The shockwaves continue. Now in Cuba! Simply amazing. The Cubans are not blind to what has been going on around the world. Will this be the Cigar Revolution? The Sugar Cane Revolution? (Anyone has any other name ideas?) Cubans, unlike most Ukranians or Uzebecks et al. have many close contacts to the US. They watch HBO, have many American relatives and they now know that now is the time to force the issue. I believe Cuba is a tinderbox that may ignite in short order. To be sure, if you think the Americans are supportive of Georgian, Ukranian, Lebanese or Iraqi indepenance, wait until Cuba rises up. The entire state of Florida will be sailing, rowing, or swimming back to Cuba if they can help string Fidel from a lamp post. Bring on the PROTEST BABES!
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.
