Mr. Menendez’s Ethics Problem
Published: February 8, 2013
Senator Robert Menendez was never a distinguished choice for chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the position he ascended to this month by virtue of seniority. Concerns about that quality gap have sharply escalated amid new disclosures about Mr. Menendez’s use of his position to advance the financial interests of a friend and big donor. Instead of trying to protect Mr. Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, needs to remove his gavel, at least pending credible resolution by the Senate Ethics Committee of the swirling accusations of misconduct.

I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: State workers, teachers, etc., don’t live in mansions or drive Porsches. If you want to get rich, work in the private sector, because that’s where the big money is. People who go into public service do so out of a desire to serve/help others, and they give up a lot in terms of lifestyle and standard of living in order to pursue that goal.

Like everything else in politics and life, Chavez’ “revolution” was a mixed bag: “The ‘Chavistas’ praised El Comandante for reducing extreme poverty and expanding access to health care and education. Critics blamed him for high inflation, food shortages, escalating crime and mismanagement of the country’s oil industry. Human rights groups lambasted him for politicizing the judicial branch, and undermining the democratic system of checks and balances.”
Mexico’s former foreign minister offered this assessment: “I think he’ll be remembered for having tried to make a life of poor people in Venezuela better but in the end of the day, having made it worse. When the consequences of his economic policies become apparent, it will end up that he spent an enormous amount of money to make people a little better off for a short period of time.”
Before being elected president of Venezuela in peaceful elections, Hugo tried to seize power through a bloody failed coup.
“A 2009 report by the progressive think tank Center for Economic and Policy Research found poverty was cut in half during the first decade of Chavez’s rule; child mortality fell by a third; malnutrition deaths were down by 50%; and college enrollment almost doubled. At the same time, one non-government report estimated Venezuela’s murder rate quadrupled while Chavez was in power. In 2012, inflation hit 18%. Accusations of corruption and nepotism dogged his administration. … He often lavished praise on Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi and Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, but his staunchest ally was Cuba.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, there’s a lot to dislike about Chavez and his regime. This should not obscure the fact that Venezuela, like other South American countries, suffers from profound social and economic problems. The status quo in these countries isn’t acceptable to most of their citizens and shouldn’t be accepted by us either. The impoverished masses of Venezuela and other South American nations deserve better leaders than Chavez, but he was hardly worse than the rightwing military dictators who drenched the continent in blood and repression. One more thing: For all his bellicose rhetoric against America, he attacked no country, started no wars, and did not go into foreign lands and kill their people as our government has done.

Or maybe we architects and engineers should just jump on the bandwagon and cap what can happen to us when we fuck up. “Geez, Bob, you realized zero owner betterment because of that $5M change order we issued because we fucked up your new radiology clinic by constructing it on the wrong site and now you want us to pay? Sorry, capped at $250K, fucktard.”
Sweet. Yeah, I can see where you’re coming from. Now I just have to pull some specious argument from my ass about how this will somehow contain construction change order costs and maybe even create American jobs.
Or would you rather that architects and engineers just fucked up less often, especially when it comes to your project?

KIROV-TV just had a bit on the anti-marijuana folks having the US AG go after WA and CO for their legalization initiatives. Those bastards in the DEA and other outback nazi organizations are seething about the “temerity” of our state and Colorado to challenge the Holy Federal Government!
Get active – contact Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell and your Congress-person and tell them it’s time for them to earn their pay and support the people of WA!!

In that horrible case where the “nurse” called 911 to tell about the woman dying of a heart attack but wouldn’t do anything to help her, if the woman had a do not resuscitate directive, why was the “nurse” calling 911 in the first place? Seems that woman and her boss coaching her in the background to do nothing, should be charged with some sort of crime, neglegant homicide, or something.

Seems the source for the revised WA Post story is a Melgen relative. Curious the WA Post left this out of their original attack piece on the Daily Caller and were caught so they quietly added it later in their revision.
Puddybud spews:
So where did the money go?

Now after the Daily Caller aired this prostitute story, the editor of the site was on CNN today.
So that is how the Daily Caller runs their “news” organization? Throw out the shit, then decide to see if it’s true?

One of the issues not mentioned much in the news about Amtrak, is that it’s operating subsidies are going down, only covering 12%. (By the way, the current CEO is a Republican.) 13 years ago, there was a drive to self-sufficiency that fizzled, it included mail and express revenues, and new routes, which the host railroads fought.

