Senate majority leader faces re-election challenge Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hopes that if he repeats a campaign slogan enough, it will become true.

"I'm independent, just like Nevada," the Democrat said Monday after making his campaign official by filing his candidacy with the secretary of state. "The people of Nevada know me. I'm not going to change who I am. I'm the same person today that I used to be."
:lol:

No. But you can be God Damm sure that I will be giving money to anyone who is willing to unseat Reid and run a pole up his ass and tar and feather him on the way out of Congress. :D

During a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the proposed relocation of naval personnel to the island of Guam, Rep. Hank Johnson expressed his concern for the stability of the tiny U.S. territory -- not its political stability or its economic stability, but its basic, physical stability.

"My fear that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," the Georgia Democrat said, making a tipping motion with his hands.

"We don't anticipate that," Adm. Robert Willard responded.

Guam, like many islands, is attached to the sea floor, and thus unlikely to tip over under normal stresses.

Man, when you hear something like that out of a Congresscritter's mouth, you remember it's said inbreeding to the point of the incestuous is one way to get really good racehorses -- and then you wonder if that is how they arrived at this worthy Congressman. Unless perhaps it's DC's notorious humidity? Lead-pipe plumbing?

I have no allegiance to any state. Georgia just happens to be where there is a really low cost of living at the same wages I could earn elsewhere.

The United States should consider raising taxes to help bring deficits under control and may need to consider a European-style value-added tax, White House adviser Paul Volcker said on Tuesday.

Volcker, answering a question from the audience at a New York Historical Society event, said the value-added tax "was not as toxic an idea" as it has been in the past and also said a carbon or other energy-related tax may become necessary.

Though he acknowledged that both were still unpopular ideas, he said getting entitlement costs and the U.S. budget deficit under control may require such moves. "If at the end of the day we need to raise taxes, we should raise taxes," he said.
Why would you love that?

If the problem is entitlement costs, eliminate the cap on payroll taxes. You don't need a whole new tax.
