elfsObviously, Bush and company do not ever learn their lessons, or believe that they can continue to get away with the most corrupt crap possible while living in a virtual panopticon. The only maddening aspect to this whole thing is that we haven't had a populace willing to do something serious about it, like tell our congresscritters to get off their asses and engage in a little oversight.
I've been listening to The Psychedelic Avengers, a group of Internet musicians who put together ad-hoc studio bands to record... something. It's good music that mixes all kinds of styles: rock, house, electronica. The title above is just a fragment: track five is actually entitled In which young space pilot Lex Hunter finds out that a beta booster sound system, two teenage psycho nymphs from Bebulas 5, three orgasmatron pills and zero gravity can make a pretty good party. Now that's a title!
Senate Democrats urged President Bush on Thursday to withdraw his nomination of top lobbyist Michael E. Baroody from the National Association of Manufacturers to lead the Consumer Product Safety Commission, saying the candidate was unqualified and the appointment posed insurmountable conflicts of interest.Mr. Fox, enjoy the henhouse. Here's your appetizer. Good grief, this isn't cronyism, it stinks of outright capital corruption. Isn't it time the whole "high crimes and misdemeanors" thing kicked in already?
In a letter to President Bush, Senator Bill Nelson of Florida and Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, both Democrats, said Mr. Baroody "cannot escape a serious conflict of interest" because he will receive a $150,000 departing payment from the association.
