US denies Iraq pullout plan for 2007. The MSM always harping on bloggers as unsourced, unedited and unaccountable. Once again, they failed to do even the most basic duty of journalism. They repeated what they heard as fact because it fit the template. The template of "US loses in Iraq/Make W. look bad". If possible, my faith in major news outlets has sunk even lower.
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.
