Another thing I am thankful for is that Christie Vilsack Carpet Bagger wife of Tom Vilsack, the architect of the largest increase in food stamps ever,lost her bid for my congressional district that she never lived in.
Iowas’ gain is the nations loss, good riddance to bad rubbish!

Somewhere out there in the vast expanse of the Nevada desert amongst the dirt and the rocks, the cacti, and the creepy-crawly creatures that squirm across the earth in the night — a sad Cowboy poet rhymes a woeful song — while he pokes a slithering Harry Reid with a stick.

All these government agencies make me want to hurl. They are always wasting money on writing and rewriting histories of their agencies which amount to no more than fan fiction for those in power. Blech.

I can see portraits of people like POTUS, VP,Speakers, majority & minority leaders, etc.
But not for any of these regulatory agencies.
These people are parasites anyway.
I don’t have pictures of any parasites I’ve had.

The Environmental Protection Agency spent nearly $40,000 on a portrait of Administrator Lisa P. Jackson,

I hope they didn't Oil based paint.

Let them all pull down their pants and sit on the photocopier. It would cost about a dime and no one would notice the difference.

Well, we need *something* to pull off the walls and throw on the bonfire. That’ll do nicely.

Vilsack? Isn’t he the racist who fired that African American woman via text message after he saw a partial youtube clip?

How about this: offer private citizens the right to bid and/or pay for such portraits. After the person is no longer holding the office the painting can be donated to whatever national collection now holds onto them, or the sponsor can take ownership. No taxpayer dollars needed. If no one sponsors, it can be a photo portrait. I’m sure Soros et al would love an oil of Eric Holder for the main dining room…

I gotta get into the portrait painting gig. Sounds lucrative.
