Misnamed Bill of the Day

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) (pictured below during an earlier rant on the floor of the Senate) introduced a bill to extend unemployment by 20 weeks (beyond the 99 current in effect).  The name of the bill:

Americans Want to Work Act

Shouldn't that be "Americans Want to Work, But Not for Another 20 Weeks Act"?

The sign seems appropriate.

Global Warming Quote of the Day

From Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) (from Watts Up With That):

“Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I’m flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.”

Uh...right. This has been one of the quietest tornado seasons in years and as of today we have yet to have a named storm in the Atlantic, let alone a hurricane.

I think this file picture I have of Stabenow is right on the money:

Husband of Michigan Senator Caught in Sex Sting

Hookers must be all the rage among the liberal elite these days:

The husband of Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., told police he paid a prostitute $150 for sex in February.

Troy, Mich., police were investigating an Internet-based prostitution ring when they stopped Stabenow's husband, Thomas Athans, whom police believed had just met a prostitute at a hotel and paid to have sex with her, according to The Detroit News. Athans admitted to paying the 20-year-old woman to perform oral sex on him.

Athans was not arrested, but agreed to cooperate with the investigation, the paper reported, citing police documents.

"This is very disturbing and serious. Obviously, it's a deeply difficult and personal matter," Stabenow said, according to a statement from her office.

Troy police Lt. Gerry Scherlinck would not confirm that Athans was working with police, telling FOX News his agency does not release names of investigation witnesses — which Athans would be if he were cooperating with the probe.

Scherlinck confirmed, however, that department detectives did go to a Residence Inn to investigate unusual activity on Feb. 26, and stopped a man coming out who agreed to testify in court.

Athans also is co-founder and former CEO of the liberal Democracy Radio.

Stabenow was asked to describe her husband and his liberal Democracy Radio during a Senate floor speech:

Well stated.
