I found an awesome site where you can rate Congress and Senate Members.
www.gradegov.com
You are also able to write them a letter that will get posted on the site and forwarded, along with your grade, to whatever Congress or Senate member.  One thing I really like about this site is that after becoming a member it only allows you to do one review every 24 hours.  This will keep people from spam-grading or ranting on and on.
So far I have reviewed 13 members:(I) Joseph I. Lieberman B
(R) Joseph Cao F
(D) Corrine Brown F
(R) Mike Pence B
(D) John P. Murtha F
(R) Michele Bachmann A
(D) Harry Reid F
(D) Sheila Jackson-Lee D (I accidentally hit D but meant F!!!)
(D) Charles B. Rangel F
(D) Arlen Specter F
(D) Alan Grayson F
(D) Barney Frank F
(D) Nancy Pelosi F
I would not mind seeing Michelle Bachmann running for either  President or chosen for a Vice-President position in 2012.  Beautiful, smart and most importantly not a friggin socialist.

Schicklgruber Bed & Breakfast - Braunau am Inn, Austria

www.biography.com/articles/Adolf-Hitler-9340144

I found out that Hitlers childhood home is for sale in Braunau am Inn, Austria for…$3 million dollars!  I have tried to convince my wife that we should buy it and turn it into a bed & breakfast.  No dice.  We don’t have $3 million, she does not want to move to Austria and more importantly she is not interested in feeding my insane desire to wear a really cool SS uniform at the front desk.

I am not sure what the best name for my new bed & breakfast would be.  Hitlers fathers last name was Schicklgruber and this would add to the under lying historical tone by naming it the Schicklgruber Bed & Breakfast.  The Hitler Inn would be great for marketing and would certainly stand out however Schicklgruber Bed & Breakfast rolls off the tongue…if you speak Austrian.

Braunau am Inn, Austria looks very pretty and I have been told by many that have been to this region that know me if I ever go I will probably never leave.

I would like to know how J.Crew comes up with their names for colors?  It’s as if the owner of the company has a kid (I am pretty sure is named “Heather”) that just graduated  from college with a degree in creative writing.  I remember years ago that their catalogs would have these short paragraphs on every other page that would make you want to vomit.  “Fall days.  Sunny and Crisp.  Leaves falling while friends reminisce.  Wool cardigans to top it off.”  Ugh…I want to throw up!  They once had a color called “Fun.”  WTF is that?  I can’t be the only one who thinks that J.Crew is absolutely full of shit when it comes to their color descriptions.  Let’s take a look at some of their F-tard colors:

You know it’s getting rough out there with the economy when a Cylon, a.k.a. “Toaster” can’t get a job.
