The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

I wish to puke.

The Senate voted to allow illegal aliens to get social security benefits even if the benefits were earned using forged or stolen documents. Why? They committed a felony to get those benefits. I just don't get it. I stole a million and invested it. Years later I am caught. DO I get to keep the investment earnings?

Then, with all the shouts of "Energy independence! Energy independence!", the off shore drilling ban off the coast of Florida was extended.

That does remind me of a humorous story to make me less ill.....a few years ago, there was a photo of Ted Kennedy on his Yacht off of Cape Cod surrounded by a couple of scantily clad young ladies. Senator Ernest Hollings, upon seeing the photo, commented (and you have to know what he sounds like, because it's much better coming from his voice) "I thought Kennedy was against off shore drillin'."

To be fair; that ban has strong support from the President(but it does make sense to me a little; That area of Florida has about 3* million forms of life to every form found on the North Slope)



*number made up by me.
