Yale grades portray Kerry as a lackluster student. *Yawn*. This is not really news. I don't think Kerry is dumb nor do I think good grades = smart. Rather, he and the Pres. are scions of wealth and privilidge. So they screwed around in college and got by anyway. Big deal. The funniest part of the article is the continued spin about how Bush's grades were nearly identical. They could not deal with the issue on its own, they had to put Bush in there to minimize the impact.
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.
