They, sort of, got it right

The Senate passed the bailout bill. Ok, well done, guys. They had to give away $110 billion to do it. Seriously. These idiots need to be bribed to save the economy of the United States. Yeah, yeah they don't actually get the money. They just give it to the companies that pay for the fine senator's next election campaign. Really.

Anyone remember the governor of Illinois who pardoned everyone of Death Row? Ruined his political career. But he probably saved at least one innocent man's life. According to the statistics, he probably saved more than that. (Same stats say that our President has signed the Death Warrants for DOZENS of innocent men in Texas. I call that murder. He's murdered more people than any of the people he killed.) But that governor didn't think about politics. He thought about how it would feel if he knew that he could save an innocent man's life and he refused to do it. Being an honest, caring human came before politics. Maybe all the pork would be unnecessary if more pols thought like the former governor of Illinois.
