Beslan's unanswered questions is required reading. I had no idea that any of them escaped. Beslan was a slap in the face for me (and likely you too). It made me realize why we have an explosion in the numbers of SWAT teams around the country. My worst nightmare is something like that happening to me. I'd sooner chew my own arm off than go through what those families did.
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.
