If [Bob Ney] has the most to lose, [Ralph Reed] has the least to gain from his long, close relationship with [Jack Abramoff]. After leaving the executive director's job at Pat Robertson's Christian organization, Reed wrote Abramoff to ask for help in "humping" corporate accounts. Reed was instantly humping Indian tribes, as Abramoff paid Reed's firm to direct anti-gambling campaigns designed to preserve regional Indian gaming monopolies. (Reed says he didn't know the source of the money.) The millions Abramoff paid Reed was good for business but bad for electoral politics. Reed is starting his first campaign for public office, as a candidate for lieutenant governor in the Georgia Republican Primary.

Indeed, some of Washington's largest and most ruthless public- relations firms are spearheading the effort to revive rail, and no wonder.

When General Electric blamed "a variety of energy regulations that establish lighting efficiency standards" for the closing of bulb factories in Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, it ignored a critical detail: It and fellow light bulb manufacturers Phillips and Osram Sylvania had lobbied for those restrictions.
Ignore claims about global warming. The motive behind the bulb ban was money: Incandescents have a low profit margin.

FIGHTIN' FRIGHT
Who's buying into White House scare tactics? Not Republicans, and not tea partyers either, says a new Pew Research Center poll gauging public reaction to President Obama 's predictions that certain doom looms if the debt ceiling isn't raised by Aug. 2.

If democracy does not take root in the Muslim world, terrorism will thrive. We must stick literally to our guns, and not be distracted by critics who believe anything less than perfection means failure.
