I think any resident can collect rain water around their residence, but rural areas hate it when you divert a source of water from a town, village, or community. Whatever the local rules are. Just keeping the lawn, or garden watered can be expensive in Texas in the summer.

Charlie Rangel, tax evader and corruptocrat, is suing John Boehner to have his House censure overturned, which passed on a bipartisan 333-79 vote. A censure is basically a public scolding saying "you've been a naughty boy." Wearing a pro-second amendment t-shirt to school will get you worse punishment than Rangel received.

Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel is suing Speaker John Boehner and six other lawmakers, alleging problems with the House ethics investigation that led to his censure in 2010.

In a complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Washington, the New York Democrat alleges "numerous, flagrant, knowing and intentional violations" of his due process rights.

Rangel, 82, seeks to overturn the censure and says in the court papers that he suffers "irreparable harm that cannot be compensated by money damages."

Rangel's office referred questions to his attorney, Jay Goldberg, who did not return a phone call seeking comment.

The lawsuit names Boehner; Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. who was chairwoman of the House ethics committee at the time of the censure; and other committee members and staff. The congressman alleges that evidence was withheld by the committee staff.

In December 2010, the House voted 333-79 to censure Rangel for multiple ethical misdeeds — including failing to pay taxes for 17 years on rental income from his villa in the Dominican Republic and soliciting donations from companies with business before the Ways and Means Committee while he was chairman. The donations were going to a center being built in Rangel's honor at the City College of New York.

Obviously taking responsibility for your actions is so passé.

What irreparable harm ? He was reelected by the sheeple in his district with hardly any opposition.

Hello again, tom:

He was reelected by the sheeple in his district with hardly any opposition.

Let me see... Gerrymandering is bad, bad, bad, when Democrats do it, but it's cool when right wingers do it?

Does that about sum it up?

[tomder55]

Nope... corrupt politician censured for his corruption should not be reelected no matter how the district demographics are stacked. Yes ;I call out the people of his district for not caring enough that a crook represents them.

[talaniman]

Their all crooks, especially the right wingers who say they aren't.

There appears to be two different issues here. One being an inappropriate shirt and the other related to not paying taxes.

[paraclete]

Tutt you know there are only two issues; death and taxes, now the T-shirt is in the death category and taxes are like the poor, they are always with us

The emperor's latest amnesty ploy, we're all immigrants.

Unless you are one of the first Americans, unless you are a Native American, you came from someplace else. That’s why we’ve always defined ourselves as a nation of immigrants. And we’ve always been better off for it."

—President Obama

Excuse me, I was born in Amarillo, Tx, USA. I am a native American.

[tomder55]

His is a flawed logic . The native Americans did not originate here either . They were tribes of migrants that crossed over from Asia.

Speaking of The Goracle...

Former Vice President Gore on Tuesday said "there's no such thing as ethical oil," slamming the notion that importing oil from U.S. ally Canada was better than doing so from unfriendly nations.

“There’s no such thing as ethical oil. There’s only dirty oil and dirtier oil,” Gore told Canada’s The Globe and Mail during a Tuesday event in Toronto.

Of course not, it's much more ethical to waste billions of taxpayer dollars on "green" energy, poison us with light bulbs and generate tons of toxic battery waste.

Yeah I bet the places where the pipelines for Canadian oil, or any spill is worried about light bulbs.

Need more links, there are many. Companies screw things up all the time, Koch is notorious for it. At least you can go to Home Depot and stock up on all the old style light bulbs and candles you want.

You didn't hear about the Obama Light Bulb & Gun Task Force? When they pick up the guns, they're going to get the light bulbs too.

It's ON the internet..
