Some Congressmen are grumbling about the lousy $174,000 they
make a year, plus pensions plus benefits.
One Congressman complained he had to give up his family life and work
long and hard hours for the "lousy" paycheck.
COMMENTS:
Given a national economy that is in the toilet, given the
fact that they could not reach a responsible debt solution, given the fact that
they know what the pay is before they run for office and given the fact that
84% of the country thinks they are doing a totally rotten job, we should feel
sorry for them? WHO IN THE SAM HELL DO
THEY THINK THEY ARE? BARACK OBAMA?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Colin Powell came out and unmercifully castigated Dick
Cheney. What are your thoughts? (York ~ Denver, CO)
A. Dick Cheney is about to publish a book that contains
references to Powell’s inability or unwillingness to do his job correctly. A few years ago, I supported Powell as a
potential Presidential candidate, but his liberal leanings eventually convinced
me that he should never be President.
While I believe that any leader should always have someone in his stable
who takes opposing views in order to provide balance in thought and action,
Powell went beyond that description. I’ll
stand by Cheney on this one.
Q. About this flap over the Lockerbie airline bomber and
Scotland, what are your feelings?
(Terrie ~ Los Angeles, CA)
A. Had the so-called cancer and death bed scenario been legitimate
and had Great Britain and the U.S. been consulted, a last-minute release could
have been appropriate from a humanitarian standpoint. Scotland released him because they wanted
Libyan oil. In my opinion, Scotland
supported terrorism and should be dealt with accordingly on an international
basis, and I do not mean 50 lashes with a wet noodle.
Q. Was there something about Chinese miners being trapped
and killed? (Clo ~ Newark, CA)
A. Well, 22 miners were trapped in a flooded pit for about a
week. Evidently, four died. Isn’t it amazing how little news about the
world we actually get?
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Avoid having your ego so close to your
position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.” ~ Colin Powell
