On the day marking the two-thirds point of Session '13, state Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson and five of his GOP colleagues plan to unveil a $600 million a biennium net proceeds tax on mines, sources confirmed.
The so-called Education Priority Initiative from the folks I have affectionately dubbed the Dirty Half-Dozen would be promoted as...
UPDATE, 4:45 PM: I just got off the phone with Sharron Angle. She confirmed that the new PAC will be active this cycle, and it already has its first event planned, with sessions on lobbying, the Constitution, immigration and....election integrity.

The others:

During Monday night’s stirring Senate floor debate, I couldn’t help but think of Steven.
Steven is my brother. Steven is the most wonderful, loving person I know. He has two incandescent children and a perfectly matched life partner.

Calling the Tsarnaev brothers “killers” (not “alleged” ones) and despite repeatedly urging caution in determining their motives, Rubio, in Las Vegas, repeatedly alluded to homegrown terrorists radicalized by foreign groups.
“One of the things that...
