The Amazing Rise of the Do-It-Yourself Economy makes my head spin. It's amazing the breadthe of the changes the interweb has wrought (Thanks Al Gore!). Really, I could get my brain around the communication changes, putting people together who would otherwise never speak. Break down the barriers and so on. I never imagined the business implications could be so massive as well. We truly live in amazing times.
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.
