McCain’s rag-tag team

Here’s one of McCain’s boys linked to subprime mortgage crisis. I don’t think this reflects much about McCain, but find it interesting none the less

Space tourism rising

2010 is the new date.  Personally I think all of you out there who want to go into space are crazy, but than again, I’m crazy too.  Just not like that.

Charging the tax payers double

A glimpse into what is systematically fucked up with America.  A monopoly printer for US government documents earned an extra $100 million in 16 months by charging the government over double the cost for printing blank pass ports.  Now, I’m not against people making money, but is this really the kind of thing that should be going on during an economic crisis unrivaled since the Great Depression.   This kind of thing is endemic throughout all levels of our government.  During prosperous times perhaps not so harmful.  But these are not such times.
