Wow. I've made the Big Blog. Yes, Instapundit has a link to Yours Truly. The downside: It's not for anything I have written or anything of the sort. It's just for being. See, Glenn "the hyperposter" Reynolds is the reason I started this (woefully lacking) blog. I had planned on being a blogger focusing on local issues but they are scarce and so is my time of late. To those of you who bothered to come here via Instapundit, welcome.
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.
