POLITICAL CORRUPTION
The Mae West Presidency This is a fascinating interpretation of Obama and well worth a read.

Is Virginia blocking military personnel from voting?
The case against Charlie Rangel. I like the subtitle, "Forty years of tax evasion, misdeeds and contempt." Yikes!

Shaming Charlie's pals

This is the trap Liberals fall into time after time, the belief that their ideas didn't fail because there were inherently bad (they are), they failed because they weren't big enough. Communism was a whole continent and it failed big time, guys. Come up with something new or get voted out.
