Pretty cushy gig, and often on rails. They are 'some-body', get all sorts of perks, and if something doesn't get done, there are any number of things and people to blame that on. Just bring the bacon home to the district and kiss hands and shake babies, unless things are too hostile back home, when you 'regret that pressing matters of office' detain you elsewhere--on a junket wherever the climate (political or weather) is nicer...on the taxpayer's dime, of course.

Whatta racket!

OH yeah!!  Things like preparing a budget for instance!  How difficult is it to do a budget when all you have to do is take what was spent last year, add 8% and move on!  And if you get REALLY serious make the increase 4% instead of 8% and call that  HUGE budget cut!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Well, let's see....

Democrat Math:

You propose a 12% increase in the budget. You get hammered down to a 4% increase. The newspapers come out and the proposed budget has been slashed by 66%!

And you thought Common Core was a mess. We'd never have 'put a flag on Mars' without Democrat Math.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's how it works but unfortunately it isn't just democrat math!  It is inside the beltway Washington math and speak! Nowhere else in the world do they speak that language!

Yeah, and unemployment is 5%.

How about we pass a Realville Law and cut out all this horse sh*t they try to feed us from Washington?

Never happen.  They have to protect their phoney baloney jobs.

A white blonde woman kneeling in front of a bunch of black dudes? I think I've seen that movie before back in college.

Well.... at least she's not kneeling on the floor...lol.  She's quite the classless twit, isn't she.

My unnamed sources tell me that the exact cost of the war on the media is $4.38. That total does not include local and federal taxes.

Thank goodness for you, Frank.  You always have a perfect perspective.

Maybe, but I somehow doubt that total includes the donuts.

It's a BYO donut war. It helps keep the costs down with people like Christie Creme on the scene.

MmmmKay. Yeah. I could see how that would bust the budget. (Feed him meatloaf!)

Christie has shut down planned parenthood clinics, probably one can say he's saved babies unlike what some so-called conservatives have done. True conservatives appreciate this.

Okay, enough of that.  I like her.  And she's certainly not kneeling.  She is in the background taking pictures and she's perched casually on the couch.

Don't you people have something else to do.
