Take out the garbage, don't sweep it under the rug

Many, and I include myself, feel that our government is broken & the country is on the wrong track.

Before it can be fixed, we have to know where it's broken.

To me that means Congressional investigations and all the negative hoopla that surrounds them. It'll suck, but that's how American checks and balances work. It isn't pretty or pleasant, but it works.

Executive power grabs, Congressional corruption, war profiteering, Katrina negligence with thousands of dead, and doctored Iraq intel with tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands dead are things I want to see fixed, and they aren't gonna fix themselves.

Odds are the White House will resist, obstruct, pillory, and delay every Congressional inquiry of this sort. They'll cry partisan witch hunt, scream dirty politics, we'll all be sick of the acrimony, and gridlock will paralyze the Congress.

Good. Bring it on!

If the boat is sinking far from land, which is more important: Steaming ahead at full speed or plugging the leaks?

So my message to the people pimping bipartisan harmony and singing Kumbaya with Bush in DC is this:

Wake up and smell the corpses!
