I think the fact that the politicians are all still being paid says something.

But seriously, when they get paid more for one "speaking engagement" than their annual salary, do you think they worry about that?

and that is the above board stuff.

They don’t worry about much and that is the problem.

I spent nearly 3 hours in a dentist chair yesterday getting ready for a crown. Last month I had 3 fillings done. So in two months I've spent near $3k on dental work. Enough of the 3's already.

my wife is putting up our Christmas tree today, and the cat is loving it, the two of them are quite busy when it comes to putting up the tree and decorating it.

I can't do any decorating until after the cleaning woman finishes on Tuesday.
