1. Interesting bit about Chip Cravaak in there.

"Mr. Cravaack has said he drew unemployment benefits during a furlough from Northwest in the early 1990s. He did not respond to several requests for an interview, nor to an e-mail with questions about his views and about whether his family has drawn on other benefits programs. This account is based on a review of his public statements."

So I assume "Chipper" sucked up quite a bit more in benefits than he's willing to admit to. These teabagger types really think they deserve anything they get. It's the "others" (minorities) that are the big drain on the system.
