A reminder of what the future brings: pragmatism, centrism, misdirection, and corporate interest. Citizens must keep their goals clearly in mind to win what promises to be a wingdinger of a shell game. (more…)

Well, it was a good try, but mentally unfit? Is it possible there are no standard of proof for impeachment in IL?
Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:
Illinois Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Motion to Declare Blagojevich Unfit to Serve [2:51 p.m. ET]
[Also today, Genson(Blagojevich’s attorney) said it would be illegal for the committee to use recordings from government wiretaps and he questioned the rules that the panel would implement as they assess the governor’s possible impeachment. The attorney said he had looked through the laws and the state constitution and found “nothing” about the basis for impeachment.
“I find nothing, nothing in any of those places that talks about what is the basis and what the basis for impeachment can be,” Genson said. “I find nothing in any of those places regarding the standard of proof.”
Replied Currie, “Impeachment is appropriate if there is cause for impeachment.”]

Cornland Speculators! Green Light Alert!
Politico.com Breaking News:
—————————————————–President-elect Barack Obama plans to name former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack as his choice for Secretary of Agriculture at a news conference Wednesday, transition aides said.
Because he made a brief run for President, On The Issues Org. has a bit on him HERE.
I’m being silly. The Cornland speculators already knew. If we had read the tea leaves properly (corn leaves?) we might have known as well.

Feinstein to Head Senate Intelligence Cmte
Posted in Feminism, Great American Women, Politics, PUMA PAC, The New Agenda, women, tagged Feinstein, I Own My Vote, Intelligence, just say no deal, puma, The Denver Group, The New Agenda, US Senate on December 16, 2008| 1 Comment »
Wiki says:
“Senator Feinstein holds a number of “firsts”; she was the first female President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, San Francisco’s first female mayor, the first woman to serve in the Senate from California, one of two female Jewish senators (both of whom represent California), the first woman to serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the first woman to chair the Senate Rules Committee.”
While many of our eyes are focused on what’s happening with Kennedy, another event has unfolded. Dianne Feinstein is up to run the Senate Intelligence Committee! Out here in the land of the golden sunsets, we knew she was toying with a Governors run, and that would have been a pretty easy jaunt.
No doubt she has chosen the harder road.
Feinstein gets nod to chair intelligence panel

(12-16) 04:00 PST Washington ––
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has been tapped as the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday, a post that would give her immense clout over U.S. intelligence agencies and the power to shape policies on wiretapping and the treatment of detainees.
Feinstein’s promotion was welcome news for other state Democrats, as well as Republicans who plan to run for governor in 2010. The 75-year-old senator has flirted with the idea of running for governor but has told friends and allies she would be unlikely to make a bid if she got the top post on the intelligence panel.

She deserves this appointment. She is exceedingly well equipped for the job.It’s going to put her right in the crosshairs, however, regarding FISA, and the Patriot Act. If you can’t remember how she voted on those particular items, check the Wiki linked to her name above.
Congratulations Dianne! Hope your ankle is healed.
