Ludicrous, preposterous, absurd

This bail out bill passing is just plain ridiculous. The original 3 page proposal turned into a 451 page manuscript. They basically just bought the votes by tacking on horribly bizarre and outlandish "extras" for pet projects.

"SEC. 503. EXEMPTION FROM EXCISE TAX FOR CERTAIN WOODEN ARROWS DESIGNED FOR USE BY CHILDREN."

Seriously.

It might be worth your time to look at the incumbents in your states up for reelection and how they voted.

I agree. It is ridiculous and I do plan on checking out the voting pattern of my reps and senators. Then again, I live in New York, I'm represented by Hilary...of all people!
