How Do You Spell "Thug?"

How Do You Spell "Thug?"

Christmas in D.C.

To Senators Wyden and Merkley:

You guys just aren't getting with the program: Ms. Landrieu got $300 million for her vote, Mr. Lincoln (no, definitely NOT Abe) got $100 million for his vote, even Mr. Dodd got another hundred million, and you guys got zip-zilch-nada, not so much as a lump of carbon-intensive coal, even though you consistently follow Party dogma. Surely you two can do better. After all, it's not really a "bribe" if it's called a "request for bipartisan unity."

Oregon could sure use a few hundred million BarryBucks (so called since the Dollar's demise appears all but imminent) for "healthcare:" think of all the "healthy" things some of that cash could do: the "green" bicycle paths (that would be paved with recycled asphalt, of course, and painted with recycled, eco-friendly paint), or the eco-friendly pedestrian bridges across the Columbia and Willamette rivers (using recycled pieces from the apparently antiquated I-5 and obviously dilapidated Sellwood bridges which are only a few billion dollars short of being "improved," or some gilt-edged "eco-exercise facility" which could be added onto every state office building, thus insuring health and longevity for our public servants, and thereby saving excessive recruitment and training costs to the taxpayers, or perhaps even more BarryBucks for the "greening" of all Federal buildings in Oregon by covering the exteriors with moss and ivy, you know, the local biota formerly regarded as "invasive" and "destructive," but now regarded as "eco-chic," and it all could be built by a cadre of "BarryOBots," the all-volunteer domestic security force propounded by the Great and Terrible Oz, er, Mr. Obama during one of his seemingly endless campaign appearances.

So, Gentlemen, Senators, as we approach this Post-Christian Winter Holiday Break from your Solonic duties, put aside your personal ethics and send Oregon a little multi-million-dollar gift in the spirit of the season, keeping the "X" in "Xmas" of course, and remember, it's the "little things" that count.
