oversight

Last night at the republican convention, Marsha Blackburn was talking about being a mother and wife.

The ED problem that Nashville is having is now coming to Knoxville. No oversight by elected officials once it is passed to an outside group. In Knoxville's case it is KCDC that is given the power and does the dirty work of ED.

House Republican leaders pressured 13 of their members to switch their vote from “yes” to “no” during Wednesday's vote on the Commodity Markets and Transparency Act (H.R. 6604), a bill designed to rein in oil profiteers.

Richard Clarke tells a conference of lefty bloggers that we should worry over the junta of military intelligence and private defense contractors running this country's homeland security apparatus:

NYTimes has an editorial on Barack Obama's recent flip flops, of which the most regressive and Machivellian to me is his course change on telecom immunity and federal wiretapping:

I often get asked about our leadership structure at Cross Point. This is an important part of Cross Point because we attempt to structure the church in a way that maximizes ministry and minimizes bureaucracy, and yet, still provides accountability on all levels.

Mr. Burton,

It deeply disturbs me that Barack Obama has voiced tentative support of HR 6304, the so-called "FISA compromise." I need Senator Obama to explain exactly why FISA, alone, is no longer sufficient to gather vital intelligence prior to his vote next week in the Senate on this legislation.
