If you read nothing else today, read this in Vanity Fair. I find VF to be the most hit or miss magaine in America. Either it's complete drivel or absolute home runs. This is the latter. It's a timeline from NORAD for 9/11. It coalates the audio from that day from many different sources and shows the failure of our attempts to scramble fighters to intercept that day.
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.
