I’m giving out a few quick chutzpah awards tonight.  They don’t need a lot of explaining, but the recipients do leave me shaking my head in disbelief.

1.  According to Power Line:

“The younger son of the Rosenbergs — Robert Meeropol — is still on the road peddling the old-time religion. He is scheduled to speak at the University of Minnesota on October 6 on literary representations of the Rosenbergs. Meeropol is director of the Roseberg Fund for Children, which attends to “the educational and emotional needs of both targeted activist youth and children in this country whose parents have been harassed, injured, jailed, lost jobs or died in the course of their progressive activities.” I understand that the Rosenberg Fund will be considering grants for children of “activists” suffering adverse consequences of arrests at the Republican convention in St. Paul this month. (Not that there are any such consequences.)”

The fact that his parents have been proven guilty does not get in the way of his fund raising and activism–the chutzpah award goes to Robert Meeropol.

2.  According to the New York Post:

You gotta love Charlie Rangel.  As head of the House Ways and Means Committee, he doesn’t pay income tax on the rental income from an out of the country property, he uses a rent controlled apartment for an office (illegally), and now has a car stored illegally in the House of Representative parking garage.

The fact that he is the head of the committee that writes tax law doesn’t prevent him from ignoring existing current tax laws–the next chutzpah award goes to Charlie Rangel.

3.  The final chutzpah award goes to any member of the Democrat or Republican party who is currently complaining about the economy while simultaneously blocking any legislation that will allow us to use our own natural resources to provide energy, to create jobs, and to revitalize the economy.

This November, think about the message that we voters need to send to our Congressmen saying that business as usual is no longer acceptable.  All House and Senate votes are listed on the Congressional Websites www.senate.gov and www.house.gov.  Spend a little time on these sites, see how your representative votes, and cast your vote accordingly.
