USS Clueless was one of my favorite sites on the web and the one I miss the most. Stephen's insight into a vast array of topics was always staggering and his engineer's brain made him one of the most logical, organized writers around. His writings are precient and just as topical today as they were 3 years ago when they were written. I was rereading Deadly mushrooms for logic supporting the war in Iraq. Read the whole thing as they say. It's worth your time.
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.
