« Out and About | Main | It's the Little Things That Count » October 21, 2005Today's Reading ListThe War: Donald Sensing has a personal update. So does Thunder 6. Politics: In Tennessee, state House Majority Leader Kim McMillan, D-Clarksville, says her work as an attorney representing a client before a state agency that, as a legislator, she has power over, was proper and legal. Today's Tennessean story, however, has no comments from McMillan on whether or not it was proper for her to pass a law creating the exemption to state law that allowed her to do it. ... Also in today's Tennessean, news of a move to clean up another ethical mess, and an editorial opposing a proposal to allow the voters of Nashville to vote on property tax increases. ... And Bob Krumm has two posts on ethics in state government, including this one and one listing ten reasons why Gov. Bredesen decided to not call for a special session on ethics. On the national scene, Ed Morrissey says there's a way for President Bush to gracefully exit the Miers nomination debacle. ... Blake Wylie has a Porkbusters update on the vote by 82 Senators, including both from Tennessee, to waste $220 million on that "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska instead of reigning in pork spending and diverting the money to rebuilding bridges destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Glenn Reynolds has more here, with copious links. The Blogosphere: Terry Heaton is overwhelmed. Says Heaton, "facing surgery without insurance is nothing compared to facing surgery with friends."

Hope this is topical. My seething rage knows no bounds. Buried deep in The Tennessean was a tiny little piece from The Washington Post headlined "4 Contractors killed after wrong turn". Para 5 goes like this "Two contractors who were not killed in the initial firing were dragged from their vehicle, and one was shot in the back of the head, the newspaper said. The crowd "doused the other with petrol and set him alight. Barefoot children, yelping in delight, piled straw on to the screaming man's body to stoke the flames," according to the report. This happened last month. Help me out here, where is the liberal outrage. The conservative outrage is right here. Posted by: Kate Shanahan at October 23, 2005 10:31 AMPost a comment
