Does this meet your standards:
Since coming to Congress Himes has voted for spending TRILLIONS of $$$ that we don't have, and over-regulating the private sector, which is the *real* creator of jobs!!
We taxpayers are sick to death of phony "stimulus" spending and wrong-headed legislation, such as Obamacare, that have only made the DEBT, the economy and the high UNEMPLOYMENT worse!!
We remember how Obama laughed about the fact that the last "Stimulus" bill's promised "shovel ready jobs" were NOT so "shovel ready"!! Those jobs turned out to be mostly temporary, and mostly UNION jobs as payoffs to campaign donors, which "cost at a minimum an average of $228,055 each, according to data released [in Feb.] by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
No thanks, Jim, to your latest feckless excuse to keep your name and photo in the public's eye. I for one am feeling like you and the other STATISTS in congress have been constantly shoving your thumbs in our eyes, while enslaving future generations with your "venture Socialism" and unconscionable SPENDING! :-(

Michael, thanks for your reply on the "Don't draw attention" article, but I am still confused about your statements that you "closed only temporarily" the article which I queried you about, below, on Monday.
The http://trumbull.patch.com/articles/least-surprising-news-story-of-the-year article still shows being CLOSED to comments.
Thanks.

Michael--just curious why you closed this discussion:
http://trumbull.patch.com/articles/least-surprising-news-story-of-the-year
Did someone complain about it? Do the Huffpo people have any input into that process?

Michael: if you like nearly everything on TV in England then you must be a big snooker (snoooo-cur) fan ... it seems like 50% of what is on Brit tv is snooker matches.
