Bye Bye Ted

Ted Stevens, the Alaska Senator who declared his preference to being hauled out of the Senate chambers in a coffin rather than see his per pork projects denied passage, will perhaps be removed from the chambers for another reason.

I am glad Stevens is on the way out. He long ago forgot, if he ever knew in the first place, what it meant to be a good steward of money belonging to the public. It is overspending buffoons like Stevens that helped to land our country in its state of almost insurmountable debt.

We will survive better without him.
