Third half day in a row! Huzzah. The bad news is, I am still running on fumes. Colin was up and crying at 12:30. Back to sleep by 1:00. Then I was up at 3 and again at 6 with little fitful sleep in between. My poor wife is at her wits end. She's even less rested than I am. Yesterday I tried to get her to take a nap but no avail. Perhaps today she won't be so reticent.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
