Out of Control

A concrete failure. Why is a private company responsible for such an important safety issue? Why isn't a state agency in charge of such matters? Better ask your local Republican - Where's Rudy, America's Mayor, when you need him? / A promise made, and then broken. Many have attacked Obama over his funding decision, but read this and you may calm down a bit. / Anyway, this is worse, and I'm more pissed at Obama for supporting warrantless wiretapping. / Happy Birthday, Baby. / Time for a Green Industrial Revolution? / How Peggy Noonan won the Democratic primary (yes, it's a link to a Women's Wear Daily article, but it is nonetheless interesting, so pipe down already). / The 21 Club: Twenty One - the number of legislators in the 109th Congress investigated for corruption - that's almost 4%. And check the split; 17 Republicans, and 4 Democrats. The Democrats account for less than one percent, while the Republicans account for more than 3%. And a Republican is four times more likely to be a crook, or at least bend the rules so much as to get noticed. Way to go! Right on, America! Yeh! / Let's look at The Big Picture. / Everything seemingly is spinning out of control.
