Democrats in Congress deserve a D-

A Hat Tip to Tony Phyrillas for steering me to this article in The Washington Post about the failure of the Democratic-controlled Congress to change the culture of corruption in Washington, D.C., (or pretty much do anything else in 2007).

I'd give the Democrats a D- for their first year in power. In other words, changing 30-40 members of Congress from R to D didn't make a difference.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

And I wish Nancy Pelosi would stop her bitchin' about how the Republicans won't let her have her way. Grow up. Either lead or get out of the way.

Pennsylvania leads in Congressional pork spending

Interesting post today at TONY PHYRILLAS about how the so-called reform Democrats who ran in 2006 have spent their first year in Congress bringing pork barrel projects to their home districts.

If you need any further proof that Democrats can't be trusted, read the article.

Among the 20 worst pork spenders in Congress are five members of the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation: Rep. Christopher Carney, D-10th; Rep. Jason Altmire, D-4th; Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-8th; and Rep. Joe Sestak, D-7th. Pennsyvlania Sen. Bob Casey Jr. also made the list.

Now don't you feel silly for voting for these Democrats just because you didn't like George W. Bush? You can correct your mistake in 2008 (or 2012 in Casey's case).
