But I Can't Feed on the Powerless When My Cup's Already Overfilled

One thing is for certain, the GOP won't go hungry any time soon. The real question is will there be any room left for tea?

WE All Would be remiss if we didn't mention the Patriotic fact the GOP rode to power in the House of Representatives on the myth that they had learned their lesson from days gone by.  Early indications are the GOP learned it didn't spend near enough.  They seemed poised not to make the same mistake twice three times.

To lead the House financial services committee Republicans chose Rep. Spencer "Big Bank" Bachus from Alabama.  Mr. Bachus is no stranger to big spending.  He loves pork spending.  He voted for TARP twice-- a big tea bagger no no.  He voted for the unfunded trillion dollar expansion to Medicare.  He voted for the very popular and successful Cash for Clunkers, another tea bagger groining shot.  And he firmly believes tax cuts do not have to be offset or paid for.  Remember, in Republican circles, Bahcus is a "numbers guy."  So we all should take a big sigh of relief.

To chair the House Appropriations Committee Republicans selected Rep. Harold Rogers of Kentucky.  Rogers is best known in his home district by his hometown newspaper's nickname of the "Prince of Pork."  He's requested almost a trillion dollars in pork in the last five years alone.  135 earmarked projects in just the last two years!  As if that's not enough to solidify his fiscal conservatism, Rogers directed some $17 million in pork money to an airport in his district that really doesn't exist.  $17 million for an airport to nowhere?  Wheee!

Now remember, don't ever bring any of this up.  This is the New and Improved GOP.  They are fighting a Revolution! in this country to save us from the evil islamoterroristfascistliberals.  If we mention the past, we are only proving that we are not Serious and Patriotic Americans.  My goodness, it's not like it wasn't just two years ago the Republicans turned over to the new Democratic administration a $1.4 trillion deficit.  Ancient history people.  Get with the program.
