While You and I were working two jobs to try and make it…..
638 members of Congress were given free 2 trips worth a total of $6,000 annually between 2000 and 2005. The top destinations were Israel, Mexico, Germany and China respectively.

Is it any wonder that they don’t relate to anyone but the rich and elite. After all that is who is paying for their fun in the sun, while we toil till after dark and get none.

Attempting to do away with free travel is meeting resistance….seems like the pubs want to be known as reformers, but doing away with trips to the golf course is meddling.

1. Boner's got a nice tan
Americans want their elected representatives to have glowing tans.

2. Only tan I've got is from the UV burn from my torch.
My second job isn't much better where I don't get home until 10 PM every night just so I can balance my income between my own business and a second job.
