April train collision in North Korea leaves 1000. That's how crazy that place is. One thousand people die and nobody knows about it for 2 months. This is not the first problem they've had with train collisons. I suspect(ed) that the aforementioned blast was no accident. Rather, I thought it might be an attempt to kill Kim Jong-Il. Now, I've tempered that thought. It seems they are hopelessly inept when it comes to rail transportation.
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.
