Finally, A Senator Who Speaks the Truth:
Senator Bernard Sanders is an independent from Vermont. That explains in part why he could speak the truth openly in the U. S. Senate when he called the credit card industry nothing more than a "loan sharking" operation. Sanders tried to get a bill through that would limit interest rates on credit cards to a max of 15 percent, which, according to Judeo-Christian standards, is immoral. In fact, anything above 10 percent is usury and immoral.
But 2 out of 3 senators voted against the proposal. Should we be shocked that two-thirds of U. S. Senators are in favor of the current banking industry's Mafia-like practices?
The proposal had a number of other vary reasonable measures as well, reported in Carl Hulse's New York Times' article.
The Emperor Comes Out of Hiding:
Dick Cheney emerged from his money lined cave to become the face of the Republican party this past Sunday, supplanting Rush Limbaugh as, ah, err … the Republicans' version of the voice of reason. (Gag! Cough!) In the few days that have passed since that historic (sic) meeting on TV with one condescending reporter, the media has gone gaga over this new turn of events. Just when young Jeb had set out to repaint the Republican portrait, Tricky Dick No. 2 showed up to push the grand old party back into the cesspool. (See today's Washington Post.)
Background: Cheney is the politician whose private army enriched him during the current war in the middle east, a war whose rational was fabricated by Cheney among others. Cheney refused to divest himself of his financial interests during his time in office, as required by law. It should be noted that Cheney has never had anything to say about the state of the dollar, the economy, the banking industry, the environment, or any social issues. His soul philosophy of governing seems to be to fulfill his wishes to see Americans kill people in the middle east. Vicariously, of course. Tricky Dick No. 2 is also known as one of America's leading draft dodgers during the Vietnam War.
The man's a one trick pony, and that trick is to line his pockets with taxpayers' moneys.

At least in Vietnam, tricky Dick had an exit strategy. And how about Dick stumping for Flush Windbag over General Powell?
