Apparently, Dick Cheney thinks he is above the law. Time has past in terms of when the U.S. congress should have impeached him. The Congress we have today should make no American proud, as they only serve the big businesses.

Simple put, an earmark is what your representative spends their money on. It is a way for OUR representatives to show how they are spending funds by providing a project of interest to their constituents. So, wouldn’t you think it would be fairly simply to ask for a copy of their earmark. For all we know they are spending it on building new sport stadiums.
Well CNN went out to our Congress to ask them for a copy of their earmarks. Here are the highlights:
Check out the rest of the story here…
In 2006, Congress approved a record $29 billion in earmarks –those spending requests derided as “pork” that fund everything from road construction and research grants to ski lifts and minor league baseball diamonds. Legislators view these projects as important proof that they are serving their constituents back home.

The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal national poll results vividly show a population incredibly dissatisfied with their nation’s political system. In other countries in other times such a depressing level of confidence in government would send a signal to those running the government that a major upheaval is imminent. But not here in the USA. Why?

Today’s Hot Topic will feature an article written by Paul Craig Roberts. Here is an excerpt. I encourage everyone to read the rest of the article through the below link.
“The neocons think that by bombing Iran the US will provoke Iran to arm the Shiite militias in Iraq with armor-piercing rocket propelled grenades and with surface to air missiles and unleash the militias against US troops. These weapons would neutralize US tanks and helicopter gunships and destroy the US military edge, leaving divided and isolated US forces subject to being cut off from supplies and retreat routes. With America on the verge of losing most of its troops in Iraq, the cry would go up to “save the troops” by nuking Iran.”

This is a great article and should shed some light as to why we are in Iraq. What are your thoughts? Agree? Disagree?
The article is written by Jay Bookman of the AJC.
The official story on Iraq has never made sense. The connection that the Bush administration has tried to draw between Iraq and al-Qaida has always seemed contrived and artificial. In fact, it was hard to believe that smart people in the Bush administration would start a major war based on such flimsy evidence. The pieces just didn’t fit. Something else had to be going on; something was missing.
