Late To The Party…
I heard two stories on the radio on my way to work today, and felt I needed to comment. But it appears Doug has beat me to it, with posts at 6:13 AM and 7:26 AM. That jerk…
First, see his coverage of the Katrina-relief fraud. Of course, I expect some fraud when you’re doling out money, as money attracts thieves. But 1.4 BILLION dollars?!?!
But that’s okay, I’m sure all these folks will be convicted and prosecuted for fraud. [pinches self] Oh, wait… Nevermind.
In other news of people who deserve to be convicted and prosecuted for fraud, how about our esteemed Congress? They’ve given us boatloads of promises of “fiscal responsibility”, and I haven’t seen much of that. And now, they’ve decided they’re doing such a good job, they deserve a raise! I guess the previous salary of $165,000 a year wasn’t quite high enough to cover their “worth”. I sure wish I could set my own salary like they do…
