Newton's First Law Is, “An Object At Rest Tends To Stay At Rest” | Eastern NC Now

The 21st Century’s Finest Example Of Newton’s First Law Is A Member Of Congress

ENCNow
    Members of Congress begin to take their Membership in Congress for granted after about 7 weeks. A fine example of the Smartfella's First Law of Inertia follows.

    Congressional Record
    111th Congress (2009-2010)

    Congressional Record article 11 of 354
    CONGRATULATING SENATOR ROBERT C. BYRD -- (Senate - November 18, 2009)

    Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. President, I am glad I had the opportunity to hear the comments of the Senator from Iowa on Senator Byrd. We all have enormous respect for Senator Byrd. I had a chance this morning to say a word about him and to reflect on, among other things, that when I first came here as a young aide 42 years ago to Senator Baker, Senator Byrd had already been here for 10 years as a Senator.


    Did you pay attention to what you just read? Did you take note that the 42 Year Guy said "42 Years Ago" & "had already been here for 10 years as a Senator" before the 42 Year Guy first entered the building?

    The English Language was never used any better in the history of the British Parliament as when Leo Amery addressed Prime Minister Chamberlain & his Cohorts in 1940...

    "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!"

    Leo Amery in 1940 was almost exactly quoting Oliver Cromwell from 1653.

    I wish someone would deliver an almost exact quote patterned after Messrs. Amery and Cromwell's words to our current Congress.

    The sad part is there isn't a chance in hell our Current Congress would do as requested because 1% of the average American is a Millionaire but just over 50% of Members of Congress are Millionaires.

    I tried to Google how many of them were already millionaires before they were elected but could not find out that bit of information.

    What? You think I made the above "The sad part..." paragraph up? How could you think that of me? Click or copy and paste this link...

    Would I kid u?

In the olden days, many of those that went to congress already had the money of the elite.

In these times, people that go to congress often acquire the money of the elite while there.

Good post Smartfella.
