More on "Who's Running the Country"?


Continued from a couple of days ago.....
#4 Mr. Cass Sunstein was recently confirmed by the Senate as the new "Regulatory Czar". His real title is head of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. His job will be to oversee regulatory policy of federal agencies. This is stuff like regulations, which he will have some power to change apparently, and government forms.
One of Mr. Sunstein's more alarming views is that of internet censorship. He advocates that courts suppress blogs who criticize others; he also believes libel laws should be changed to sue those who might be spreading 'rumors.'
Mr. Sunstein also seems quite a radical concerning animal rights. He believes hunting should be outlawed, as should the eating of meat. He advocates for animals' right to sue humans, and feels that both wild and domesticated animals should have "rights" and be represented in court by human lawyers.
Currently, Mr. Sunstein states that his writings are merely "provocative". Provocatively loony, perhaps?
#5 Mr. Mark Lloyd, the Diversity Czar. Who doesn't seem to believe much in diversity over the air-waves. He has written previously about his concerns of the conservatism and Christianity found in talk radio, and has proposed solutions to this "problem". See

#6 Mr. Kenneth Feinberg, the "pay" czar.
Mr. Feinberg is in charge of making sure that the top executives of those businesses receiving bailout ("TARP") funds aren't making too much money.
Mr. Feinberg may understand large salaries. He made over $5 million dollars--well, closer to six mil--last year as a lawyer. http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSTRE57R45I20090828
His new job seems to, mayhap, gone to his head. Mr. Feinberg proclaims that "the statute
ultimately says I have discretion to decide"...on salaries. Giddily, he states, "Anything is possible under the law."
Enough of these radical folks for now.
