I remember James P. Traficant. I hate it ended up like it did for him. He was entertaining and right most every time.

Loved the toupée. And the shortened Italian name.

Ron Paul had a sign on his desk;

“Don’t steal. The government hates competition.”

Nobody ever gets fired in government.

There were four shop supervisors that got fired for misuse of their government credit card during the years I worked for the guard.

She should be in prison.

That would be racist.

No doubt a conservative white man would go to prison for that. But, then again, he wouldn’t get cushy jobs like that.
