Good to Know that Some Things Never Change
It will be interesting to see if this is a chant on every talk show for the next 5 years like Haliburton was. I bet not. And this looks worse than anything the Bush Administration did about war zone contracts. There are very few companies that provide logistics and support in the Persian Gulf area so you are likely to get Haliburton for some of the work no matter what. This one looks pretty bad.
Obama Administration Steers Lucrative No-Bid Contract for Afghan Work to Dem Donor
- FOXNews.com
The Obama administration this month awarded a $25 million federal contract for work in Afghanistan to a company owned by a prominent Democratic campaign contributor without entertaining competitive bids, Fox News has learned.
Despite President Obama's long history of criticizing the Bush administration for "sweetheart deals" with favored contractors, the Obama administration this month awarded a $25 million federal contract for work in Afghanistan to a company owned by a Democratic campaign contributor without entertaining competitive bids, Fox News has learned.
The contract, awarded on Jan. 4 to Checchi & Company Consulting, Inc., a Washington-based firm owned by economist and Democratic donor Vincent V. Checchi, will pay the firm $24,673,427 to provide "rule of law stabilization services" in war-torn Afghanistan.
Here is the shady part:
The legality of the arrangement as a "sole source," or no-bid, contract was made possible by virtue of a waiver signed by the USAID administrator. "They cancelled the open bid on this when they came to power earlier this year," a source familiar with the federal contracting process told Fox News.
"That's kind of weird," said another source, who has worked on "rule of law" issues in both Afghanistan and Iraq, about the no-bid contract to Checchi & Company. "There's lots of companies and non-governmental organizations that do this sort of work."

America back to a 2 party system
One of the most liberal states in the union decided they have had enough change and are returning America to a 2 party system. It looks like the people in the Bay State have demonstrated what many of us across the country feel. That America should be a 2 party system and the one party, dictatorial rule that we have had for the past 12 months was not working for us.
Hopefully now we can get some "Open" debate and bipartisanship going in the Congress and Senate for things like Healthcare reform and Cap and Tax.

Speaking of Nutbars
Cindy Sheehan Leads Protest at CIA, Dick Cheney's Home
Saturday, January 16, 2010
LANGLEY, Virginia — A group led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has protested near the CIA's headquarters and former Vice President Dick Cheney's home in northern Virginia.
They were protesting the use of unmanned drone aircraft to attackal-Qaida
and Taliban targets.
WTF? Does she know that Cheney has been out of office for nearly a year? And I thought Obama said Afghanistan was the just war that we should be fighting? And didn't all the anti-Iraq war democrats in Congress say these unmanned drones were the way to fight a war without putting thousands of American soldiers on the ground. Apparently this lady did not get the memo from the DNC that all of this was OK now that the One is C in C.

Maybe we could put Danny Glover on the same spaceship with Pat Robertson and send them to Mars. First Robertson says the Haitians brought the earthquake on themselves and now this:
Danny Glover's Bizarre Explanation for the Haiti Earthquake

Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:
Fault Line
Actor Danny Glover says the earthquake in Haiti is a result of global warming. Glover told GRITtv that it could have happened to any of the Caribbean island nations: "They are all in peril because of global warming."
Then, he lamented the failure of the climate summit in Copenhagen. As a result of that failure, he says, "this is what happened."
I know Glover is a wacko extreme lefty, but this is just crazy. Especially considering that it has been one of the coldest winters on record in the Caribbean region.