In other news DUMMOCRAPTS don’t give a rats ASS if you are being raped. Better not have a gun to defend yourself!
Ekim spews:
Identifying yourself as a moron now?
Ekim spews:
So the self proclaimed moron thinks more guns fix everything. A woman with a gun in her purse is safe from rape. Right. The wingnut answer to everything.
And where were the REPUGNUTs when it was time to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act? Oh yeah, a year and a half late to the party. I guess that is why women turned out to support REPUGNUTs in the last election.
Ekim spews:
If REPUGNUTs really want to stop rapists then lets find the money to process all those thousands of rape kits that, you know, would identify a whole bunch of rapists. Removing rapists from society, you know, would be a good thing.
But REPUGNUTs prefer women be left to defend themselves. If they fail at self defense, well then they deserve it because they weren’t properly prepared.
rhp6033 spews:
I’ve sometimes wondered – in how many instances of rape would a handgun in a purse made any difference at all? I’m thinking very few. In the first place, it takes my wife about five minutes to fish her keys out of her purse – and that’s not when she’s under duress. Secondly, the attacker needs to be several feet away for a handgun to be used without danger that it’s going to be taken away by the attacker. Third, a handgun needs a holster, even if it’s being carried in a purse – you don’t want the car keys switching the safety off an pulling the trigger as she’s rummaging around for her makeup.
So unless a woman is carrying her handgun in a holster on her hip, without wearing a jacket or other clothing to impede drawing the weapon, and assuming that you aren’t talking about her being drugged with roofies at dinner or a bar, or date-rape, or being attacked by the next-door neighbor in the hallway as she’s carrying her groceries into her apartment, or being attacked from behind while jogging….
Never mind. It’s not worth trying to reduce it to a math problem, the answer approaches “zero”.

‘Lie back and enjoy it.’, then. Good plan, rhp.
Oh, and about this statement:
Secondly, the attacker needs to be several feet away for a handgun to be used without danger that it’s going to be taken away by the attacker.
How’d that work out for Trayvon?
Serial conservative spews:
@ 117
Apparently, rhp, yours is not a popular opinion when told to a woman who has already been raped.
DENVER (AP) – Colorado state Sen. Evie Hudak is apologizing for comments she made to a rape victim who testified against a bill banning concealed-carry weapons on college campuses.
Hudak, a Democrat from Westminster, told Amanda Collins, 27, of Reno, Nev., the rapist could have used the gun against her. Hudak said after the meeting her job is to keep the safety of all college campus students in mind.
http://www.koaa.com/news/color.....-remark/#_
Ah, but what does that rape victim know, rhp? Women need men to approve their personal protection in advance, so society as a whole doesn’t have to take the same chances women individually are expected to take simply by being, you know, women.
Ekim spews:
@119,
But women must remember that they can only shoot a rapist before he does the dirty deed.
Because, you know, the way female parts down there work, if she gets pregnant, then she wanted it and so it isn’t rape, and if she murders the rapist then she should be tried for murder.
Ekim spews:
So let’s say the REPUGNANT model of rape prevention is put into place on campus and other such spots where rapes occur by making all women purchase and carry appropriate guns for self defense.
Let’s also say our REPUGNANT rapist then takes to incapacitating his victims by hitting said victims over the head with some sort of blunt object. Our REPUGNANT rapist’s victims (assuming they survive the blow to the head) now wake up without clothes or gun.
This is an improvement, how?
rhp6033 spews:
My scoutmaster and a police officer both told me the same thing, when I was a teenager:
“If you are going to carry a gun, be prepared to draw it. If you draw a gun, you should shoot it (don’t use it as a bargaining chip or a warning device). If you shoot a gun, shoot to kill. If you aren’t willing to do that, you’ve got no business carrying a gun”.
rhp6033 spews:
Serial @ # 118: “‘Lie back and enjoy it.’, then. Good plan, rhp.”
You said that, not me.
By the way, I tought my daughter a handy tip to use if she was attacked, and it doesn’t involve a gun. Simply press your thumbs deep within his eye socket, and then pull his eyes out. We practiced it until I got worried about losing my own eyes. That, combined with the fact that she was an NCAA Div. I athlete, protected her better than a handgun.
Ekim spews:
If REPUGNANTs really wanted to do something about protecting women from rape they would be all for, you know, tracking down rapists rather than forcing women to have to rely only on themselves.
There are rape kits everywhere sitting on shelves just waiting to be processed. But that would be a waste of money. REPUGNANTs can’t have that.
Busting pot smokers, well that is OK.
Ekim spews:
I remember a news report on the radio some years back.
A woman woke up to find a REPUGNANT rapist in her bed. She didn’t reach for a gun because she didn’t have one. Instead she reached for his nuts and held on for dear life.
She eventually got him to her front door and tossed him out. The REPUGNANT rapist fell to the floor several times but she managed to drag him back to his feet. She was of course still holding him by his nuts.
The cops had no problem finding the REPUGNANT rapist since he for some reason left his clothes and ID behind when he left. He was at home in considerable pain.
One nut was badly damaged and the other had to be removed.
