Schilling is leaving pizza for politics. The owner of Saint Giuseppe’s Heavenly Pizza arrives in the House with a vow to oppose all tax increases and to slash discretionary federal spending in his quest to improve job prospects in his native western Illinois."

Makes a mean pizza.

He also has pledged to stay if office for maximum of four terms (eight years), refuse to accept any pay increase while in office, he will continue to pay for his own(and his family's) health insurance himself, and he says that he is looking forward to returning to his pizza business when finished in congress.

Sound like a new type of elected official to me.

I’m so glad Bobby won. Hare is the guy they caught on tape saying “I don’t care about the constitution” when it came to health care bill.
