Governor Andrew Cuomo penned an Op-Ed in today's Albany Times Union and stated "From 1966 to 2009, the Republican Conference led for 42 years and blocked much progressive legislation, including last year's efforts to increase the minimum wage, enact campaign finance reform and end the controversial "stop and frisk" policy."  Governor Cuomo is a progressive liberal and those that think he isn't should read his words.  The apple does not fall far from the tree, no matter how much the left criticizes him, his policies are the same as his Father's and those who want you to think he has not done enough.    His policies will cost you, in both money and moral values as we learned when he passed New York's same sex marriage bill.  He will try to expand New York's abortion laws, already the most liberal in the nation, and GENDA legislation, in addition to the ones he highlights.  Yes, Governor Andrew Cuomo is a progressive liberal, but we already knew that.  And we will be here to educate New York citizens as to the dangers of such legislation.

C3PO and R2D2 will take your order now. 

The case for hydrofracking is being made as crude-oil production is at its highest level in 15 years due to hydrofracking. 

President Obama seeks tax advice from a tax dodger.  What did you expect after Tim Geithner, someone who understands economics?  If President Obama is really serious about the fiscal cliff and the economy he would be meeting with  Heritage Foundation and the business leaders in today's Morning Bell.  Alas, as Wall Street Journal's Dan Henninger points out President Obama is on a ruinous course because President Obama has never learned the art of compromise.

George Will's take on the fiscal cliff:  Fiscal Cliff Is No Accident; It's The Left's Agenda.

Congratulations to Senator Jim DeMint, albeit his voice is needed in the Senate, he will continue to make a difference at Heritage Foundation.
