What is it about the citizens of the District of Columbia that causes them to elect people like E H Norton or Marion "the bitch set me up" Barry to represent them over and over again. Maybe their proximity to the looted money machine of DC.
Cheers
True story - when my enlistment ended in the USAF (I was stationed at Andrews - close enough to DC to call it part of), they gave me the money for the flight home. I checked - it was going to be a minimum of 9 hours before I could catch the first flight home out of National. Dulles was the next day at the soonest, and taxi fare or the bus (ick) to BWI was too far.. I then checked Greyhound - the bus left in 90 minutes, and the station was 10 minutes away.
Of course... it was bumpy, uncomfortable, and the food sucked... but that 3 day bus ride was WELL worth it to get the you-know-where out of that cesspool. :-) Plus I got to stop on the way - fell in love with Memphis, and San Antonio, and well... yeah!
Every time I had to go there afterwards, it was always - ALWAYS - get in, do whatever, and get out. That place gave me the creeps, and gave me this feeling of, I don't know, feeling scummy and dirty. As soon as I landed. Yuck!
Cheers
It's funny she mentions separations of powers. Why do we that if Congress just gives its power away?
For them, it's like hitting the lotto. Only they get to stuff it in your face every chance they get, which is part of it - See what I get that YOU don't.
I see no other alternative. I even wrote emails to Senator Jeff Flake and Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick about this strategy among other issues. Of course, they didn't address that. They did address the other issues in Brave New World words (Politico Speech). I going to a August Job Fair in Flagstaff where Kirkpatrick will speak and try to confront her, besides looking for a job.
The problem comes from an irrational sense that changes we favor will be irrevocable. Liberals who are cheering on this President for Executive overreach will be screaming for impeachment of a conservative President who exercises the same imperial power, but by then it may be too late to reverse course, and we'll all be equally screwed.
I say she is a dinosaur because the demographics have been swinging widely the last eight years. More families are moving into DC, while the black population is plummeting. In the eighties, the black population was in the low 90% range. Today, it barely reaches 50%. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/...
Want a 1-bedroom apartment in Herndon or in the highly preferred area called Burke? Ok, that's $1850 a month. Don't like that? Want to move somewhere cheaper? Sorry, we support importing poverty, oops, I mean Section 8. If you 'make too much' based on our opinion, you'll have to cough up the $$...what are you trying to do, save money??
Yep, life in STL is much better.
Even thinking back to those days makes my skin crawl.
Thank goodness we had him to warn us not to all gather on one side, huh?
"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."
"You didn't build that."
"We need to pass the bill so we can see what's in it."
"Never let a crisis go to waste."
"I have a pen, and I have a cell phone."
Exactly! What is transparent is their idiotic ideology.

Who put the shrug, in the shrug-e-duggy dug?
Who put the guts in a world that's kinda nuts?
Who is John Galt?
He's the one who, by default,
Makes looters fear and libtards run away.
