BTW how is everything in Houston,eveyone allright..?

My slave and I are fine. Power restored, internet restored, hot coffee available in the mornings. "Everyone" is not "all right", as there are still, at last count, several hundred thousand without power.

That being said, Houston is doing a lot better than Galveston, Kemah, and Bolivar Peninsula. No lights and no running water was no fun, but at least my place was still standing. Not everyone was that lucky.

My prayers(for what their worth)are with those in dire straits.

so the question is, will the bailout damage Wall Street or Main Street more? who do the politicians truly represent in this issue?

No, the question is when will the American electorate quit whining about how bad things are, get off its collective lazy ass, and do something about it?

Charlie Reese is wrong to blame a mere 545 politicians. The American voters who put those politicians in office are the ones responsible.

Want to know who is responsible for deficits, Iraq, the bailout, and every other governmental defect? Look in a mirror.

Goddammit!!!

Do I have to do everything?

I was going to cut the grass and clean the garage this weekend but fuckit, I'll take care of the damn bailout.

Nag, nag, nag.

Both parties are bullshit. They don't address the real issues, they play off of peoples morality and personal fears. Abortion, gun control, gay rights, etc...those are personal matters. The government needs to run the country, make and pass sensible budgets, provide for a military that is for defense of our territory, basically lead in a matter befitting the nation we used to be. Ignorance and apathy are destroying our nation, when the evening news is all filler, with no issues discussed, and when we care (collectively) about pop stars and sports than our own country, then frankly we are already teetering on the edge. And frankly that's sad and disheartening to see almost 250 years of freedom and hope for the millions before us forgotten.

So, Rhi is right, 2 terms for any office. Keep lobbyists out of DC. Make the butt-holes spend more time in their home districts, talking to and finding out what their people need. And finally, I say ban both parties and let news ones evolve. That would be a huge breath of fresh air.

there is an alternative! thank god!!!

You know Kittin after a certain point in life one aspires to a mite more than simply dying in the saddle....

From there, we go to Firing all 545 of those currently in Washington office - out of the torpedo tubes of a sub stationed at a depth of no less than 3000ft in the Laurenthian Absymal. This part in and of itself should make any future wannabe political crooks think twice prior to running for office.

I recall that China tried an official, found him guilty and hung him on the day he was sentenced. beyond that I don't recall much in the way of details.

Certainly similar action here in the states would change the tenor of our elected officials.
