#1 An honest politician is once bought stays bought.

#2 When I was an ink stained wretch, I worked with an older guy who said newspapers - and other news outlets - should be banned from using the terms "public money, federal dollars, etc." The only allowed construct should be "money the government took from people who earned it on threat of being sent to jail."

Likewise, the construct "former congressman (or other officeholder)" should be banned. The correct phrase should be "So and so, who was rejected by the voters (or cashed in on a lobbying gig, or both)"

#4 So, Frank, that's 10 News in San Diego, huh? Funny they should run a story like that. Some folks might question whether it's even newsworthy since Kinzinger is just a private citizen now and not even from San Diego. I'd say his only claim to fame is that he and Liz Cheney were the only Republicans on the J6 committee and, as a result, they both lost their seats in Congress. But the folks at 10 News never miss a chance to take a swipe at Trump no matter how unimportant the story really is.

#6 I've gotten to where I can't stand watching any of the ABC, NBC or CBS channels. I think the best way to treat those people is to turn the TV off. But Mrs. Uluque still watches that nonsense so I caught a glimpse of Kinzinger as I was taking my beverage out to the patio.
