    I agree, but it just doesn't make sense with it not on the news. The GOP would be trolling this out for everyone to see if it was there and indeed true.

    No I didn't reread what I said. And you guys have got to get over the notion that if it is not on the net it must not be true.

    It has made the FoxNews pages......


    ...In a move that has our elected representative thumbing their noses at the American people, Congress has voted itself a WHOPPING $93,000 per person INCREASE in their annual stipend! This move has bumped up the annual booty for members of Congress from its current $1.3 to $1.6 million range by $93,000 per man, woman or child in the House of Representatives. And Senators, I am told, receive close to DOUBLE that amount per Senator. So, if my math is correct, Congress voted itself a $40 million increase in spending money. Bringing the total take (Congress + Senate) close to $900,000,000...

    Somebody e-mail Maddow & Olbermann & let them know....maybe they can get to the bottom of this.........

    At least that legitimizes the clip but it doesn't prove the facts presented and we all know there are two sides to every story.

    Bro Curtis, that is a fax news blog and not the actual news. Why is it only there? Why hasn't even a right wing newspaper carried this story?
