Issa is a piece of work; unfortunately, I end up listening to his dribble on the local news when I'm too lazy to change the channel. What I want to know how people like that get into the positions they get into? It's like at my condo complex. We have a "card reader" that you have to drive past to open the security gate. Once the gate is open, it stays open for a few minutes. So if there are several cars they can all come through at the same time. Two things about this: there is no real "security" in the security gate system, because anyone who wants to get in just follows another person in. Duh! It's all proforma, for which the association (i.e., I) pay a hefty fee to maintain. Second, I am always amazed by the people who drive out of their way to go past the card reader when they are the 2nd, 3rd or 4th person in line coming home at night. I mean, DUH, the gate stays open. There is no need to slow down the whole line of cars for each one to go over by the card reader. And the! ! se generally are folks driving expensive German vehicles (BMWs and Mercedes). Now if they are that dumb, how do they make enough money to live in my complex and drive an expensive car like that? I am relegated to a Toyota (Ok, it's a Prius, one of those cars the "liberals" drive).
I just don't get it. Dumb people with positions and dollars. Something's rotten around here. OK, I'm done.
