I was on the treadmill at the Y trying to reduce the last 30 lbs of Christmas fat when the House TARP hearing came on the TV. So I watched and read the closed caption. I was so infuriated by what I saw that when I got home I fired this gem off to Specter, Snow and Collins:
Right now the House of Representatives is holding hearings with banking officials on the mismanagement of the first installment of the TARP funds. Any mismanagement of TARP funds wasn’t the fault of the banking officials. So what, some of the TARP funds appear to have been spent foolishly, as Chuckles Schumer might say, “The American people don’t care.”
Any mismanagement of TARP funds rests squarely on the shoulders of the US Congress. It was you and your too lazy to read and understand what was in the bill colleagues who passed TARP in a hysterical rush and sans the barest regulation on how those funds should be monitored and/or used. You are responsible for the debacle. Now that the idiocy you and your entrenched gasbag friends passed has gone south, the preening class in Washington is feigning outrage and looking for a scapegoat.
Having learned nothing from your bitter TARP experience, you and two of your RINO buddies are set to sell America down the rivers and spawn the seeds of revolution by passing an even more expensive less understood piece of legislation - all in the name of “doing something.”
You appear to be like a hapless dope who sets his own house on fire by storing oily rags in a corner of the basement and then flicks cigarettes into the heap. Sure as anyone with a brain knows, the heap eventually ignites. Then in the haste “to do something,” the dope who caused the fire in the first place dashes to the garage and grabs the first container containing a liquid that he sees. Unfortunately for the dope, the liquid is in a red container and contains gasoline. The dope, insistent on “doing something,” compounds his idiocy by dousing the fire he started in his own home with gasoline.
You don’t need “to do something” if that “something” is done in thoughtless haste and appears to be dumber than the actions that caused crisis the “something” is supposed to fix.

In Canada the Conservative Party consists of Blue Torries (most conservative), Red Torries (moderates), and Pink Torries (described as the most liberal conservatives but 51% conservative which I guess means there is a meter somewhere that can measure this). On the other side is the Liberal Party of Canada which seems to various farm teams, half-and-halfs, firebreathers, and ecoterorists. I am honing up on socialism as the demorats are dedicated to bring it to us today. In the available definitions I suspect I may be a Purple-Blue-Black Torry Conservative with Self- Preservation leanings, but I could also be a Gray-Muave-Rainbow Torry with Southern Butternut tendencies. Being a socialist country now is going to be complicated. Our new socialist government will vote today to give me a credit to buy a new vehicle, more if it is an electric/hybrid. The gov also has given the auto companies our tax money to pay it's bills. These bills are to a large degree a result of government regulations forced onto the industry. The money the gov will spend will be borrowed from a Communist country that is trying to become more capitalist that will help convert a capitalist country into a socialist country. Going socialist is going to be complicated. Griffin.
