Alex says I should copy my posts from my two blogs here to let my friends, who don't go them too often, know what I'm up to. Since I can't spend the time redoing all the links here, I'll just paste the first pargraph of my posts here until we can figure out how to "syndicate" them. (whatever that means)

The next skandal: Robert McCallum and other administration malfeasance.
On Friday the WaPo reported:
"A federal judge ruled yesterday that Associate Attorney General Robert D. McCallum Jr. must undergo questioning in a lawsuit by a nonprofit group seeking records about the Justice Department's conduct in a landmark case against the tobacco industry." [see smokey history]
The nonprofit group in question, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) explains:
"Last June, CREW submitted a Freedom of Information Act {FOIA) request to DOJ asking for records relating to the proposed penalty in United States v. Philip Morris, Inc. As a penalty for the tobacco industry's violations of racketeering laws, DOJ had initially sought $130 billion, at a rate of $5.2 billion per year over 24 years, to fund a smoking cessation program. Suddenly and without explanation, in June 2005 DOJ drastically dropped the amount to only $10 billion, at a rate of $2 billion per year for five years."
