Censure...other than being set up as the 'donkey' in a game of 'pin-the-tail-on', is a pretty big joke. Rangel loses his availability to be a committee chairman (but the last election means there are no DUMB&DUMBERats serving as committee chairpersons). and he had to be present while his friends 'roasted' him (heck , that used to be a Dean Martin television event). Hopefully, the IRS will not be so accommodating.

L-E story: "Romell Broom’s execution last year was stopped by Gov. Ted Strickland after an execution team tried for two hours to find a suitable vein. Broom has said he was stuck with needles at least 18 times, with pain so intense that he cried and screamed. * He was sentenced to die for the 1984 rape and slaying of 14-year-old Tryna Middleton after abducting her in Cleveland as she walked home from a Friday night football game with two friends." -- Talk about poetic justice> This guy has felt the pain of someone sticking things into him, and now he will still be executed. Soon is not too soon.

L-E headline story: " Congress votes to stifle loud TV commercials * Under the legislation, now heading to President Barack Obama for his signature, the Federal Communications Commission would be required within one year to adopt industry standards that coordinate ad decibel levels to those of the regular program." -- Now potUS Imam-a listens to the American people!

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department has received another $1.8 billion in net proceeds from the sale of additional stock in General Motors. * Treasury said the revenue received Thursday brought the total the government has earned from an initial public offering of General Motors stock to $13.5 billion." -- $13.5 Billion want even cover the 'earmarks' of a normal Congress year.

Let's face it; Congress's decision regarding 'the Bush tax cuts' is simply a matter of taking the current tax rates, and either keeping them or increasing them. potUS Imam-a's name will be on the tax incease.

If we had more car dealers than lawyers in Congress, the economy could take a positive lurch forward. Just think how much a boost the economy would receive if Congress eliminated state sales taxes on cars, and how much would come in if lawyers had to charge sales taxes on all their fees...
