    I''d be happier than a pig eatin' poop, if the President gave me a $900 per month pay raise. But of course if that ever happened, then Medicare would go up to $895 per month!

    The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
    To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
    Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
    Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

    A 'funny' set of news reports today.

    One politician telling the other to eff off......As if they did it politely?

    I guess he forgot he was dealing with politicians.

    ------------

    Chris Christie complaining about the hurricane Sandy relief and how he was promised help from the fed government - I guess he forgot he was dealing with politicians.

    --------

    And CBS closed the evening news with a story about a man who had spent 18k given to him by FEMA to fix his house.
    He was in danger of losing the home because he ran out of money....but, right after the storm he spoke to the pres and CC and they promised him help to get back on his feet....

    I guess he forgot he was dealing with politicians?

    THe number of bills proposed that actually get anywhere is a tiny fraction of the total introduced.

    Being that there's no groundswell for a Constitutional amendment to repeal term limitations, rather there is a large opinion in favor of term limitations on more offices, this dog ain't getting off the porch.
