Richard Burr: Pathetic
Like an old drunk who's been beating his kids, Richard Burr apparently doesn't have the personal strength to do the right thing. In a plea that can only be described as pathetic, Burr yesterday asked the audience at a Raleigh business meeting to "badger" Congress. The story is from The Dome.
Speaking at the Breakfast Club of the Triangle meeting at the Brier Creek Country Club, he said he didn't have much to say about the current political situation in Washington, D.C. "I could sum it up in one word: Nothing," he said.
He said the level of "political divisiveness" is higher than he's thought it could ever be, and he referred to a series of Johnson Automotive ads that the group watched in which a car salesman, played by a puppet badger named Grady, harasses customers.
"Now is when you need to badger us," he said.
Imagine if you had an employee who said "please badger me into doing my job . . . I can't do it on my own." If that employee worked for me, his ass would be on the street in about 30 seconds.
Like I said. Pathetic.

Speaking of working for you...
Are you hiring? :-)

Hiring!
Ha.
I decided to go freelance earlier this fall and don't even have a job myself any more. Which makes me a proud member of the self-employed-searching-for-insurance crowd.

If the many dumb-s**ts (Brad Miller excluded) in Congress think
the American public is unhappy with them now, just wait until our family and friends start dying because our food supply is unsafe and our drug supply and drug components (many being imported from China) are unsafe and unregulated.
We can't even get COOL implemented although it was passed in the 2002 Agriculture Bill and our own Mike McIntyre is chairman of the AG subcommittee that oversees foreign agriculture.
If something happens to my loved ones because of this, I won't be writing letters in protest. And I won't be toting a pitchfork either.
As an aside, McIntyre just tooted his own horn on his website/newsletter because he introduced legislation (now approved) to increase the fines to people who say bad things or show a nipple over our airways. Meanwhile, we're dying...
McIntyre's a joke!

To see how much of a fine I could rack up. I can cuss up quite a storm, and, um, could always flash the latter. When do we get BlueNC TV? :-D
You're right, Stan. Priorities in DC are mostly fucked up. There are a few - like Congressman Miller, Congressman Price, etc., who seem to understand the reason that they are there.

I've already posted BlueNC TV :)
I used it for my piece on Joe Wilson. Um....didn't feel the need to show any nippy, though. The piece kinda stood on its own. :)
Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.
I was just offering. :)
You know. In case.
