Congress of Liars?

Yesterday on Michele Bachman said on the Ed Schultz show "A plumber who owns his own business would have to pay income taxes on gross sales receipts that exceeded $250,000.  Considering she has a masters degree in tax law, she must know no one pays income tax on gross sales receipts.  She made a "material misrepresentation of the facts" in an effort to manipulate people's understanding of Obama's plan with regards to the Bush Tax Rates expiring.  Unfortunately, knowingly spreading incorrect/inaccurate information is something that has become commonplace in Congress.

If a real estate agent makes a material misrepresentation of the facts, it's an ethics violation.  They lose their license and suffer civil liability, but our elected leaders are allowed to like to us with little/no repercussions.  Why don't we force our politicians to adhere to the level ethics we require of a Realtor?  Why do we allow them to lie to us?

Movie Review: Mask

A wonderful movie about a teenager who has learned to to be happy in spite living with a disorder that disfigured his face and eventually kills him.

I really enjoy the movie because it gives an subtle look at family life of a motorcycle club.  While it's not the point of the movie, you really get to see the brother hood and family love that exists inside a club and the families that are affiliated with the club.

In this case, Gar, played by Sam Elliott (one of my favorite actors) re-enters the life of Rocky Dennis played by Eric Stoltz because Gar is dating Rockys mother, Rusty, played by Cher.  Gar is a member of the fictitious motorcycle club called The Turks.

The scenes of the Turks taking care of each other, taking care of Rocky's family, socializing together and riding together are what make this one of my favorite movies.
