So, you've gone from self-appointed Hall Monitor to outright owner of this place? Hmmmm. Guess we'll see about that.

The United States Congress does not work for us.
As in you and me.
I have come to this somber conclusion after reading enough articles, blogs, facts, and budget numbers to make an actuary cross-eyed.
And I feel more at peace now because I can say “wow, that explains a lot. That explains everything.”
I won’t inflict blindness on you by citing every possible statistic here.
Here’s a few:
⁃ Starting Congressional Base Salary $174,000 ⁃ Average First Year Attorney Salary - Washington DC: $160,000 ⁃ Total Congressional Pay + Expenses (not including office expenditures): $233,000,000 ⁃ Estimated Total Campaign Funding in 2014: $1,049,000,000
The amount spent on Congress includes expenses and benefits for active members (not including pensions and other fringe benefits that can’t easily be tracked).
It costs 4 times the amount the government spends on Congress to elect them to office every 2 years (6 years for Senate).
The parties have a $74 million war chest, after raising $364 million in 2013. The Super PACs raised an additional $141 million so far.
Common sense rule: you work for who pays you.

The mustache is just wrong though.
That coffee will grow hair on anything.
Quite terrible.
Frightening.
Good thing no humans drink the stuff.

I hope you are fishing.
The kind you don’t take home to muthuh...
Funny, my room mate lived with Rick James for 3 years before he went to prison.
Prison?
Who?
The roommate or Rick James?
And did he meet anybody cool there? Like Jayster?
By the way Jayster - for someone who's "The Monitor" now, you sure are quiet this morning.
Gunner has been properly taken aback by this firm and sudden display of righteous moral authority -
(N00bie gots him a badge *AND* a whistle!)
Rick went prison.
This guy knows all the Holyweirdos.
Two days after Rick he “crashed” Nicholas Cage’s couch for three months.
“Jokester” wears baggy pants, passed on to him by his older brothuh.
Ooooh! That’s some REAL *Authoritay*!! Rspect (per O’banama, hoo noes hao to spel) his authoritay!!
That’s right, JaywalkerShyster. We’re laughing at you.
Knock. Knock.
Maybe he went out for a walk.
Or he’s drunk and behind a dumpster somewhere.
A bender since the 26th is believable.
Thunderbird, not even once.
