Investigations....Really?
Many Bush programs need investigation, incoming Reform chairman says


http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-11-10-waxman_x.htm?csp=24



LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Democratic congressman who will investigate the Bush administration's running of the government says there are so many areas of possible wrongdoing, his biggest problem will be deciding which ones to pursue.
There's the response to Hurricane Katrina, government contracting in Iraq and on homeland security, political interference in regulatory decisions by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration, and allegations of war profiteering, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., told the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.

1. If it were up to me, I'd go for war profiteering first...
I think so many other scandals flow from that.

2. Culture of Corruption
So, much corruption, Waxman will have to pick and choose what he'll be investigating. Honestly, he could probably spend the rest of his tenure in Congress and still not get to the bottom of all the Republican criminal wrongdoing.

5. True dat.
I used to get emails from his office and I think he has been collecting them for a long time. It will be hard to prioritize them!

3. "The most difficult thing will be to pick and choose."
"I'm going to have an interesting time because the Government Reform Committee has jurisdiction over everything," Waxman said Friday, three days after his party's capture of Congress put him in line to chair the panel. "The most difficult thing will be to pick and choose."

4. Sleep well Mr. P?


Golden Slumbers
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

6. Oh I hope so
Investigations MUST happen or there is no justice in the world.
