Ricky Jay in top form. I've always liked him b/c I think he appreciates the history and the craft. He's the best at what he does and nobody even comes close. He's branched out into acting and sticks to roles that suit him. He usually plays a grifter of some sort. He always nails the character perfectly. Mostl likely because he understands them and can identify with them. Give it a listen
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.
