Another day and another dollar, I hope, anyway. The week-end is here already. Today is… National Roof-Over-Your-Head Day. I hope you and yours have one.
Ron Santo died late Thursday evening in a hospital in Arizona. God Bless the Santo family. I will say a Hail Mary for them today. I am not a Cubs fan but Ron Santo was hard to not like. I will miss him.
Watch this video: pretty cool.
What’s going on in the world? Where’s Charlie? Thought you were innocent Mr. Rangel. That is not the way this mess ended.
For the first time in nearly three decades, the House censured one of its members Thursday, voting 333 to 79 to formally punish Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) for reflecting poorly on the institution and bringing discredit to the House. Seventy-seven Democrats and two Republicans -- Reps. Peter King and Don Young -- voted against.
The House also voted earlier, 146 to 257, to reject a lesser punishment of reprimand for the congressman.
The House also voted earlier, 146 to 257, to reject a lesser punishment of reprimand for the congressman.
Congress has censured twenty-two members in the over 200 years it has existed. It is the second most severe punishment. Expulsion is the next punishment. He was punished for failing to report income eleven separate times. He was on various income tax committees but claimed he didn’t know the law. H & R Block could have told him the law. A computer program that costs $50.00 could have told him. I would think someone on his staff of ocer 10 would know the law, especially considering
The average citizen goes to jail for filing eleven false tax returns but not Congressman. Check put the quote below. How could you say this with a straight face? What the House did does diminish his life and service. Rangel still claims he did not enrich himself through his actions yet he was ordered by the House to repay back taxes to the U. S. Treasury. How did he not enrich himself when he unilaterally and illegally took an interest free loan from the U. S. Government?
"Nothing we say or do here today will in any way diminish his service to our country or our gratitude for his service within this House or as a hero of the Korean War," Lofgren said. "But that service does not excuse the fact that Rep. Rangel violated laws, he violated regulations, he violated the rules of this House and he violated our standards of conduct."
