DARK DAYS AHEAD FOR TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT:

I give you two headlines that pretty much say it all:

Obama Receives Transparency Award at Secret Meeting

OMB prepares for open gov sites to go dark in May

It is relatively easy to make promises about transparency and to engage in all manner of posturing about it, but when push comes to shove it’s just a lot easier doing certain things (most things) when someone isn’t looking over your shoulder.

Well, on the pro-transparency side, you can see right through them.
