Notes in brief

I know I said no politics but this is more about news than politics:


Al Gore for Secretary of State?

You could do worse. He's a far sight better than John "Magic Hat" Kerry would be.

Michael Steele for GOP chair? Heck yes! Better him than Newt. They need some new blood in there. Newt is a shrewd operator and there's absolutely room for him somewhere just not the public face of the GOP.


No audit for Obama campaign? Very bad news. This sets a dangerous precedent and sends the message that even if you win with illegal contributions you won't be blamed.


Bluster and bluff from Iran. They're sending a message that they're still important and still a player. They also saw the US mucking about in Syria and Pakistan and are getting nervous. Even with President Hope-n-Change waiting in the wings US foreign policy's guiding force has always been momentum and Mr. O isn't going to do a 180 on anything despite promises to the contrary.

I am not sure about the Al Gore comment. There might be a few as bad but worse? Gore is pretty bad.

But i agree with you on the Mr. O and his lack of follow through. I think the liberal illuminati have promised a lot of change and given a lot of hope but i, like you have my doubts. I guess we will see.

Meh. Gore is all global wormening these days but he did have a brush with sanity early in his VP career. Perhaps it's still there. As crazy as he is about Republicans being bad guys he'd be OK wrt foreign policy. At least it's not Biden.

"liberal illuminati"
You use this frequently. Is it shorthand for liberal elites or meant to convey some sort of grand conspiracy?

The left-wing illuminati snubbed Gore, and chose Hillary, because they somehow feel they are getting two for one with her and Bill.

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.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
