Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

I missed the fact that the video I posted last night was done by the new Bureaucrash Crasher in Chief.

Dear BureauCrash:

I would like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Lee Doren, and I will be the new CIC of BureauCrash starting on May 29, 2009. My goal is to take this grassroots movement to the next level with your help. However, in order to make this a success, I would like to hear your input on how BureauCrash can be improved, both in substance and in terms of the website design, etc.

Please leave your feedback at the bottom so that I may consider your input.

My bio is as follows:

1) I grew up in Buffalo, NY;

2) Graduated from the University of Michigan;

3) I then finished my Law Degree at Chicago-Kent College of Law;

4) During Law School, I was on Chicago-Kent’s Moot Court Honor Society team (currently ranked #1 in the Country);

5) Between classes in Law School I started the blog, “Copious Dissent – Your Daily Dose of Liberty,” as a hobby, writing under the alias “Devil’s Advocate.” Copious Dissent soon was linked to most of the major Conservative/ Libertarian blogs, including Hot Air, Michelle Malkin, Instapundit, Gateway Pundit, Pajamas Media, Right Wing News, Ace of Spades, NewsBusters and Rush Limbaugh’s top headlines, etc. As a result, I was invited to numerous conference calls with Senators, Representatives and the American Petroleum Institute;

6) After I passed the Illinois Bar and began looking for work, I started the YouTube Channel, HowTheWorldWorks, in mid-December 2008, which currently has over 8,000 subscribers;

7) As a result of my YouTube videos, I was asked to blog exclusively for Right Wing News with John Hawkins;

8) In Mid-May of this year, I made a video critique of “The Story of Stuff” that was picked up by Fox News and emailed around to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which is how BureauCrash found me;

9) Eventually, I was asked to interview for the CIC position, and was offered the job this week.

Here is my 4-Part critique on “The Story of Stuff.”

Here is a video I made regarding the merging of the Left-Wing Blogs and mainstream Media:

Here is a typical video that I make on HowTheWorldWorks:

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Best,

Lee

There are a few videos he posts that seem to confirm he’s little more then a stereotypical Republican.

@JDTally, @blogofbile and @danrick77 had this back and forth last night:

(05/30/2009 10:44:24 PM) JDTalley: This thread on Bureaucrash will be fun to watch: http://ow.ly/a9dF #andsad #firewall

(05/30/2009 11:58:25 PM) blogofbile: @JDTalley Umm… how exactly does this guy fit in to Bureaucrash’s culture? Am I missing something?

(05/31/2009 12:33:51 AM) JDTalley: @blogofbile CEI is trying to change the culture of Bureaucrash. That’s fine but they should change the name.

(05/31/2009 05:51:12 AM) danrick77: @jdtalley I thought I’d give this guy a chance. Turns out he’s a grade A toolbag. Crasher since 2000 and I’m likely leaving over this.

Rather unfortunate that the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) would do this. Seems libertarianism has become a threat to the average big government Republican due to their slaughtering in recent elections along with the growing popularity of Ron Paul Revolution and libertarian ideas.

If you can’t beat’em, corrupt’em?

Who knows… perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself and the Bureaucrash culture will change Doren and CEI rather then the opposite. Here’s to hope and change.

The Obama administration is engineering its new bailout initiatives in a way that it believes will allow firms benefiting from the programs to avoid restrictions imposed by Congress, including limits on lavish executive pay, according to government officials.

Administration officials have concluded that this approach is vital for persuading firms to participate in programs funded by the $700 billion financial rescue package.

The administration believes it can sidestep the rules because, in many cases, it has decided not to provide federal aid directly to financial companies, the sources said. Instead, the government has set up special entities that act as middlemen, channeling the bailout funds to the firms and, via this two-step process, stripping away the requirement that the restrictions be imposed, according to officials.

Although some experts are questioning the legality of this strategy, the officials said it gives them latitude to determine whether firms should be subject to the congressional restrictions, which would require recipients to turn over ownership stakes to the government, as well as curb executive pay.

The administration has decided that the conditions should not apply in at least three of the five initiatives funded by the rescue package.

This strategy has so far attracted little scrutiny on Capitol Hill, and even some senior congressional aides dealing with the financial crisis said they were unaware of the administration’s efforts.

More change? Sounds just like something the GWB administration would have done and that the Democrats would have gone apeshit over.

Follow the link above to get the specifics. It’s fairly shady.

Paul: More troops a “disaster”

Far too short.
