GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY (Hypocrites!)

The liberal left Demo-Commucrats have gotten their way with this $800 Trillion 'Economic Bailout' package, in addition to the $125 M,ill,ion bank bailout. This pork-laden monster will continue the same-old, same-old without any REAL solutions.

This from the same bunch who can't pass any MEANINGFUL legislation, since they're too busy voting themselves raises and naming streets and declaring holidays. Seriously.

This is a 'Citizens Against Government Waste' website which details the excess. Like the fact that the AVERAGE House of Representatives' salary was $162,000. Until they VOTED THEMSELVES A $4,700 RAISE!

R.I.P. EVEL KNIEVEL

Dude. The greatest stuntman of my generation finally cashed it in. Oddly enough, he didn't go out in a fiery crash. Who can forget the "abc's Wide World of Sports" intro replaying his ill-fated jump of the Caesar's Palace fountain? Or the anti-climactic Snake River Canyon attempt (after he was not allowed near the Grand Canyon)?
An entire generation of would-be daredevils (myself included) was inspired to ride recklessly and build ramps to jump ditches, wagons, culverts, garbage cans or whatever we could scrounge. Johnson & Johnson made a FORTUNE in bandages and medicine off of my neighborhood alone.
And for the record, my 'Evel Knievel' figure with motorcycle and gyro was an 'action figure', NOT a doll. He was MY generation's 'G.I. Joe', a hero/hapless victim subjected to whatever daring stunts or poorly executed adventures we could dream up. (Note: per Sam Anthony, the 'Steve Austin:Six Million Dollar Man' was also an 'action figure' and not a doll.)
Burials. Drownings. High-impact collisions. Parachuting from trees.(For the record, the wire-reinforced soft vinyl construction of the Evel Knievel was nowhere NEAR as durable or flame-resistant as the G.I. Joe)
Here, for your enjoyment, is a video tribute:
