I don't read Dana's blog. I find him uncivil (often in the extreme) and unreasonable. I did, however, read this post about WDEL and I have to admit, I agree with every word. He's dead right that WDEL is the model for a small, local radio station. They don't try to be what they're not and they have smart programming that makes them listenable. Read the whole post, 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.
