My hero today is our soon-to-be-Attorney General Eric Holder, who said at his confirmation hearing, unequivocally, waterboarding is torture and that no one, not even a president, can authorize it.

I am actually starting to think that this country could be turning around.

Meanwhile,USA Today poll reports that a majority of Americans seem to believe Obama will improve things. So far the signs have been encouraging.

Hmmm...I hear he's in some hot water for some pardons he helped get fasttracked to the Clinton White House of some really uncool people. Any info on what was going on with that there?

Yeah, he's now backing away and saying it was a mistake, but he does have that in his past...supporting pardons for white-collar criminals, etc.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can find anyone in politics who doesn't let rich people who commit crimes off the hook. The overwhelming percentage of political figures are wealthy, and they take care of their own. Sucks, but there you go...
