I've found it mostly less than profitable to watch him.  And with some of
the other politicians,  it depends on who it is -- mostly I don't have the
stomach for it.

Your tax dollars at work!

Y'know,  there _REALLY_ oughta be some way that these people were penalized
for some of the stupid crap that they perpetrate,  using other people's
money. It just seems like there ain't,  though,  and so it continues to
happen,  over and over...

I have a book around here someplace,  written by a guy who was griping
about all of the things he found out about that tax money is spent on.  I
forget the title and author,  but no matter.  One time I was in a bookstore
and see this book,  and I also see that there's like 3 or 4 other ones, 
different titles,  all by the same author,  and all apparently on the same
theme.  I guess he's found _his_ niche!

It never ends.
