• Our David and Goliath Society. Ann Davidow exclusively for BuzzFlash.com on February 26. Elizabeth Warren, bailout watchdog and financial analyst, said on the Bill Maher show, that the failure of our legislative institutions to reform the banking industry is essentially “... a David and Goliath story”- - that lobbyists far outnumber the members of Congress and that their efforts are non-stop in the pressuring of elected officials. But that analogy is equally valid in other areas of our lives; power brokers at all levels of government threaten the foundations of our democracy. And they are matched by the greed of business-owners for whom amassing wealth is the bellwether of their existence.

""You can cry about the fiscal situation... or you can take it as an opportunity to change, reinvent yourself and innovate and that's what were going to do in Colorado Springs," City Councilman Sean Paige said." The "city" is indeed reinventing itself -- as a third world dump. This is all the result of Tea Party lunacy run amok as the voters of Colorado made it almost impossible for the state and municipalities to raise money through taxes as part of their "Taxpayers Bill of Rights."

But now, new revelations of safety problems with Toyotas have Lee pressing to get his case reopened and his freedom restored.
