Instapundit.com links to a group of lefty blogs that are raising money for hurricane victims. That got me to thinking; why not use this left/right divide to everyone's advantage. Let's have a group of lefty blogs and righty blogs each form a relief group and see who can raise the most money. Winner gets bragging rights. We can see which side of the divide really cares the most.
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.
