Man sitting: Harriet...can you bring in a fresh groveling pillow for the congressman?
Caption: How to tell the dog days of fundraising season have arrived.
I worked in the agriculture business for 10 yearsā¦(Blueberries)ā¦.Pesticides arenāt the problemā¦Disease is the problemā¦Pesticides breakdown and fade away in two days in sunlightā¦Disease can wipe out a cropā¦A genetically engineered tomato is still just a tomatoā¦..Chomp on it at willā¦.
Yes, that is one aspect of how the country has been running. Then there are those congressmen who just receive an email listing the do and donāt for whatever the cooperation is dictating. And many other controlling aspects of so-called āpublic servantsā. On the other side, actual honest dedicated members of congress who do represent constituents; but are becoming few and far between.
Andā¦the Groveling Pillow is awarded toā¦wait for itā¦ Gov. Chris Christie the Lackie in Waiting !!
I donāt like Ted Cruz but I have to give him a full hand ( not a one finger ) salute for last nightās performance.He gets:A for guts in giving that speech.A- for not kissing a$$B for sticking to his own brand of conservatism and finally D for stagecraft. If heād kept his mouth shut ( and his aideās mouths shut ) leading up to his speech, thereby building the suspense and speculation, heād have stolen the show.But no, stupidity got in the way and by leaking his refusal to anoint King Trump as the new Republican Messiah, he allowed Rump Trump to come in and upstage him and allowed Trumpās minions to salt the audience.
Congressor sounds less clunky than āCongress person.ā Or Congresswoman since we do have two genders..~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It also rhymes with āTransgressorā which seems somehow apropos.
Hyman Silverberg has a great deal on Catholic kneelers. Buy now, time is running out. One week to bankruptcy and we close forever. Mounting hardware extra.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, given the number of identifiable genders out there, maybe best to stick to congress person. Although, son on the end of per is masculine. How about ācongress peopleā? That would take in all the staffers who actually run the show.

They now have to begin fundraising before they unpack, and may be late at that.

Before Gingrich, fund raising was an annoying interruption in legislative activities.
Newt changed all that.Since Newt, legislative activities seldom interrupt fund raising.
