RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 07/29/18> Official announcement forth coming: US Government to relocate Nation Capitol to Las Vegas, NV
I really hate to see you besmirch the reputation of such a fine town as Las Vegas with out any argument. So here goes.
I was in Las Vegas for a little while on Friday, all day Thursday and a while on Wednesday. Otherwise known as 3 days two nights in Vegasese.
Penn and Teller are relatively honest show business folk and I guarantee they would never even begin to try some of the outrage our Congress enacts. It's not illusion in DC, it is just outright lies. Illusion suggests that there is a possibility that a thing is as described.
Don't you go be giving prostitutes a bad name, Prostitution is a contract for a service between two consenting adults. I never, ever gave my consent to the bandits in DC.
It's a pretty slick setup to pass a little money back and forth between lobbyists and elected officials, but there is a flaw in that plan. If they do it that way the congress member would have to pay income tax on the amount and you KNOW that isn't going to happen.
In the end, I think Las Vegas is simply way too honest to be able to host a fundamentally dishonest business like the government.
Thanks for a great post. I enjoyed it, obviously.
Thank God your trip is over and you are back where you can keep in contact and point out the error in my logic, everything you detailed makes perfect sense especially about the cash out. Now please delete your comment, so that that staffer won't see the flaws in the move to Las Vegas. Otherwise they will just keep the government in DC and it will be business as usual.
I don't know that this is a more dishonest area than DC that they could move the government to. The only other place that comes to mind would be Chicago, but with all the murders that take place there each week I think they would fear for their lives there.
It would be hard for them to concentrate on their number one priority, which is getting re-elected, if the were worrying about getting shot everyday. Damn, some of them did get shot in the DC area not that long ago while they were conducting some very high level top priority government business called softball practice or maybe it was baseball, some type of ball game though. So maybe they already are dealing with that fear.
I guess they could dig out that old piece of paper known as the constitution and actually start following that and then maybe their fears could subside, that might be an idea they could consider.
Cancel deleting your comment, the best idea might have been in the last sentence of this reply, and I am sure the staffer will read all the comments and not just the post. So maybe there is a chance something good will come from this daily dose.
Thanks Tom. Glad to have you back.
