Washington Closed...until the fall?

"Even before the storm arrived in the nation's capital, the House announced it was scrapping the rest of its workweek.  Several hearings and meetings were postponed."

 - Associated Press

Lots of snow in the East.  It's front page headlines.  "SNOW shuts down Washington!"  I was a tad disappointed Obama's drop in the polls didn't earn front-page consideration.  His ratings dropped...again...but you may not have heard.  But so goes the mainstream media.  They are too busy talking about Sarah Palin's hand (post coming soon).  

Is it just me or would it be amazingly awesome if the snow closed up shop in DC on a bit more permanent basis?...like, until the Fall elections?  I figure the more time passes without our looney Congress unable to pass even more fiscally irresponsible legislation the better.

And apparently some people are concerned about the waste in tax-payer dollars due to the loss of productivity.  But, here's my thinking: our government wastes a couple hundred million bucks at lightning speed, so maybe they could actually IMPROVE the deficit by simply NOT working.

I'm serious. Somebody crunch the numbers. Congress: stop working.  It will be better for the American People.

Also, is this more evidence of those ridiculous global warming claims?...which are continuing to unravel at the seams.  Do you know parts of the Nobel Peace Prize winning research on Global Warming were based on two non-published student dissertations?  And others were based on reports from environmental pressure groups?  Now doesn't that just sound super objective.  And still others were based on an article in a Mountaineering Magazine.  Seriously...THIS is the research that is changing the way we live our lives.  I refuse to accept flawed, biased and elementary research as proof of man-made global warming.

So, while we prep for more rain and cooler temps here in the Northwest, I send along the best of luck to my east coast friends.  Snuggle up with some hot cocoa and know we are only praying for the snow to stall our government's progressive agenda...not yours (as long as its not progressive).

We Own the Hill

"It's not the Kennedy's seat. It's not the Democrat's seat. It's the People's seat."

- Scott Brown

He said it right. In fact, I wish he would have yelled it. It is one of the most truthful and factual statements I've heard from a politician in a long time. His words reflect the frustrations of many. Who do our elected officials think they are? Don't they remember they represent a body of people and should have their best interests in mind?

BACKGROUND: Scott Brown is the Republican underdog challenging Democrat Martha Cloakley for the open Senate seat in Massachusetts. This is a special election to fill the vacancy left by Ted Kennedy. What Democrats didn't plan for was the race to tighten and Brown to have a fighting chance of winning. Should Brown win (crossing fingers...pretty please!), he could be the ONE member to block Obamacare from passing. He would be the 41st vote against it.

Brown has it spot on. Every seat in Congress belongs to the people...no matter how long you've sat in it.

And if you're wondering what the people are saying as of late, a Gallup poll released today plainly shows the people are not happy. Not only are Obama's rating numbers down in most other categories (yet again), but the President's ratings with regards to health care are at 37%.

Yes, you read it right: 37%.

So why the push? Why the urgent, closed-door meetings on Health Care? Why the lack of transparency? Do you think our elected officials truly have the people in mind, or are they pushing an agenda other than ours?

I would suggest the numbers speak for themselves.

My eyes are on Massachusetts. If I knew anyone who lived there I would have been on the horn five minutes ago. Do you? Call them. Tell them to get informed and VOTE.
