Morning review of groups going on Politics in Paradise, Transparency International, Kleptocrasy and Facebook. No to Chevron Oil and the pollution of the rainforest in Ecuador. Noted on the World Transparency Index that South America is high in signs of corruption. I need to study more Political Science and the various "crasys". I think Buttars would be a good vice-presidential candidate in Sarah Palin's move toward the presidency. Our own ethics campaign seems lost in the morass of Federal and state proposed ethics bills being considered on the hill. Looking at clouds promising rain seems to promise more benefit to this area than any political moves by either party. Look over travel pics and family is uplifting and presence of daughter is a boon to one's sanity and peace of mind.
