#2 I'd be willing to shovel barrows of money into the HamFat conflict, but that is only because I take a perverse delight in that sort of red-on-red squabbling. I know it's wrong - no man is an island, every man's death diminishes me - aw, who am I kidding. Hey, let's you and him fight!

#5 Geez Louise. These dunderheads don't understand anything.

Dear Ms Lowey, if we give them $86M to tend their duckies and chickies THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SPEND ANYWAY then they can spend their own $86M for nefarious purposes...it's called fungibility.

#7 My surprise meter wiggled when I saw it was a Dem congresscritter. Kudos to Ms. Lowey for swimming against the current and asking a tough question.

#8 yeah, it has to make you wonder if maybe it wasn't a good idea afterall, for reasons unclear.
