The lobbyist issue

Obama’s running mate has associations with some lobbyists (like almost all people in congress).
McCain has 5 (or 7, depending on who you count) on his campaign payroll.
Yeah, that’s the same thing…

Yes, they are all lying

Is there any part of this government we’ve brought upon ourselves that ISN’T lying to the public?
The VA claimed there were 790 attempted suicides in 2007, when, in actuality there are 1000 suicide attempts a month???  Oh, yes, we must hide this.

Mel doesn’t want you to know HOW rich he got from Jesus

Well, I suppose it really doesn’t look very good to get filthy rich (or, I guess, filthier richer) off of the suffering of your Lord.  Of course, it could also be that he’s unchristian in his greed and doesn’t want to share.  You make the call.

H&R Block getting a smack for screwing people in need

This makes me happy. I remember, in Cambridge, noticing the interest rates on this crap and wondering how that could be a refund. Then NPR did a thing on people who were desperate and taking these loans (and thats what they are) because they simply couldn’t get by without the money.
