What a day. Not one, not two, not even three but four depressing stories in a row. (This is really shaping up to be the worst week ever.) And this entry is for all you liberal commie pinkos out there. They all have to do with the government.
A. Ethics bill on its way. There is otherwise nothing wrong with this story, if there is one thing government today needs it's more ethics (and a new president, but that's redundant.) The problem here is the 17 senators who voted against it. Voters: find out who these people are.
B. Plan would expand surveillance powers. Democrats. They say one thing yet do another. Reminds me of, say, a politician. In this case, many Democratic Congresspeople had run with a strong stance against what the Bush administration has done so far (ergo, they won.) Here, they are blatantly supporting it. Police work is the way to fight terrorism, not - as some may try to convince you to believe - bombing and invading the wrong country. But it can be done legally, with warrants and crazy things like that.
C. Rove aide appears before panel. It's the same arguement with warrantless wiretapping. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE, WHY ARE YOU HIDING. Except in this case, those who are hiding are also the ones responsible for the wiretapping, and they have been super secretive while trampling over the Constitution since day one.
D. Gonzales defends his testimony. Why isn't this man out of a job yet?
