Democrats are the majority party in Congress.  This means that if they want something to pass, all they need to do is vote for it.  Nancy Pelosi says that the Republicans are to blame for the bailout failure, because only one third of them voted to approve it.  Yet she only needed a few more votes for it to pass and nearly 100 Democrats voted against this package.  Sorry Nancy, this does not pass the common sense rule.  To top it off, she is the one that called for a vote knowing full well that they were short of the votes needed.  All morning and early afternoon the press said that they didn't have the votes. 

Barney Frank (the second coming of Elmer Fudd - has anybody listened to the way he talks?), Harry Reid and Pelosi have had their own agenda on this since the start.  First Reid says that the Democrats won't vote for anything unless McCain shows up to vote, then McCain calls his bluff and puts Country First to try and make sure that if something is done it gets done right, at which point Reid says don't come we don't need you.  The reason was they were trying to position Obama as the savior and leader.  Even during the big meeting at the White House, the other Democrats deferred to Obama so that he could show his leadership and take charge.  The Democratic leadership was appalled when he failed to do so.  Obama ready to lead?  There isn't one Democratic leader that thinks he is. 

Do We Really Have To Pay For These Morons?

My heart and prayers go out to all those that were impacted by Hurricane Ike.  I couldn’t believe it when the Weather Service put out the warning of imminent death to be caused from this storm; because it was only the second time they had done that.  People evacuated the areas that were predicted to be hit hardest around Galveston, Texas.  Many left in their own vehicles, but many others were bussed out by hundreds of buses that were provided to help those that needed it.  Many of the buses that left were far too empty.  The reason, thousands of morons who decided to wait out the storm and remain in harms way.  Now we’ve had to rescue some of these people, because they became stranded or hurt.  Hats off to the tremendous and courageous job of the rescuers working in the Galveston area.  But, it is costing us money and time to have to go in to an area where everybody was told to leave, an area that was predicted to have certain death from this storm just so we can rescue these morons.  Since I can be charged for riding in an ambulance to the hospital if I am injured in a car accident, we need to find a way to charge these people a special moron fee.

Lindsay Lohan Backs Obama

I’m sure this is just what every candidate wants.  One of Hollywood’s biggest skanks and an obvious role model for binge drinking cocaine fiends everywhere has come out in support of Obama.  Even when a star has a good reputation, most candidates have seen a negative backlash caused by these types of announcements.  Maybe it’s because so many of them do it in a very self-important way such as announcing that they will leave the country if their candidate is not chosen.  Maybe it’s just that they come off so negatively or so venomously attacking the other candidate or those that would vote for them.  Either way its proof that these morons need to stick to what they do best, which is to read lines that were written for them.  Hey that’s a lot like Obama.  Maybe Lindsay thinks that Obama would be her type of President.  You know the kind that shows up late and unprepared for work after an all night drinking and drug fest.

Pelosi Needs To Relieve Rangel

Democratic Representative Charles Rangel is the chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.  Currently Mr. Rangel has some ethics problems due to unreported income and unpaid taxes.  This man is the head of the committee that helps write the tax code and laws of this country and he doesn’t understand that he too has to pay taxes.  This man needs to be removed now.  It’s like leaving the fox in charge of watching the chickens.  Pelosi, what the hell are you waiting for.

We should be happy when Congress feels that it can ignore the economy, health care, social security and other subjects that us mere mortals are apparently concerned with for no reason.  But the events that congress was involved in last week leave me scratching my head. 

The biggest item from Congress making news this week were Congressional Hearings involving Roger Clemens, one of baseball's best and most dominant pitchers of the last twenty years, and whether he told the truth regarding his taking illegal, performance enhancing drugs.  Baseball is, we are told, America's Pastime, and I for one am a big baseball fan.  Like many fans I am greatly disappointed at the number of players using steroids and human growth hormone (HGH).  These players are cheaters.  This era will forever be known as the steroids era, and we will always wonder whether the records that have been broken during this era are legitimate or not.  Most of the players that have their names even remotely associated with steroids or HGH will never make it into the Hall of Fame.  Baseball needs to get their house in order and get the drugs out of the game.  Thank goodness Congress doesn't have any important work to do at this time so that they can waste their time and our money on something of such national importance.  If they feel the need to stick their nose into this then they ought to go after the real problem and nail the owners, commissioner and the players union for knowingly allowing this to go on as long as it did.  I find it darkly comical but not funny that politicians, who most people feel are liars, are trying to determine who is truthful and calling others liars. 

Apparently Major League Baseball is not the only sport that Congress feels they need to spend more time investigating.  The NFL, and particularly Bill Belichek and his New England Patriots are being accused of cheating by video taping opponents signals and practices.  Congressmen spent time asking Commissioner Roger Goodell about why the NFL allowed the destruction of tapes that were evidence of the cheating. 

Finally, congress is playing games themselves.  Nancy Pelosi is playing with our national security by refusing to take action on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which expired this weekend.  It's great to see the Republicans stand up to Pelosi as she tries to be the bully and get her way.  This game is the scariest of all and if it continues we will all lose.

Congress needs to stop playing in areas that they have no business interfering in and they need to get to work on what is important.
