Your Money Is Actually My Money
Jeez.
I’m getting a twinge of guilt writing this post and I don’t like it. For mine is a righteous quest.
Not because I feel bad for posting about Murtha’s overt corruption, you understand – no problem there – but because one really shouldn’t mock senile seniors.
Just take a look at this pic and try telling me that he’s not one sandwich short of a picnic.
The Incredible Sulk could not be more blatant is his abuse of office to enrich others and secure his own perpetual reelection (and, in this, he is far from alone).
But he takes it just a little further than the rest.
His nephew, Robert C. Murtha Jr., runs a company named Murtech. Last year, Murtech received $4 million in Pentagon work, all of which, purely by coincidence no doubt, was awarded without competition. Murtech also has links to the PMA Group, a Washington defense lobbying firm founded by one of Murtha’s former senior staffers. Surprise!
But where are all the two-headed, five-legged, hermaphrodite mockeries of human life? Politics is so incestuous that they can’t be far away.

Your penultimate sentence was the Least Necessary Imagery of the Day.
I will now go wash my face.
Cheers,
