Microsoft in $7m spam settlement Score one for the good guys! (In this scenario MSFT is actually the good guy.) I'm not one of those tech-guys who must rail against Microsoft at every turn. I generally think they make a decent product. Sure there are some problems and they make some dumb decisions but overall not bad. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me that a giant like Microsoft is bringing its considerable weight to bear on spammers. More please.
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.
