or 3.3%, to 7522.02, showing declines everywhere. GM shares shed 25%. Strategist Bill King, of M. Ramsey King Securities in Burr Ridge, Ill., said today on online.wsj.com, that investors are skeptical that the government can engineer a turnaround for the car makers.

Publishers and booksellers say that sales of Bibles are soaring — to believers and non-believers alike. The online bookseller Amazon recorded a 25 per cent increase in Bible sales in the UK in the year to February 2009. MORE

With all the "Car Guys" leaving GM, this may be an indication of what you're next vehicle will look like. India's latest import is small, cheap, fuel efficient and, according to this reviewer, actually quite fun. But would you really want to drive one of these into the path of and 18 wheeler?

A good friend recommended this piece by Patrice Lewis posted originally on WorldNetDaily.com. Do liberals have any clue as to what's going on in the country, what tea parties are or why so many people are showing up? According to Patrice, "The seething frustration in Flyover Country started with the Bush administration's attempt to pander to liberal special interests and is quickly gaining momentum in the opening months of Obama's reign.

Freedom Watch has been established to, among other things, protect our rights to privacy, and free speech and to blow the whistle on crooked and incompetent business, labor and government officials. Founded by Larry Klayman (founder and former chairman of Judicial Watch) Freedom Watch defines their greatest present challenge to be "A  government that spends our tax dollars like a drunken sailor, and a new Obama-Clinton regime that is using the economic crisis as an excuse to turn our nation into a socialist Euro-style welfare state, is to remain constant to the principles of our founding fathers."

You're not alone. According to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll, released earlier today, Nancy Pelosi's eye-popping personality and socialist shenanigans are beginning to grate on more folks than just Republicans and Conservatives.
