Hello Congressional Lurkers
Senator Richard Shelby, Senator Jeff Sessions, Representative Jo Bonner. This seems to have caught the attention of your notification service on my last post, so I'll try it again.
Just what do you people spend your day doing? As nice as it is to be heard for a change, how much time do ya'll spend reading obscure little blogs like this one? What made this especially amusing is the topic of my last post. I was commenting on how unresponsive some representatives are. So what happens? Congressional staffers spend time lurking, and don't even respond.
You don't spend much time reading the bills that you are voting on. All that pork gets slipped in somehow. Did you notice the military access to school records requirement in the No Child Left Behind bill? How about those back door US attorney appointments in the latest Patriot Act? And now you're thinking that maybe we should have kept Habeas Corpus when we made torture legal.
You don't spend much time writing bills either. Why bother when someone from the group being regulated is willing to write them for you? No charge.
You have been known to spend time on petty activities such as trashing Wikipedia entries for your fellow congress people.
Sounds like a great job. It even includes health care. Where do I apply?

LOL Cheryl...True grit!!! Thanks!
Most excellent post indeed. Let us know what your meter reader reveals.
Looks like I found a way onto somebody's search notification. They came lurking again, but don't have anything to say to me. Chicken, I guess.
One was a few hours after I posted, a Sunday afternoon. The other was on Monday morning.
Reading your latest post I recalled the story of how Harry Truman got his nickname (from Wikipedia):
During a speech by Truman in, Harrisburg, Illinois attacking the Republicans during the 1948 Presidential election campaign a supporter yelled out, "Give 'em Hell, Harry!". Truman replied, "I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's Hell."
Cheryl, you're a great "truth teller". Keep up the good work.
Team 'em up, sister!
Thanks for the encouragement ya'll. Sometimes I just have to scream and hope somebody hears.
