Update on the heist in the UK. Now it seems that 53m Pounds was the total haul. Initially, I speculated this was an IRA heist as it matches their MO but now it appears a group of martial artists are behind it. Sounds like they had the heist planned very well but not the after part. Kind of like the war in Iraq. Ha! I crack myself up. *sigh* Yeah, that sucked. What do you want from me? It's early.
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.
