The Unit premiered the other night. Fabulous. Mamet's fingerprints are all over this one. The plot was tight and believable. If they keep this up, it's sure to be a hit. This is the show that "The Agency" wanted to be. It's also the show that I wanted ALIAS to be. Sadly, the former was too much fluff and silliness and the latter drown in it's own weepy emotion and repetition (SD-6, The Alliance, The Trust et al.).
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.
