Democrats and Republicans working together...to get a pay increase:
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Despite low approval ratings and hard feelings from last year's elections, Democrats and Republicans in the House are reaching out for an approximately $4,400 pay raise that would increase their salaries to almost $170,000.
"The cost-of-living raise endorsed Wednesday evening gets lawmakers back on track for automatic pay raises after a fight between the parties last year and again in January killed the pay increase due this year. That was the first interruption of the annual congressional pay boost in seven years."
Mayor Mike just called in. He wanted to tell Congress to "Get Real!" Hey Mike, simmer down over there. Only in Washington do people have the nuggets to ask for more money to do nothing. Well them and Roger Clemens. Well at least the Spice Girls are reuniting for a world tour. Now I feel MUCH better. Oy Vey.
