Beware politicians with the name “good government” in their committee name.

Ugh. This is why I hate everybody.

Instead of funding an office, they should use the bounty system. Say, $100,000 if your information leads to an indictment/conviction. Year-round season, no bag limit.

I agree with Soccermom. Even if she does hate me.

And “reform” or bills with the word “Patriot” or “Freedom” in their title.

Was he not supposed to bill for his services?

Seems like a planted story.

When reform jobs go to non-reformers, this is what happens. Albeit not usually quite like this.

I am reminded of this verse, Luke 2)46-47

“Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

Ubi est meum, to steal from Royko.

The sort of funny thing is that he made great money for zero results, and still whined.

He’s a young attorney who had no idea what an easy gig he had.

Whatever- you got it. Royko captured it all right there. And “Lord save us from the reformers”
