Alright, the voters know the score!

An astounding 72 percent of Americans say they are unhappy with Republicans in Congress, according to a recent poll.

They sure do.

The findings may not have a strong bearing on the GOP’s midterm elections chances. Recent polls show the Republicans have an edge in both the Senate and the House.

Americans may hate one side more than the other…but by golly they will still vote for ’em.

At least they stand for something…awful…well, more awful.

Attaturk

In 1949, I decided to wrestle professionally, starting my career in Texas. In my debut, I defeated Abe Kashey, with former World Heavyweight boxing Champion Jack Dempsey as the referee. In 1950, I captured the NWA Junior Heavyweight title. In 1953, I won the Chicago version of the NWA United States Championship. I became one of the most well-known stars in wrestling during the golden age of television, thanks to my exposure on the Dumont Network, where I wowed audiences with my technical prowess. I was rumored to be one of the highest paid wrestlers during the 1950s, reportedly earning a hundred thousand dollars a year. My specialty was "the Sleeper Hold" and the founding of modern, secular, Turkey.

Oops, sorry, that's the biography of Verne Gagne with a touch of Mustafa Kemal.

I'm just an average moron who in reality is a practicing civil rights and employment attorney in fly-over country .
