Our "barb" for the day has to go to Senator Trent Lott from Mississippi. He has always been an anomaly in my mind. Mississippi is arguably the poorest state in the Union and these people elect one on the wealthier people in the South. Does that make sense? How can he really represent his constituency? Now does the anomaly part come into focus? As well-off as Senator Lott is, he appears to be incensed by the proposed loss of charitable dining from no other than lobbyists! In his words as reported by CNN: "Some of it is outrageous," Lott said. "I mean, now we're going to say you can't have a meal for more than 20 bucks. Where you going to -- to McDonalds?" If these freebies are that important to Mr. Lott, perhaps he ought to panhandle street intersections with a sign reading "will legislate for food". Toss your own "barb" at www.barbzzz.blogspot.com.
