Corruption Daily Round-Up 10-06 UPDATED


I define corruption not only as wrong-doing but wrong-thinking. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but thinking that Roman Polanski doesn't deserve prison time is wrong-thinking and therefore corrupt. Calling people racist because they disagree with you is wrong-thinking and therefor corrupt. You get the picture. I am posting these examples of corruption because I believe in naming and shaming.

POLITICAL CORRUPTION
Another corrupt political hack in the Obama administration. Official at ACORN Funder to Head Corporation for National and Community Service. Does Obama really want anyone with ACORN ties near him? I suspect, it makes him like he's at home among friends.

Rangel rakes in cash from island rum scrum. Chairman weighs two tax bills. And cashes out on both of them. Stay classy Rangel.

Gates Wants Leaders' War Advice Kept Private. It's probably not a good idea to offend the military, just like it wasn't a good idea for Bush to offend the CIA. Things can get real leaky, real fast.

Now Obama loses the Richard Gere vote. Good comment.

Should the US Tax Mileage or Fuel? NO!

Criminalizing everyone. Needed: A 'clean line' to determine lawfulness.
