Earmarks and the Pelosi Politburo

I hit the ceiling again tonight. Our tax dollars are being wasted, we all know that but there is a Congressman from Pennsylvania that really takes the cake. Earmarks again! Those little multi-million dollar gifts the idiots in Washington give each other. This guy Paul Kanjorski had a huge office building put up in his home town. What did they call it? You guessed it…The Kanjorski Center! One problem, the only client moved out and it is now standing empty costing the city of Nanticoke money just to keep it up. Well re enter good old Congressman Kanjorski who wants to build a parking garage for the building so a community college might move in. One slight problem though, the Feds won’t allow a parking building to be built with earmarks unless it’s for a mass transit system. That really got ole Paul mad. As he was being interviewed, Congressman Paul said the rule was stupid and shouldn’t apply to him since Congress had its own rules and he should be able to use it to build the garage. From what I could gather, the city doesn’t want it either, but good ole Paul said who could turn down free money! FREE MONEY! MY MONEY! This is how these “leaders” in Congress think. The interviewer was even stunned and brought up the fact it wasn’t free money. Kanjorski finally admitted it was taxpayer money, but the city didn’t have to fork it out. Oh man, I thought Louisiana cornered the market on stupid, crooked politicians…

Oh and if you’re tired of $4 a gallon gas, don’t worry. It’ll be going up soon. It seems a group of Republicans and Democrats got together without lobbyists or their respective party’s leaders and hammered out a bi partisan energy bill that allows off shore drilling and money for alternate energy sources. WOW! Republicans and Democrats sitting down together and getting something done, and it’s about time. What happened? Not a damn thing. Nancy Pelosi is in charge of the Politburo and will not allow a vote so the messiah Barak Obama wouldn’t have to vote against it. That would look bad, don’t you know. Well the Republicans pushed it today and Pelosi responded. She cut out the lights and turned off the microphones. We need our 5 week vacation! We don’t care you can’t afford anything anymore because it’s all going into the gas tank! Don’t get me wrong, the Republicans stayed around and debated among themselves after Pelosi closed the session and turned out the lights, and that was a little childish. But come on Pelosi! Mom and Pop America are hurting and you people on the Hill could give a DAMN! I heard Glen Beck on the radio the other day and I love his motto. Pitchforks and Torches. Defending America since 1786! Write your Congressman and Senator while they are on their 5 week vacation and tell them to get off their butts and do something. ANYTHING! This congress is the laziest and worst in history. And we Americans are standing around and letting the lunacy continue. Let them hear about it.
