Bill Gives Public Workers Clout

[Mike.357]

kind of ironic, I am watching Man vs. Food now, he is about to eat some oyster challenge in New Orleans. he stated that the oysters all come from the gulf coast.

I am guessing he will nto be repeating this challenge there any time soon.

And OT, why should anyone sit in front of the stuffed shirts who supposedly represent our interests? If they Reps actually we interested in fixing things they would be repealing the laws that are preventing states such as LA from doing what they need to do. They would be begging for help from the international community.

All these asshats care about is trying to get reelected. These people are the ones who have allowed this to happend to begin with.

Bunch if ********s trying to place blame when fixing this is what needs to be focused on.

whoa wrong thread

Believe what you want, Mark. Without an escrow acount, the people of the Gulf would have been screwed again. No wait... WE would have been screwed again, because the money would have come out of our pockets.

I heard similiar excuses during the extortion of the tobacco companies a few years back.

All those extorted billions, and pretty much diddly wound up paying for tobacco related illnesses. Lots of cash for state pols to spend on pork, lots of cash for attorneys.

What I believe is that it takes a certain amount of naievete to think that a politician with a bunch of cash available is going to spend it in some manner that doesn't benefit him. The very recent, very concrete example of hundreds of billions in various bailout funds disappearing, getting allocated to non-existent congressional districts, going to instant-startup companies that just happen to have friends in high places... fool you twice, shame on you.
