Interesting republican?

The most interesting Republican you've never heard of - 2012 Elections

I guess he's "interesting" because you can't paint him with a broad brush. He actually seems to have read a book at some point and it's manifestly evil. That confounds the liberal brain. The thing is, there are far more people like this in the GOP than not. The reason liberals don't know who they are is because the people who have been elected by the GOP term after term are institutionalized to the point that they have taken the politically expedient stance rather than the intellectually honest (or at least consistent) one. (c.f. John McCain and Bush 43 on immigration)

I wish he'd run in 2008. Not sure if I love him, but there were precious few good choices in the last presidential campaign.

I think things are going to get very interesting. I think the GOP is in the process of a reboot. The gains they show in Nov. (if there are any) may not be the candidates the GOP old guard want.

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.
