Remember when your parents taught you about honor & character?

[Even if they didn't know what they were talking about, or could not be exemplars, themselves.]

How is Martha Stewart still revered?

How is Michelle Bachman a member of Congress?

How can anyone think George Steinbrenner should be in the Hall of Fame, given how he attempted to fix the game by buying all the best players - and ruined the finances of small-market teams?

How can anyone in Kentucky be proud to have either of those Senators?

How can it be that so many Repugnican players become commentators on Fox (Pretend) News - then Fox's acolytes still believe it is - or ever was - fair and balanced? How come people aren't laughing out loud at all that appears on Fox/Fix?

How is it that such jokers/liars as Gingrich,  _____ [I can't write or ponder the next name that comes to mind], Romney & Huckabee are seen by many as serious possibilities to become our President? That's as absurd - and appalling - as the idea that the dumbo-born-again-can't-read son of a one-term Prez might be elected! ... Oh, wait ....

But, on the other hand, at least we have a House of Reps we can count on not to spend money wildly and recklessly - as they have assured us the believe in.
