Quote for the Week (Heads Up, George!)




"A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own."

H.G. Wells

1. I've frequently thought that malfeasance of government
employees should be a criminal offence.

If our Congress faced imprisonment for poor decisionmaking....they might read the damn bills before they voted on them.

3. and let them take drug tests,
and explain why they have DUIs, or can't seem to keep from writing bad checks. Then, make them take the same health care plan we all have. Then we'll see how many want to spend 4 million dollars to get a job that pays 165K a year.
