The Man Who Saved the World Finally Recognized. Hard to imagine the burden this man bore that day. Thank God he thought before simply acting like the automaton they wanted him to be. The thing that leftists miss about this war vs. the Cold War is that then we were facing rational actors. The Soviets had enough firepower to destroy us all several times over. That they never used it is a testament to their rationality. Put those weapons in the hands of al-Qaeda or Hamas or Hezbollah and they won't have the same restraint.

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.
