In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Public Servants?

If you use a search engine to examine the financial status of the last two FBI directors, you find they're worth millions. According to the author of this book:

"If you ask most Americans what they thing about the FBI, they would tell you it's far and away the government agency they trust the most. The Bureau has, for decades, sold an image of itself as efficient, professional, unbiased, and untouchable by corruption. 

That portrait is a sham.

Seamus Bruner and the Government Accountability Institute have spent years cataloging the widespread conflict-of-interests of the D.C. political class. The have found massive self-enrichment and political bias the highest levels of government - including the Justice Department and the FBI. Indeed, the nation's most important law enforcement agency has become so compromised that every major investigation should face intense scrutiny from the public, the media, and from Congress. 

James Comey, Robert Mueller, Andrew McCabe, and the rest of the recent FBI leadership should be forced to answer for the way the Bureau has abused the public trust under their watch..


The FBI is a law enforcement agency. Somehow, it became a country club for attorneys, and they use that power for lucrative deals, while helping others in the agency. I don't know if all they do is illegal, but do know it's unethical. U.S. citizens deserve better, and those involved need to be held accountable.
