    As many of you know, the new body makeup gives new life to rule of law.

    May 25th 2007 was an important date.  Remember this.

    So was the day the lights were turned out in the house early August of 2008.

    The 25th of May was a discovery date for a certain member of Congress.  It was the date that a certain high ranking congressman discovered the radical potential of wealth that could be generated by high gas prices.  IF.. one holds an interest in breaking Natural gas technology that is.

    So, who wants to be a hero to the Michiganders who instead of paying their mortgage, filled the tank to get to the job that was about to go away?  Who would out of the gate, set their sights on the person who for the sake of profit, broke the back of the American worker already on the ropes from a declining average income? And, who designed and capitulated in 'green' contrivances which had little effect except the destruction of an economy that once seemed unbreakable.

    May 25th 2007, the Speaker Nancy Pelosi bought into CLNE.

    August 1st 2008..  The lights went out in Congress.

    The two events were tied.

    The incoming congress has tools available to it.  Tools that allow us to fully understand what might have been at stake for the American people, and maybe what is too late to fix, for a few Michigan auto workers who used to make SUVs.

    Who will be sitting on the ethics committee?

    That is a start to it.  However, perhaps the government might keep a few manacles handy in the hall closet for dealing with what might come up.

    The winds of change ought to be ...dramatic.

    ...is why the Capitol Critters have such a problem with a common sense topic like "ethics".

    I don't begrudge people making money.

    I do begrudge people who use their position in an unconstitutional fashion to "improve" their odds of making money and/or their return on investment.

    They have shown that they have the capability to police their own (Exhibit A).

    Yes, the last ice age went through Michigan much more quickly, but they can do it.

    Hopefully, things will change in January.

    Democrats never met a dollar of yours they wouldn't tax and never saw one of somebody else's they wouldn't steal. It is odd that so many people that are elected to Congress with net worths of under a hundred thousand dollars end up in two or three terms being worth millions. Jim Moran D-VA comes to mind. When elected 8 years ago he listed a net worth of around $64,000. A mere six years later said Congressman was reporting that he was worth over $6 million dollars. Strange as hell how that happens isn't it. And in many cases if you and I did the same things we would be arrested and sent to jail. But we the people are partially to blame. For to many years we have ignored or meekly accepted this as the way things are in Washington. We must demand more. We must settle for no less. Of course it doesn't help when an obvious crook like Charlie Rangell is re-elected while in the midst of what will turn out to be a very nasty result in his ethics trial. Let's see of the Democrats have the guts to expell this guy from Congress the way they did Jim Traficant. My money says no.
