House ethics...

Dan Boren, Oklahoma Lawmaker, Shares in Gas Field Bounty - NYTimes.com

House ethics rules do not prohibit lawmakers from taking steps to aid industries in which they have a financial stake.

...is an oxymoron on the scale of military intelligence or jumbo shrimp. The government is corrupt from bottom to top (who knew US law enforcement agencies conduct "Attorney General Exempt Operations," BTW?) and that is really not a good thing.

(Sorry about the links to the Times but, dude, if you haven't figured out how to deal with that by now you should just go buy yourself a book.)
