What a Tangled Web We Weave is PJ O'Rourke's review of Wonkette's novel. He completely pans it but tries to say nice things about her in the process. Essentially, he things she's written below her abilities. I don't have much of an interest in her book when there are so many others I've yet to read. Hell, I even have some of PJ's books that I have to read.
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.
