December 13th, 2006 at 1:23 pmThis might be a good thing, considering the harm they could have done.
December 13th, 2006 at 1:26 pmI will fix this quote:
There we go. That is what we call truth in reporting.
December 13th, 2006 at 1:28 pmHow does this number compare to the last 2 years of the Clinton regime?
December 13th, 2006 at 1:29 pmYou talk about this like it was a BAD thing, but I betcha a BUNCH of these here places was named after the greatest preznit there never was, and by that I mean Ronald Wilson Reagan!
Rest in peace, Ronnie! We’s watchin’ yer back!
December 13th, 2006 at 1:30 pmGod Bless the Congressional-Military-Industrial Complex!
December 13th, 2006 at 1:31 pmThe Jack Abramhoff Post-it Office
December 13th, 2006 at 1:33 pm(cause he wishes now he’d used post-its instead of e-mail)
There we go with the out of control egos again. The root of so many of our problems, ego.

December 13th, 2006 at 1:45 pmWhat does it matter? That was a republican Congress also. SO, if those numbers are worse than these, then that means the republcains were just as bad then.
December 13th, 2006 at 5:46 pmHow does this number compare to the last 2 years of the Clinton regime? Comment by Douglas G.
If it’s important for you to know, go ask at a neocon site or do some research on your own. Isn’t the “well, Clinton…” retort getting a bit worn out and tired to you, yet?
December 13th, 2006 at 5:56 pmJust think how much worse off America would be today, if those post offices hadn’t gotten renamed. Then try to tell me how awful this Congress has been.
December 13th, 2006 at 6:02 pmRonnie even has a foundation dedicated to promoting his memory, The Reagan Legacy Foundation. Of course, if you need a foundation just to promote your legacy, it must not have been so much to brag about to begin with.
December 13th, 2006 at 6:06 pmReally important stuff. On the other hand, look at the consequences of what they did do!
December 13th, 2006 at 6:21 pmInteresting how the only sponsors mentioned in the article were Democrats. The liberal media at work.
(The only Republican mentioned was a long-serving senator who was going to have a bridge named after him. The sponsor of that bill was left out.)
December 13th, 2006 at 6:23 pmA government building by any other name would smell just as musty.

December 13th, 2006 at 6:32 pmAdd Narcissism to their list of unethical actions… Sheesh.
December 13th, 2006 at 6:41 pmA fine record.
December 13th, 2006 at 8:29 pmHopefully the ferensics will dig up the truth of past six years.
Can I get a post office named after me? Can I? Please? Can I?
The Gregor Samsa post office. I like how that sounds.
I think I have some money for that Congressman who can help me.
So, can I? Plleeaaasse?
December 13th, 2006 at 9:57 pmActually this is probably the safest type of legislation for the 109th. That and horse meat legislation.
Anything more serious than that and we’re kissing our a$$es goodbye!!
December 13th, 2006 at 10:48 pmROFLMAO!! You see, the more changes, the less changes. This will probably also be the case with the change in Iraq-strategy. No change in the content, just a change of the guy explaning to us how we shouldn’t be told the real strategy for reasons of national security.

Do-Nothing Congress at its best.
December 14th, 2006 at 10:00 amLook on the bright side- when they were busy naming post offices, it kept them out of trouble. And given the horrible stuff they were doing the rest of the time, this is a good thing….
December 14th, 2006 at 11:39 amAnd we pay these ass%2les how much a year? Not forgetting their staff and all the other expenses either.
