Blogging on the iPhone

I've blogged from my iPhone before so this isn't exactly new, but this post was written using the new Wordpress iPhone native app just released in the app store today. I like it!

On Ben’s view on how to fix the Legislature

Ben posted in his blog today about a plan on how to “fix” the United States Legislative Branch by getting rid of the Senate. In his view the Senate makes representation unfair because since each state gets 2 senators, in some states, like Alaska, the senator represents a lot less people then a senator from other states, like California. I must say I disagree with his assesment on the health of our checks and balances system, and here’s why…
