Tanning the Buns of Bums

Why should I get my panties in a wad over such a small contingent of congressional dupes and their "wink, wink" trip to Jamaica to discuss trade and security issues?

Of course, this isn't the problem, it is the symptom of a problem. Government is too big. Government has its manipulative tendrils in all aspects of our lives, and this sort of junket (regardless of who paid) does not help any American anywhere (unless you consider tanning the backsides of a handfull of aging caucasians beneficial to greater American society.)

Can this trip be more thinly veiled?

Rep. A: Bob, we need to make certain that luggage is tied down. You know, completely secure.

Rep. B: Yes, Frank, I will make certain the load is secure. By the way, do you have a beach towel?

Rep. A: Sure. You got any suntan lotion?

Rep. B: Yep, Coppertone, with sun-block. Wanna trade?

Unison: Cha-ching!
