Can we just start over?

Here is a question, if Congress passes the automaker bailout (against the wishes of the majority of people, just like the Wall Street bailout), can we vote to vacate their seats and put new people in there? Since we are now on this whole new change kick, let's get some new blood in the legislature. Worst case, if we have to wait (and why should we?), let's vote them all out in next election and start over with some new folks. At this point, I would like to nominate myself to represent Ohio in the Senate.

Is it a problem when the CEO of Ford has an annual salary of $28 million? Also, when the leaders of the big 3 went to Congress to beg for money yesterday, did anyone else here they all arrived on their private luxury jets? I mean, if you are going to beg for money, wouldn't it make more sense from a perception standpoint to show up on a Greyhound? Or at least fly commercial?

Nebraska - not brilliant... and another useless debate.


No, I am not watching another useless debate. Watching tweedledee and tweedledum suck up to the middle class with empty promises and plans that cannot in a million years be funded while "slap fighting" with each other just makes me embarrassed by our electoral process. I find it humorous the passion that seems to be everywhere in this election when the facts indicate that the majority of us don't even vote. I will be glad when this is over and nothing changes. At least at that point the commercials will go back to normal and I won't have to watch neighbors wage their passive aggressive lawn sign wars with each other. It's like if you have the most signs in your lawn then you are the cool one. The truth is the old lawn flamingos are cooler than the election signs. Go get lawn flamingos, go now. And get a lawn gnome. There is my travelocity plug.


Now on to Nebraska. State Senator Ernie Chambers brought a lawsuit against God. That's right, The Almighty. Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for everyone who is sane) the court dismissed the case because God does not have an address and therefore he cannot be served. Chambers has been part of the Nebraska legislature for the last 38 years and is not going for election. This guy is clearly an idiot. Perhaps he was not hugged enough as a child (or maybe hugged too much?), who knows. What does this say about the people of Nebraska? They elected him for 38 years. That goes past ignorance, that is just plain stupid. Way to go over there.
