You Eat What?

Here's a list of politicians who will never get my vote for any future election for any office. Why? Because they all voted for H.R. 1424, affectionately known as the "$700 Billion Bailout." Earlier this week, House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, accurately called this bill a "crap sandwich."

If you read that list carefully, you'll see a name I mentioned before the list - Republican Representative of Ohio, John Boehner. Evidently Representative Boehner developed a taste for fecal matter during the week. What a disgusting display of politics. At this point I'd normally go on a rant talking about how dumb it is to say that our economy is in trouble because people have been borrowing too much money, so we need to tax them more so that they can borrow more money. Or I'd rant about how this is a larger scale equivalent to me cashing out my savings, going to Vegas and blowing it all on craps, and then getting bailed out by the government, despite the fact that I took a really stupid risk. But I'm not going to go into any rants. I just have one question. If you eat a crap sandwich, will you poop whole food?
