Rest In Peace Rep. Carson

The city of Indianapolis lost a noble person today. Rep. Julia Carson (Democrat) passed away today of cancer. As I mentioned and shared thoughts at Political Yen Yang, she was a good woman.
Yes, she was very much against us in Iraq and she was shamelessly propped up by local Democrats to maintain power.
But:
“when she found a welfare cheat, she didn’t just take off the rolls. She sued them to get money back for the taxpayer.”

Carson once gave excellent political advice to a student of mine to get a seat on the student council. The student was told to remember the little person and every vote is a vote. If the Indy GOP wanted to throw a celebratory post-election party, it was at the Westin. Her party was in her garage. Lesson learned.

We should not judge a politician soley by the letter after his or her name. We can learn valuable lessons sometimes from those we are supposed to oppose.

She was a strong advocate for senior citizens. And they showed their appreciation by keeping her in office. Seniors show up at the polls.

i used to work welfare fraud - we worked all our own cases WITHOUT the aid of a single politician - i did all the civil suits and the investigators did the criminal cases.

i've never heard of this type of action by a politician.

rip anyway.

Well, Kudos to the good work she did, and RIP.

Kissinger Doing the Weather
Back in the early 90s, I awoke with a wicked hang over one morning. As I sat on the floor watching the morning news, I swore I saw Harold Kissinger doing the weather. No one believed me. Professors discounted me. I have been vindicated.
