Biden to campaign for Rep. Grayson
 /snip

Biden will attend an event on Monday for the first-term Democratic lawmaker, who's made waves during his term in Congress by taking outspoken liberal stances on issues. /snip

The stop on behalf of Grayson reflects the tight nature of the liberal's race against Republican Daniel Webster. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as "lean Republican," in no small part due to Grayson's outspoken time in Congress.

He had said Republicans' plans for health reform is for sickly patients to "die quickly," and launched an add against his opponent, calling him "Taliban Dan."

Still, a win for Grayson would go a long way toward Democrats' effort to stave off the net loss of 39 seats that would hand control of the House to Republicans, and make GOP Leader John Boehner (Ohio) the speaker of the House.

You go, Joe! And Go Grayson!!

It says this will be Biden's 99th campaign event on behalf of candidates this year!

 

And this is probably the most sad story you will read all day.

1. I sent Alan $25.00 yesterday. I wish I could send more but SS doesn't give me much 
 flexibility. I truely hope he wins his race because he's the ONLY DEM. who has the guts to call the Pubbies what they really are!

Then there was this

It's obvious that Social Security pays too much, or this person is scamming SS, and doesn't need the money, so they should send it back for people that truly need it.

My thoughts exactly.

One suspects the primitive is one of those "too depressed" to work.

Work of course is the best curative for depression.

Damn freeloaders.

I don't know if many people will get this reference but the DUmmies remind me of Marvin the robot from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. They are constantly depressed and think they have a brain the size of the planet so any kind of labor is well beneath them. Only difference is Marvin would do his job as he whined.

That was a very keen observation, involving a favorite character of mine thus way desrerves a high five

The entire HHGTG series is downloadable audio books.

I listen on an MP3 while walking the dog or driving .  Lots of good books on audio available on line through my local library FREE (ok so I pay for it with tax dollars but at least I get something back).  My favorite price

About 2 weeks ago I found myself home alone all weekend so I went to netflix and watched the original BBC episodes. It was low budget but, enjoyable. It covered the first whole book pretty much and the second half of the second book. A couple of things were different from the books but it was fun to watch.
The best line ever was when Arthur told Ford that he wished he had listened to what his mother told him when he was young. Ford asked him "What did she say" he replied "I don't know I wasn't listening"

Just a few weeks ago, some entity had published the net worth of all our congresscreeps.  Alan Grayson was way up there as a rich bastard.  Some DUmmies murmered very quietly, "I had no idea about Alan Grayson."  Then, they let the thread die a very quick death.   

napi DUmmy, you should have saved your pennies.  Alan can infuse his own campaign with his own cash.

Thanks, I may do that too.
