Discusses Jeff Flake's candicacy for membership in the House Appropriations Committee
"... Mr. Flake received a 100% rating from Citizens Against Government Waste, and along with Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn is the scourge of Congressional earmarkers. In four terms in Congress, Mr. Flake has never sought a special bridge, courthouse, parking lot, or teapot museum for his district. Republican leaders were so incensed at his role in exposing GOP earmarks in 2006 that they booted him off the Judiciary Committee."

"A genuine get-tough policy with Cuba would export something Americans know a little about: freedom. Let's get rid of travel license applications altogether. ... We should heed this advice and end the American policy of Soviet-style travel controls. All Americans should be free to go to Cuba without government interference."
