Two years ago to the millisecond, Larry Craig’s restroom sumo stance and Mark Foley’s nasty messaging to pages became nonstop news, costing us congress.

When Senators see this bill as an opportunity to increase federal expenditures rather than tighten the belt, it really starts making me skeptical about how bad it really is.

It must be at least a little bad, but if it was really bad, if the ship was really going down, would Senators really place the priority on enriching themselves at the time of their country’s greatest need?

Strike that, dumb question on my part; it is really saddening to know that even in the face of hardship that’s expected to affect the majority of the people, that the Senate is more caught up in enriching themselves than in taking care of the problem. Time for Republicans and Democrats alike to start getting more active in their primary process, so that we can clean out some of these inadequate incumbents when they run for their respective party’s nominations.

It's a money bill: it HAS to start in the House.</p> No one has yet explained to me how the Senate can be acting on this now. It’s a money bill: it HAS to start in the House.

My eyes are already rolling because the FIG came out with their ruling that the Chinese girl gymnasts were all of legal age to compete.

I can now see behind myself!!

Good gosh - you just can't keep a pig outta the sh*t, can you? Lipstick or not - this bailout still smells like sh*t!!!!! This says something about the arrogance of our Congress ... here they are under the scrutiny of the entire nation (huge assumption I know..) and they're still robbing the bank and pandering to their special interest! If we let them get away with this by NOT voting every one of them out - we deserve what we get.</p> Earmarks! Good gosh – you just can’t keep a pig outta the sh*t, can you?
