The Senate may have proved to be so great at fishing this week I think we should move them to ESPN or at least the Outdoor Network.
The House is debating the economic bailout today and they are optimistic they will pass the $700 billion bailout (oh yea, and the other $110 billion in pork additives to buy their votes). Did I say that?
Come on; let’s just go over the facts.
1. The Bailout gets shot down in the House. They don’t like it; they think it is a bad way to help. It falls 13 votes short of passing.
2. Senate decides to take a shot. They add some pork to help sway those that didn’t vote for the bailout. Is this not bribery? “Hey, I know you think the bailout is a bad idea, but what if I throw in some stuff – completely unrelated – that you want?”
3. House Approves the Bailout, the President signs it.
Now the House all of a sudden “feels good” about the bailout?
Rep. John Boehner, the House Leader, said “Is it perfect? No. But its clearly better than it was a week ago,” “I’m optimistic about today.”

I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~ Godfather
Maybe Sarah Palin can tackle congressional corruption after she gets rid of corruption on wallstreet. That lady is going to be a Wonder Woman.
You mean the same Sarah Palin that is trying to block investigation about her possibly forcing her brother-in-law to be fired? The same Sarah Palin that felt it was perfectly acceptable for rape victims to have to pay for the testing to prove their rape? THAT Sarah Palin?
I pray to God/dess that mcbush and sarah do NOT get in office.
Now to update the post itself…….
It passed!!! The House passed it and word is the bush in that white house over there will sign it.
Love how they call it “modified” instead of the rape of the American Taxpayer.
I can’t get over the wooden arrows and rum tax cuts………..that just blows me away.
