    Yes, Republicans have actually done something uncharacteristic for their party: They have helped a few Americans get some new jobs, and a pay increase at the same time. It seems they have crafted a boom for the industry of lobbying. That in itself is nothing new for this party - the public be damned - the American government is there for only those who can afford it. Right? But they have created a thriving industry for all those parasites who live off of the American political system at the expense of the average American.

    Wow, and the Dems say the Republicans can't create new jobs. I guess King George showed them a thing or three. But wait - there's more:

    Hey, there's nothing like recycling these guys. In-and-out of government, it seems there is always an opportunity to make the big bucks:

    Do you feel any "safer" now? or healthier?

    It does make me feel so much better knowing that at least a few Americans are prospering at a time like this - I mean with 9/11 and all, and the "sacrifices" we Americans are making as a result of the "war on terror." It's good to see that the government officials and their pals are raking in the dough off of doing the "people's work." Or is it living off the people's work? It's little wonder the Republicans don't want us to retire.

    Heh. Wait, make that a double: Heh Heh.

    Now I'm wondering if we'll ever get a clear reckoning of the billions spent on Iraq. In this kind of environment, there must be some serious profiteering going on...
