Go Go Senate Democrats Monday, June 20, 2005

My editorial side comes out today.

It's sweet to see Senate Democrats in Washington givin' hell to W on just about everything. He's looking for exit strategies on social security and war in Iraq. They kept the judicial filibuster which means they still have the power levy against SCOTUS nominees.John Bolton will probably end up being a recess appointment because Bush won't get him through either. The Senate Democrats have stuck together thanks to Harry Reid and a few Republicans came to their senses and realize Bolton is not the man for the job. All that has to happen is for the White House to turn over some documents and this issue would be solved and vote could proceed. It will be W's fault if Bolton doesn't get through.

On another note, the big banks really need to quit shafting everyone on credit card fraud. It's getting completely out of hand. Mastercard had 40 million cc#s compromised. They SAY no one should be worried and they have no plans of telling people who had their cards compromised. Just let them deal with the consequences I guess. Call Senator Schumer in New York and tell him we need this to be investigated. Better yet, tell Senator Specter from Pennsylvania. He's the judicial committee man. Tell him needs to convene an investigation because the banks don't pay for this, the businesses and customers do.

Locally, how much more can we endure from Ernie's antics? His administration is turning out to be one of the most corrupt in recent memory... or the most inept. If you come to Frankfort to play the game, you'd best know how to play it and who all the players are. It's obvious Ernie isn't. Pence is in his job unconstitutionally, Ernie's obviously doesn't know the rules. Maybe they should both just quit while they're ahead. We need a strong candidate to run for Governor because based on the way things are right now, Ernie's quite beatable.
