Terrorists Attack Saudi Oil Facility (updated). This one is very troubling. A serious blow to Saudi facilities would cause a worldwide shock that would drive oil through the roof. How high? Impossible to say. $5 a gallon is not unlikely. If that happens, look for me. I'll be the guy with the thermostat at 55 and cruise control set at 12.
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.
