I've wondered about Rodin's famous sculpture. Is he engaged in deep thought or sitting around wasting time? And why isn't he wearing pants? I ask the same of myself. Here we comment on well, mostly politics. Or we may just sit! If you like it, tell a friend. If not, tell us, but please read the GROUND RULES before you do.

McCain proves time and again that he doesn't understand the system. He presents earmarks as an evil so anyone in favor of an earmark is evil.
What he fails to tell the people is that if you're too small to get your own attention you need your representatives to get it for you.
Obama has requested earmarks for new water towers and sewage systems. Some small towns will never be able to acquire them without federal assistance.
What do people in Arizona do, live with dysentery?
Earmarks can be abused and the system for earmarking spending in the budget is flawed. But when used responsibly it's one of the few ways to get improvements, unless your a major bank and one of McCain's top 4 contributors who just happens to need $700billion.
