Rev. Al "the 'do" Sharpton gets caught speeding. Sort of. He wasn't driving, just the passinger. His driver was doing 110 in a 65 and weaving through traffic. Police made note that it was a 9 mile chase in the report. Sharpton dismissed the report with a sniff and a wave. His driver was arrested, his vehicle impounded and Al hitched a ride to the airport with someone else. Typical. He probably told the guy to go as fast as possible and left him twisting in the wind when he got in trouble. Nice guy.
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.
