Does manicure,hairdressing, shopping time and taking personal phone calls from your kids count, Madam speaker?

Can I touch your gavel?

Borzoi.

LOL.

Where I used to work when time was mentioned I would ask,
"Is that supposed to happen in the company timeframe or real time?

And Ms. Pelosi wants to give amnesty to all illegal immigrants...sure...makes PERFECT sense to me!

Yep, that's it...just like almost everything else in the country..."give them what they want" and dumb down every law known to man...God forbid we offend anyone or hurt their precious self esteem. I want drive to D.C. and walk on the the House floor and ask them exactly how far up their backsides are their heads, because that's the only explanation of how they run things.

And LH...I don't think ANYONE believes that politicians do anything other than what is good for themselves.

Sorry Molly, but I must take exception to that remark.A member of my
family is a local politician who has been reelected for many years because
he enjoys the trust of those who elect him. So you can't say there are NO
honest people in government cause I know better.

I guess I should have qualified that statement...and said...big time politicians...state and federal...and not even so much the state level sometimes...more the federal. Sorry if you took offense...I should have been more clear.

Trouble is tho....the lower ranking and more honest pollies never get to the heights dominated by the old boys club.....it's way too corrupt up at those levels.

No worries, he is right where he wants to be. His work in Indiana is challenge enough.
