Both Detroit and Chicago should consider outsourcing their politics. It just never turns out well, ask former mayor Kilpatrick and Chicago's Blago.

Are we still calling it a "stimulus" after it was lavished onto the Democrat's union supporters as political payola?

This just in: heroin provides heroin addicts a temporary cushion against the effects of not having enough heroin!

No one gets elected to anything by telling the truth.
Voters on all sides prefer the fantasy island version.

So you weren't trying to hijack the thread, and just wanted to deflect and introduce a little moral relativism?

OK, mission accomplished.

Is there a state in the union with more ex-governors and/or mayors in the slammer?
The state that churned out Obama has to be right there with em. They may take the lead with a president in the slammer soon. Or Rahm. He will be next most likely. Another democrat crook.

And more stimulus spending. This is being proposed in a deal that is supposed to help us with debt. It really is mind boggling.

And to you Bily Lovec, there ain't nothing different about Obama, not a damn thing and you are right! Fiscal Cliff right around the corner.
yep.. just like the Sandy victims. Obama got his photo ops and pats on the back and now he's giving the middle class the middle finger... and soon he will be off on his 21 day vacation. A lot of people are going to be in for a wake up call. Too bad they had to drag everyone else with them.
