How many is that now? 60? 61?

McCain hires another lobbyist:
Two this week alone. Maybe his plan to get the Washington lobbyists away from Congress is to hire every single one of them. Then, if elected, they can have nice spots in the White House, instead.

He already has 59 of them working for him. What's two more?

And people wondered why "Keating Five" McCain pushed the Escalation in Iraq.

Thanks for joining the March19 Blogswarm Against the Iraq War. I'll be looking forward to your post on that day.

McCain = Bush Lite = third term of Georgie Bush...

ha! You stole my next joke! Its stunning that McCain has *so many* lobbyists working for him.

I think Clinton has 19 (she's the next highest to Obama's 9) so does that mean one McCain is greedier than three Clintons?

ellroon, please forgive the copy-pasted off-topic post, but you're one of the regulars at the YDD...

Site outage notice...

The Yellow Doggerel Democrat site's host has suffered a major problem following a catastrophic power loss early Sunday morning which killed a lot of servers. The site has been down and up and down (currently down) for about 12 hours now, and while I've been notified they're working on it, I don't see things coming back right away. My alternate Blogspot site, which you may want to bookmark, is the YDD Annex. There's not much there at the moment, but it has been my alternate site for more than three years now.

Bryan of Why Now? has the same web host as the YDD; he seems to have set up temporary quarters at the Why Now Annex. Hey, don't miss your Iditarod fix! :)

And to think I had a good McCain-whacking post almost ready to go! Back in a day or so, I hope. Sigh.

Anytime, Steve. No need to ask for permission.

I saw that you and Bryan were out of commission and finally remembered your annex.

Blogger was snarfed for a few hours a day or so back and I felt lost. Your outage went on for hours and hours.

Looks like you are back up now but I'll keep the annex in mind next time.

Honorable and lobbyist do not belong in the same sentence...
