Not how do we address joblessness…
Why? One reason is
If you’re in Congress unemployment isn’t the problem, the price of the stock market is your problem.
Things are just great within the Beltway. But not so much in the real Amerika that gives our national Congress a 14% approval rating.
There’s a real disconnect here.
In the hinterlands. Imagine the economic boost 535 senators, representatives, plus their staffs and an army of lobbyists could bring to, say, Denver.
Or, maybe, to avoid jealousy, there should be a lottery among the biggest cities in each of the 50 states. Loser gets to host Congress this year.
Meet for a week in each of the 50 states, with two weeks off for good behavior.
a Congressional traveling circus would be a helluva mess with too many constituents actually seeing what little is done.
It would help to give them an earful — which isn’t really what they want. Hell Paul Ryan & Rand Paul now charging their constituents to talk to them. Somehow that has to be illegal … dunno the rules but it sure smells shitty to me.
contribute to the economy, too.
Liquor stores pay taxes (except for Daveco Liquors), but most earnings from prostitutes I would assume are “off the books”.
That’s what keeps the economy moving. People with money to spend. The more the merrier.
funny example of Ohio’s priorities from gawker.com:
There’s no amount of money worth having that gaggle of fools traipsing around here. It’s bad enough when our own Washington representatives show up here from time to time to fund raise and palaver.
What should it profit a
manState to gain the whole world and lose its soul?Leave the asylum and the inmates in DC!
It would make it easier to tar and feather them if they were closer physically to us.
Marcia Pinkstaff Has Dog ‘Totaled’ After Hit By Minivan In Crosswalk
She posted a diary yesterday. And she did come back to answer 3 comments.
But then she then got responses to those asking for specific details, and more comments asking for her answer. And she disappeared. Not impressive…
Not all of us live and breath pols. Give her a break. I for one am happy for her candidacy and wish her all the best.
In other news, the two Democrats won in WI yesterday. Doesn’t SOMEONE owe me $50?
You know, the one who kept going on about how the Dems were going to lose one of their seats yesterday?
The whole point of her diary is that vouchers are bad and her opponent is a tool of pro-voucher forces.
Then a commenter noted that Sirota’s opponent expressly opposes vouchers. That’s one of the comments Sirota didn’t respond to. I also commented on her opponent’s oppo to vouchers on Sirota’s identical SquareState post – no response to that, either, so it’s not just that Sirota got sick of us.
Sirota is a flat-out liar and fearmonger. She’s basically Karl Rove.
go back and take a look if you want. From the trolling and the style of writing it looks quite like the McBride/Merida/Green trio at it again.
They never miss an opportunity to embarrass themselves or anyone they’re involved with.
You did notice that “a commenter” registered just to post one comment about a phone call with no evidence to support the assertion, right? Our standards for documentation are low here, but they’re not THAT low.
Here’s how Michele Bachmann weighed in yesterday:
Of course, Elvis died on August 16, 1977. His birthday is January 8. Maybe she SHOULD work with a teleprompter?
sighted hawking corndogs at the Iowa State Fair?

This one is Rick Perry
for some great pictures!
and fell on her bus… or something.
😉
Bachmann will no doubt wish JFK a happy birthday on November 22.
as she doesn’t do a Marilyn Monroe impersonation.
… is the desperation shown by Republicans to make Obama seem like an incompetent gaffe machine, when Republicans have long used teleprompters and long made numerous gaffes. Obama’s “57 states” comment can at least be explained by context (it was clear he was including non-state territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa in that discussion); but how do you explain mistaking someone’s death-day for their birthday, or mistaking John Wayne for John Wayne Gacy?
is the gaffes themselves.
I don’t really care much about who makes them, except that Michelle Bachmann is about as stupid as they come.
You go, Michelle.
usually the first thing that will come up is the Wikipedia article, often with the first few words of it without any context?
Bachmann’s team thinks Google is too liberal and have replaced it with Conservagle, the results of which are made up on the spot by other Bachmann supporters. It’s faster.
I have never seen Conservagle.
I guess I don’t click on the right Google hits.

Her pretentious yet multiply ungrammatical first sentence:
That’s right, folks – we have an illiterate co-running our schools.
Can she be invited to attend one of the fourth-grade classes in the system she’s trying to run into the ground?
God.
No wonder DPS is in such dire straits–we have illiterate hacks on the Board.
Moly. She used a singular verb when she should have used a plural one! On a blog! That totally makes her an illiterate hack! The same way Sirota’s vague generalities make her Colorado’s Karl Rove! This will be the most hyperbole-free election ever!
1) Sirota flat-out lying in claiming her opponent supports vouchers is serious. When you falsely say your opponent supports something unpopular, analogy to Rove is fair.
2) Merida co-runs a major school district, and that sentence has two serious grammatical errors. She made the Bush “is our children” learning error — but Bush said that orally, where it’s easier to make errors, while this was the first sentence of a writing Merida clearly spent a lot of time on (note the length, detail, and number of links). She also made another major grammatical error with, “As adults, some of the best ways…”: “ways” aren’t “adults.”
One of them is Karl Rove, the other is an illiterate hack.

in Wisconsin yesterday. I bet BJ is mighty glad he didn’t take me up on my bet.
to 2 Rs, narrowing the R majority to one seat, from 19 to 14 to 17 to 16. Not all Dems had hoped for but hardly shows what Rs were claiming after they lost two out of six recalls; an endorsement of their policies. On the contrary, recalls are tall orders and winning a third of them says something.
In contrast Rs couldn’t find one single district in which the majority agreed that their Dems who drew out the protests, bringing national attention for weeks to what otherwise would have been a minor news blip by their dramatic flight, ought to be punished. I’m sure the GO(T)P and Koch brothers, tried their best.

From MADCO’s link:
‘Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune agrees.
“In short, no, he will never be president of the United States and no, he is not a plausible contender for the GOP nomination, so those who are covering the campaign don’t feel obliged to pretend otherwise,” Zorn writes.’
every move non-candidate, not a snowball’s chance in hell Sarah Palin makes.
