Speaker of the House Starts Blogging
Bjimba writes "Denny Hastert, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, has just started his own blog on the official speaker.gov site. I don't know if he'll keep up with it, but from reading his initial post, it seems clear that he's not employing ghostbloggers."
Could you please answer a few questions for me?
I've heard that you have taken campaign contributions from individuals who, upon investigation, turned out to be Turkish nationals, and upon further investigation, it turns out that they had ties to terrorism. What is your involvement with these individuals, and why haven't you returned the money? Are you a supporter of international terrorism? Given the sharp increase in terrorist attacks since our 2003 invasion of Iraq, do you see the current set of republican policies as favoring or harming international terrorism. Do you see any issues with the republican party, and corruption in general? And finally, do you hope you'll be sharing a cell-block in Leavenworth with Karl Rove (perjury and espionage), Dick Cheney (treason), Jack Abramoff (racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder), Bill Frist (insider trading, and medical malpractice in the Schiavo case), Tom Delay (conspiracy to commit money laundering, and election fraud), and Tom Noe (money laundering, fraud, embezzlement, and election fraud)?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Please open your blog for comments so the people you represent can convey their opinions to you!
These are my friends, See how they glisten. See this one shine, how he smiles in the light.
The skeery part is that that turkey is 2nd in line for the Presidency. And it's not that far fetched. Cheney quits when he finally gets outed as the shitbag he is, then Bush quits because he's a quitter that never held a job to completion, that leaves Hasturd next in line.
Sleep comfortabley, mah fellow 'Merkins.
Today, energy companies started reporting their 3rd quarter earnings, and while Americans paying were record prices at the pump, energy companies were making record profits.
Makes sense to me: prices go up, therefore profit margin goes up, and so profits go up. Unless of course the profit margin has stayed the same and the amount sold has gone up. Which is it?
Maybe they should put the prices up further, Americans are still driving SUVs 50 yards to the shop. Petrol's still only half the price it is in Europe.
If anything, oil companies should be criticised for not increasing prices ENOUGH.
