Congress sucks
Cory Mills in the spotlight
Rep. Cory Mills, R-FL, is getting some unwelcome attention lately. He narrowly avoided censure (on a resolution submitted by Rep. Nancy “Meltdown” Mace, also an R) but is under scrutiny by the Ethics committee for a variety of sins, and there is questioning whether his Bronze Star is legit. Mills, now serving his second term, […]
Censure fever
The government is back to work, and lawmakers are busy – attacking each other. While on the surface, this keeps them messing up other things, it also means they are spending a lot of time not doing what they are supposed to. The perfect example of a mixed blessing, I guess. Not a good look […]
Wednesday Weirdness
Never thought I would ever say this – but I found myself agreeing with the Squad briefly. Damn, feel like I should wash my mouth out after saying that. AOC is up first on the list.

And beginning in January 2023 she spent more than a year as the chairperson of the powerful House appropriations […]
Monday updates
Let’s follow up on some stories from the past. First up – thebesig just did a story about some Washington, D.C. area servers and waitstaff who announced their intention to give lousy service to incoming administration people. One laudable result: “I personally would refuse to serve any person in office who I know of as […]
Trump: DO Something! Part 1
Love all the politicians who run for office like they are the best buds of everyone who has ever served. Veterans, privates, officers, Coasties, no matter: they love ’em all, until two nanoseconds after the winner is called. Then the entire military becomes the drunk fat chick they boinked on a dateless Friday after ‘way […]
