Oh, Lord, I pray Mineta goes away. Far, far, away. And stays gone!

No worries. LaHood retired for this election cycle.

Republican Aaron Schock won his congressional seat with 59% of the vote.

“Granholm is the front-runner to win the labor secretary nomination”

Oh, that makes perfect sense. The Gov. of the State tied for the highest unemployment rate, the most union members, the largest percentage of empty homes, and the highest number of residents moving out.

Yeah, great pick, crap for brains.
