The Grey Peregrinator asked me if it is true that Congress and staffers were exempt from the insider trading rules applicable to us mere mortals who pay their salaries, subsidized lunches, subsidized haircuts. and obscene pensions and healthcare benefits. I told him it was so, but that our fearless senators were, as we speak, debating whether they should change this practice. “Birds would not even have to debate this silliness,” the GP chortled menacingly, “we would just round out the miscreants, take their birdseed and fling them out of the nest.
I think our Congressmen for Life need to be booted out. They act like they are the royalty our founding fathers tried to protect us from. I have recently been referred to an organization called GOOOH, which is an acronym for Get Out of Our House, whose site can be found at http://www.goooh.com. They advocate term limits, putting congressmen and other elected officials into the same health care and pension systems as us mere mortals and taxpayers. We have candidates running in Texas, including the 21st District.
