Remember the good old days when we sent people to Washington to steal as much money as they could from other states and send it back to us homefolks? Some people were great at it. There isnt a rock in West Virginia that isnt named for the late Robert Byrd. Or his wife. To this day, thanks to old Bob, WV gets $2.22 back for every dollar its denizens send to Washington. South Carolina only gets $1.35 back for every buck of tax revenue but it has eight major military bases that bring in about $16 billion a year. But, by far the nations biggest welfare queen is Mississippi, which gets a staggering $3.07 for every penny it sends to DC. You would think that that would make Thad Cochran the most popular man in Mississippi but he appears to be about to lose his long-held seat to a Tea Party guy who has pledged to go to Washington to clean up this wasteful spending mess. He plans to do this right after he cleans up the mess from having one of his aides caught in a nursing home photographing Cochrans wife who has Alzheimers and three other aides who accidentally got themselves locked inside a courthouse (with the voting machines) on the night of the primaries. And thats all I have to say about that.
