Don't count on Congress.

At least someone is asking questions. Pity it's not elected officials.

Merry Christmas Freddie and Fannie

Bailouts just keep on rolling. The lesson? CEO's go to work for Freddie/Fannie. Shoot even the HR director is going to clear more than 2 mill. Ben Nelson could not have brokered a better deal.

Time to get away from it all

Tired Senators? I have a solution for you; Go home. Take the rest of the year and part of the next off. So far, instead of doing the peoples business, you've done your business on the people. In your current state of exhaustion, you certainly can not be trusted to make prudent decisions. Haven't you screwed things up enough? It's bad enough you have access to our checkbook when you get a good nights sleep- God knows what you're capable of when you're up in the wee hours of the night, carving up America's future amongst yourselves.
I'm not a doctor but I'll stay at a Holiday Inn if it'll help you pay attention to my advice. And my advice is to go home. Get some sleep. Ponder your accomplishments over the last year. Maybe take a few minutes to ask yourself if your actions have help your children and grandchildren. Let me rephrase that, have your actions helped my children and grandchildren?
America is trillions in debt. I wonder how you can sleep at all.

Congressional Multitasking Defined

Effective time management.

Finally, we can thank the brave souls in congress for the courage to break the stranglehold that the BCS has on college football. You need only look at the front page of any failing newspaper in the country to see how this issue continues to dominate the headlines. The cable news networks, Sunday shows and political blogs are filled with story after heart-string-tugging story about the detrimental affects of not knowing who the true college national champion is. How many of us have sat at the kitchen table, opening up bills and re-adjusting our family budgets, looking across the table at your spouse, uttering, "If only there were a collegiate football playoff system, things would be so much easier".

Everyone in this country should be insulted by this. This further illustrates the disregard the ruling political class has for the citizens of this country. No wonder their approval percentage can't break 30.

Illinois Democrat Bobby Rush don't you have bigger fish to fry?

"We can walk across the street and chew gum at the same time," said the subcommittee chairman, Illinois Democrat Bobby Rush, one of the bill's co-sponsors. "We can do a number of things at the same time."

Really? Bobby, I'd wager you folks can't even do one thing at a time.

"What can we say _ it's December and the BCS is in chaos again," said the bill's sponsor, Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He said the BCS system is unfair and won't change unless prompted by Congress.

Ah, Joe, under what mandate does this issue fall?

The legislation, which goes to the full committee, would make it illegal to promote a national championship game "or make a similar representation," unless it results from a playoff.



Hey Joe and Bobby- ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! IT'S NOT YOUR FUNCTION! How they can do these things with a straight face is worthy of an Oscar nomination.
Tell ya what....
When you can solve the housing problem, the falling dollar, raging unemployment, trillion dollars of debt, the rise of China's military, North Korea's nuke issues, Iran's nuke issues, Russia, oppressive regulations, Medicare/Medicaid fraud and rising energy cost- when you get a handle on all that and prove that you can or have solved them, then I'll listen to your arguments on a football championship.

When you can walk across the street and manage to actually make it to the other side of that street, they worrying about whether to chew gum or not.

Until you can get the things you are supposed to do done correctly, stay out of things you have no business tinkering with.
It's already put this country in the shape it's in now.

Congress- the largest group of 'C' students assembled.

Remember this the next time these dirt merchants go on about CEO salaries, fraud or abuse.

Double digit unemployment. Wage freezes and cuts. Hours cut. Companies downsizing. Low consumer confidence, trillions in debt and weak dollar.

Hey Congress, how about buying your own damn bottled water, doughnuts and flowers. I'm guessing if it were their money, no way they'd run up a $3,000 flower bill, $1,500 bottled water bill or $265 doughnut bill. If this doesn't give you some insight as to why we have a trillion dollar, nothing will. It's play money and if they can't cut back on the little things when their constituents are slicing their budgets, this puts them in a very unique class of hypocrisy.
Hypocrites. Despicable hypocrites. I'm desperately trying to find the humor in this but I can't find anything laughable.

So eat your doughnuts, drink your water and sniff your flowers.
Have a ball.

It's on us.
