The impending demolition of the two gasometers in Shrewsbury draws me back to the demolition of the gasometer in Forest Park Southeast. Once one of two gasometers at Laclede Gas Company's Pumping Station G and built in 1901 (rebuilt in 1942), the Forest Park Southeast gasometer was a landmark for over a century. When Highway 40 was first built, the gasometer's prominence greatly increased, and it was...

Doug Johnson's response: As National Right to Life has previously noted , Senator Reid's bill [on page 118] would authorize the federal government to pay for any and all abortions through a huge new federal health insurance program, the "public option," and also to subsidize purchase of private plans that cover abortion on demand. President Obama and Reid know that the substance of these...

Ah, compromise! There's nothing like an extreme assault on women's reproductive rights to make you truly appreciate moderation. On Wednesday night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid introduced the proposed Senate healthcare bill, which trades the House's stringent Stupak-Pitts language in favor of a limited ban on federal funding of abortions. Essentially, the bill applies the restrictions found in...

Yesterday at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference the switch will finally be flicked on Microsoft’s long awaited cloud computing offering Azure . Of course spinning up an infrastructure offering is one thing, having products and services to run on it is another – and this is where my accounting/ERP interest dovetails nicely with our cloud computing focus. Acumatica is a privately...

It didn't take long. Only yesterday pro-abort groups like Planned Parenthood and EMILY's List began pushing Barack Obama to dump the Stupak/Pitts Amendment from the socialized healthcare bill. Tonight during an interview with ABC's Jake Tapper , Obama responded: President Obama said today that Congress needs to change abortion-related language in the health care bill passed by the House of Representatives...

expressed concern to me earlier tonight that the Dems walk out of this marathon leadership session with a faux compromise that fools folks into believing abortion won't be funded. Thankfully the likes of Doug Johnson, the stalwart factchecker from the National Right to Life Committee, exists to keep things in check. The key question, though: Will the Catholic bishops be stalwart like Doug? That may...

The article below indicates Catholic pro-life Democrats are having a problem defying their bishops on the healthcare bill currently as written. They are not falling for the phony pro-life Ellsworth amendment. It also indicates Catholic pro-life Dem congressman (and co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus ) Bart Stupak is holding strong with his assertion he has the votes to stop healthcare on...

I ruminated a bit over these Scott McLeod questions over at Doug Johnson's blog , and basically, if we still need this kind of technology boosterism in 2009, we have to consider that the problem might be in the technology and its implementation. That the reason teachers apparently require more exhortation than other professionals is that, compared to other enterprises, they have been uniquely failed...

West Bend - Washington County would spend $7.36 million less next year than this year, as part of a proposed $118.38 million budget for 2010. Most of the decrease - $6.47 million - would come from cutting the annual list of major construction projects and equipment purchases to its smallest size in recent years, County Administrative Coordinator Doug Johnson said. Some projects were deferred for a...

State energy officials are nearing a decision on a ban on new energy-hogging televisions. The first-in-the-nation regulations would phase in starting in 2011 and would set a cap on the amount of power a TV can draw. Large sets would be allowed to use more power than small ones. All models larger than 58 inches would be exempt from the regulations, though they may be covered in the future. All televisions...

It really is a lot of fun to do, you know? I grew up during the development of the UT-UF rivalry in the '90s, a painful time for most of us. I hated watching us get smoked by the likes of Shane Matthews, Danny Wuerffel, Doug Johnson, the Bachelor, etc. On top of all the pain associated with losing, I hated those games because they gave Spurrier a chance to make some snide remark and get away with it....
