Jack Kingston is an idiot

I fell off my chair when I read

This

"Keeping us up here eats away at families," said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who typically flies home on Thursdays and returns to Washington on Tuesdays. "Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says."

I feel SO bad that he has to actually work 5 days a week. Its a strain on your family? Don't run. Your a phony Republican anyways. Kingston, like the GOP generally only cares about catering to the extreme right on social issues, while going squishy on spending.

Good job to Steny Hoyer for expanding the work week.

Padilla

This

is inexcusible.

I speak in pretty simple terms. The Government ran a foul of habeas corpus rights and held a man in a military brig indefinitely. He was held without charge. I dont know if Padilla is guilty or innocent but a federal judge has said the charges of conspiracy are unsubstantiated.

Because of the fact that Padilla was kept in solitary confinement he has now gone insane. Torture changes the way someone acts.

Personally, I hold the Government to a little higher standard than this.
