CQ Politics: Hill Democrats wait for Obama's stance on interrogation standards, and as a transition team for the Obama administration begins work on a Justice Department overhaul, the key question is where to begin.

It's clipped winger time at The Opinion Mill's Weekend Bookchat!  Help Shelby Steele find a new subtitle for his book A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't Win. Why can't Joe the Plumber get a book deal? Why can't Amity Shlaes get a clue? And why can't the Church of Scientology leave Amazon.com alone?

Secrecy News: The possibilities for significant changes in government secrecy policy are starting to attract official attention as the presidential transition process begins.

Lets start by arresting every political appointee in the DoJ, and tossing them in the juzgado for a couple of months, taking their keys and the hard-drives of all their e-devices.

And firing every 'non-political' hire since 2000. Across the board...

And putting Mukasey on trial for Obstruction of Justice.

"Why can't Joe the Plumber get a book deal?"

That's gotta be the funniest question ever asked regarding this campaign season. The joke possibility here is just about endless.

They might not want to publish joe the plumber,like boosh, until he reads something.

Might I suggest Persinger, M.A. Feelings of past lives as expected perturbations within the
neurocognitive processes that generate the sense of self: contributions from
limbic lability and vectorial hemisphericity. Perceptual and Motor Skills,
1996, 83, 1107-1121?

I'd love to get my hands on a copy of Phantasmagoriana et la Recuel Phantomes, Esprit, Revenans etc etc etc. But in the meantime I just yestereve bought me a copy of Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy Part 2: The Revenge of the Ridiculous Robo-Boogers.

this is what the BUSH administration lacked. BUSH ruled in secrecy. All the better to avoid checks and balances. Transparency is needed and Obama is fully aware of this. BUSH and company did NOT want
any opposition. His authoritarian intentions were a priority....not the voices of the people.

Sen.Jim Demint is blaming Mccain for losing the presidential election. I guess he does NOT want all that
propaganda to go to waste. There is some concern amongst republicans that Obama is going to break
down the division of parties. Some people like Demint just don't want anything to get done. They fear
the transparency and cooperation.....it dilutes their identity.

fascinating. thanks.

can he read and write?

I guess he couldn't fix McCain's sink

Anyone started their Xmas shopping, yet? If not, break out that plastic, people. It’s almost Christmas and the wingnuts have you covered. Featured: Black lawn gnomes (watermelon included), gun-toting fetus ornaments, electric-burning cross from the AFA and much, much more.
