Correlation not Causation, But Still

Off to wander aimlessly around the Capitol. Before I go, Vernon (Vern)Buchanan is, according to CREW, one of the most corrupt members of Congress. According to Open Secrets, the bulk of his "campaign" financing comes from wealthy individuals and corporations and, oddly enough while most congressmen and women who received money from the Chamber of Congress earned between 1k and 2.5k, Buchanan earned 10k.

    I think you should say he received 10,000 rat hater than earned, although he probably did do something for the money, so perhaps you are right.

    I was looking at a Gunnar bike today, people in Wisconsin definitely know how to make bikes.

    The Gunnar's look nice; but, Surly are cheaper and nearly as nice.
