Congressman Schools Reporter on How the More Debt You Have, the Wealthier You Are

This is funny (and obviously old). Some highlights of what Rep. Stark says:
"I will say this slowly"
"If you would shut up for a minute"
"You are making a lot of stupid statements, Jan"
"It's probably why you never graduated from a very good college, Jan (this was after the reported stated he didn't understand why, if debt makes you wealthier, increase the debt another trillion)
and the best
"get the f*ck out of here before I throw you out the window".


Politicians are funny. And by funny, I mean dumb.

Stupid on a Stick

California Assemblyman Michael Duvall, Orange County is caught on a hot mic speaking about spanking and other sexual conquest. Oh...and all parties are married.

What an idiot.

Here's the part not on the video. Sounds like something out of Maxim.

"She wears little eye-patch underwear," said Duvall, who is married with two children. "So, the other day she came here with her underwear, Thursday. And
 so, we had made love Wednesday--a lot! And so she'll, she's all, 'I am going 
up and down the stairs, and you're dripping out of me!' So messy!""So, I am getting into spanking her. Yeah, I like it. I like spanking her. She goes, 'I know you like spanking me.' I said, 'Yeah! Because you're such a bad girl!'"

UPDATE: Duvall has resigned. That was fast. No public apology with the wife standing next to you?

Worst Economy Since the Great Depression

I thought we were in the worst economy since the Great Depression...and that indulging in private plans was for evil people.

So why is the House planning to spend $550M on a fleet of Gulfstream and Boeing planes. So is it good or bad to buy private planes?

Looks like the Senate may try and stop them. But I bet dollars to donuts, the deal goes through.

It's not stalking if you like someone Barry, Barry much

Marion Barry has expanded his resume of crime to include stalking. Smoking crack and evading taxes no longer have the thrill they once did.

According to the article, Barry says it was consensual. How is stalking consensual? Did they agree ahead of time he would hide out in her bushes and follow her around town and she agreed to be creeped out by it?

Who is he forgetting?

Political scandals of past...but there may be someone missing. Who is missing from the list? It's on the tip of my tongue....Jill? Phil? Gill? John-ill?

awww...shoot. It's like one of those mind bender games. Only hard. Really, really hard.

It's not corruption if your helping people...and I am people too

This guy has the right stuff. Massachusetts House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi says the state law allows him to receive kick backs for rigging a multi-million-dollar state contract and he has done nothing illegal.

You know what else is legal? Capping judges knee caps, that's what! It's right there in the state constitution.

Besides...what's he doing in Massachusetts when there is $700B in stimulus money to be spent? Send this guy to D.C.

I'm the webmaster for www.bitmebozemancity.com..am i hired?

This town in Montana requires all applicants to list the websites, forums, Facebook, MySpace, etc. that the applicant visits.... AND their ID's/passwords.

Are you kidding me? Apparently, city attorney Greg Sullivan doesn't know how to use Google like the other 498,548,912 employers who Google their applicants name to see what kind of mischief they have done online.

Mr. Sullivan said that no applicant has has ever removed his or her name from consideration for a job due to the request.

Those are some really bright people there in the city of Bozeman. This must be why you can see Bozeman from Mars. I know this because the aliens told me....BUT now I know why. Mystery solved.

This is why I am the mysterious Rambling Rants.

Councilwoman reminds police who approves their salaries

..while they arrest her on DUI charges.

And her apology? She says she, "stayed out of trouble for my first 33 years living in Glastonbury up to now". Does this mean her next 33 years will be filled with fun and adventure?

Politicians are funny. And by funny, I mean stupid.
