FTA: "Collectively, the owners, including the two Bob Martins and Mr. Brunckhorst, along with other cousins who don’t work at Boar’s Head, received around $1.5 billion in cash distributions over almost a 15-year period, according to estimates derived from court records.

This probably would have remained hidden except for one family member’s discontentment."

Can you lie with a straight face?  Can you get a $1000 suit?  Then you have everything needed to earn six figures in corporate middle management.  Trust me, nobody will notice if you're totally incompetent.

The real issue here is how the tax-and-spend liberals have once again succeeded in massive government bloat.  Shame!  SHAME!!!

{#Whisper} Wot?  It was the Republicans?  No, that can't be right...it says right here in this talking point that the Republicans are for less government...

You have 125 days, folks.  Will you choose to fall for the same pack of lies once again?  Or will you dig in your heels and demand progress?

I haven't read the article yet, I will, but now I would just like to say how glad I am that investigative journalism is back on its feet after a long long time of living off sound bytes.

"The blogosphere is agog at a Washington Post series that uncovers the astonishing, bloated, secret, and likely ineffective national security apparatus that has grown up in the United States following 9/11. Two crack WaPo reporters, Dana Priest and William M. Arkin, spent two years tracking down the story, an increasingly rare example of what the dead-tree media can do when it taps its traditional strengths."

Both reporters appeared this morning on the first hour of the Diane Rehm show.  Very interesting and distrubing what they had to say.
