Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Scouring the Internet Before Things Turn Sour

Races in many parts of the country this past week have remained extremely close.  The wait the country is experiencing now is one result.  As I scour various news sites tonight, I am struck by the weakness of our current election process.  Money has tainted everything.  There remains little legitimacy to much of our government processes.  The National Weather Service gets the weather right some of the time, but at least they are honest.  Can you imagine if the Weather Service suddenly began touting "the best weather prediction experience in the history of the country.  You can trust the National Weather Service to deliver the best forecasting products directly to your intelligent computer or intelligent phone.  Sign up today for our new Severe Weather app and learn where political storms and real storms are likely to intersect.  Click here for the Weather Service app store."  Did I hear someone just say they already have that app.?  Let's hope not.

Still, are we not at the point of having the most commercialized federal government in history -- if the Republicans should win control of the Senate?  Who says these neanderthals won't start up the impeachment machinery over some new technicality or other?  That is, if they win the Senate, still not a sure thing.

Sam Wang, where are you now when we need you?
