and speaking of bills

the bankruptcy bill, in my view, shares the same undemocratic flaws as the energy bill. both show that this congress is more concerned about lining their pockets than any congress before it.

and i guess i'm not alone:

The bill, in our view, is flawed, although it is not nearly as dangerous as its critics maintain. But even its staunchest proponents should be embarrassed that it was muscled through the House in this kind of Potemkin-democracy way. This process—or, more precisely, lack of process—is becoming routine.

it's not often TP makes direct comment on the stories they report on, but this takes the cake for being so right on target, it destroys all the rings around it.

correction: my bad, TP was referring to the WaPo in its editorial about the bill. TP didn't comment, and FOP regrets the error.
