      • If politics wasn't corrupt what we have to talk about on /.?
      • I know the pardons are coming, it's not really the individuals I want stomped out of existence, it's the mindset. I'm hopeful.

        My 2 thoughts on this:

        1. Bush isn't one inclined to issue pardons, particularly for the 'help'.
        2. The nature of the incitments wil
  • and one of the comments to the story there [thinkprogress.org] notes that for tax purposes Miers has been claiming to still be a resident of her home in Dallas. This appears to have saved her over $10,000 in local property taxes on that house, and if she has been doing the s
