One more from Sully: The Cost of Prejudice points to the problem we have with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". I'm beginning to waver on my support of the ban on gays serving openly. We should be governed by rules, not lifestyles. Enforce the fraternization rules and most of this wouldn't be a problem. Firing desparately needed translators and technicians during wartime is lunacy.
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.
