WASHINGTON - Two-thirds of Congress' most vulnerable members — Republicans and Democrats alike — chose to protect their seats on Election Day rather than follow their party leaders and vote for an unpopular economic bailout plan.

Translation: if they weren't up for re-election, they would have voted for the Bail Out. Makes you wonder what else they do to get re-elected...

Election Day is Sucker Day because that's what the DemoRepos think the American voters are----suckers for a snappy campaign slogan like "Change you can believe in" and "Country first".

Did anyone see it a couple of days ago? The police thought a murder suspect was holed up in a house in Woodbridge, VA. So they surrounded the house and put two nearby schools on lock-down. Then the parents of the locked-down students were upset because their children were locked down during this police situation.

Help me understand this. There's a murder suspect in a house. The police have the house surrounded. And the parents are upset because their children are kept in the school away from any potential danger. Would they have been happier if school was let out so their children could walk into the middle of the police situation?

Sheesh! 

So fellow bloggers, what would happen to you if you failed to declare $75,000 of income to the IRS and, therefore, failed to pay income tax on it?

If you're Average Joe or Jane American, the IRS will threaten to throw you in jail unless you pay up ASAP. 

If you are the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, nothing happens to you.....at all.

So the next time any politician, Democrat or Republican, tells you "I know exactly how you feel. But my opponent doesn't" Don't believe them. The double standard between the Politicians and the Regular Folk exists. They live in a world of privileges and perks many of us can only imagine and they want to keep it that way.

This is why I can't figure out why Obama would pick a nitwit like Joe Biden, for his running mate:

"The Delaware senator was responding to an audience member at a town hall meeting in Nashua, N.H., who criticized Clinton and said it’s a good thing Obama chose Biden over her.

“Make no mistake about this, Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Lets get that straight,” Biden said in Clinton’s defense.

“She’s easily qualified to be vice president … and quite frankly, might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate. I mean that sincerely. She is first rate. So let’s get that straight,” he said."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So, Biden is saying that Obama picked second-best

Like the title of my blog says "Way to go, Joe!" Ya did a nice job of inspiring confidence in your ticket by saying Obama could have picked someone better than you. Wow---it really makes me want to run out and buy an Obama-Biden bumper sticker and slap it on my car! It really makes me want to vote for a guy who didn't make the best pick, but the second best pick. You certainly have given new meaning to the idea that the VP is the #2 guy!

Good going, Joe. I bet once your running mate hears this gaffe he wishes he did choose the best---Hillary---rather than you. I bet the McCain campaign will have a field day with this. Great way to torpedo your own ticket!

Senator Biden's son, Beau, will be deployed to Iraq in October 2008. Beau Biden is the Attorney General for the state of Delaware and is a JAG captain in the Delaware National Guard.

The timing of his deployment it makes me wonder.... Mr. Biden is being deployed to Iraq during an election year, when the violence has more or less stabilized. Whether Senator Biden was picked for the VP spot is irrelevant, because he was also running for his seventh Senate term this year.

I realize that the military decides who and when and where a soldier is deployed. For example, in 2004 the Army deployed Anthony Brown who was serving as a Delegate in the Maryland General Assembly. 2004 was a very unstable time in Iraq. Yet the military choose to deploy Mr. Brown, an elected official (like Mr. Biden), a lawyer (like Mr. Biden) and a father of young children (like Mr. Biden.)  Mr. Brown  is currently serving as the Lt. Governor of Maryland. However, unlike Mr. Biden, Mr. Brown's father isn't a United States Senator.

Is this a case of Daddy pulling strings? Or is this a  total coincidence?

What do you think?

By the way, there have been cases in history where influential fathers have kept their sons out of the war zone (George W. Bush's service during Viet Nam) and where influential fathers have put their sons in the war zone (Rudyard Kipling and his son Jack)

To the murderer(s) of the 8 month old baby in Suitland last night:

I hope they catch you. And I hope throw you into the PG County Jail because if they murder cop-killers there, you can bet a baby murderer won't be treated any better.

Demo ticket: Obama and Biden

Repo ticket: McCain and Palin

ROTFLMAO!

Both tickets have two Washington insiders.

Both tickets have inexperienced political newbies.

Both tickets are blatantly pandering to minorities and women.

And both tickets want us to actually take them seriously.

The Demo and Repo Parties have effectively committed suicide this election.

The DemoRepos are dead! Long live the Independents!

So last night on the news, I saw the story about a YMCA teacher grabbing an unruly 2 year old, sitting him into a chair and slapping him. The case was brought to the Grand Jury and basically dismissed due to lack of evidence. The State Attorney General said if there's more evidence of abuse, they will re open the case.

Ummmm...there was videotape of the incident! What more "evidence" do they want, a bruised covered child beaten to unconsciousness hooked up to machines in a hospital?

At the start of the primaries, Senator Biden was starkly criticized and labelled a "bigot" and/or "racist" when he called Senator Obama " "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."

I recall the furor that comment set off in the blogs and elsewhere. Biden was (rightfully, in my opinion) weeded out of Presidential consideration----our country is devisive enough and we don't need a candidate like that. 

It's one and a half years later, Biden is now VP material.

Now that's "change"; however, it's not the kind of change I think this country needs nor is Senator Biden a politician we should "believe in". His bigotry isn't something to be ignored, especially if he's in the Number 2 spot.

The Democratic base will no doubt support this ticket wholeheartedly, but independents, like me, will see it as DC political "business as usual."  

What do you all think about the FDA's plan to irradiate lettuce and spinach in the hopes of killing bacteria?

Anyone concerned about potential health problems with this?

Anyone happy they plant their own veggies?

PG County is a great place! I mean, where else can you murder 8 people while you participate in an illegal street race and still be granted bond? Gosh, they have a terrific criminal justice system.  I'm sure all the criminals just love it there!
