I was watching Flight 93, on A&E and I enjoyed it. It was not maudlin or exploitive. It did not cast any moral judgements and was very matter of fact. There was very little to no extrapolation beyond what is reasonable and possible. They left out character development in favor of keeping it as factual as possible. It's going to be aired a few more times. Check it out, it's worth your time. Kudos to A&E for making this film.
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.
