More on Rezko - that a story with negative overtones for Obama even has legs is news at this point.

Some good and bad news on open government. MD lists salaries of many gov. workers on the Web. That's the good news. The bad news is how many pull down over $150k in a small state in love with taxes - almost 5,000 and growing.

It comes with a warning that if you use it your a spy or somethin and then it won't tell you all the USAID the intelligence committee authorized for pals at NGOs through CIA. The Afghan war funding isn't there. The Iraq funding is and now we're all debating what came first; The intlligence Committee pals and PC and Grenn Berets and Afghanistan or Iraq?

So, is Dan bitching about how people in government employment aren't getting paid minimum wage or that local government is able to support so many of them at such good salaries? Maybe he's just pissed cause he's unemployed. Who can say?

But its a bit ironic that Dan is once again complaining about taxes when he's been backing the biggest spender in Federal government history for the last 8 years. I mean, 5000 people earning $150k+? That's, like, three Bridge To Nowheres worth of budget gone towards meaningful public service rather than inflating some crony's property values.

What this has to do with Rezko remains entirely uncertain. But no doubt Barack Obama wants to raise your taxes.
