shoot the thief, not the messenger

i'm beginning to think john roberts is going to work out ok. hype aside, i think he'll be boring and uneventful. and, it's hard to stop his nomination anyway, so let's just get it over with.

though, i would like the president to stop blocking information. we have the most secretive administration since nixon, and you see what he got us. we have laws allowing people access to information so we know how our government is run. the bush administration has circumvented most of that and kept secret it's reasoning for policy decisions. or it has lied to us about them. energy policy? war in iraq? pork-filled highway bill? we live in a kakistocracy. at least it's not a kleptocracy.
